Practicing is very important for karate athletes to improve their abilities.  This study used a quantitative method with 84 participants. The measuring instrument used is social-comparison scale (α = 0.866), self-regulation scale (α =0.845), and motivation to practice scale (α=0.886). The results of the major hypothesis showed that there was a relationship between social-comparison and self-regulation with motivation to practice (p=0,000; r=0.658). The results of the minor hypothesis test one show that there is a positive relationship between social-comparison and motivation to practice (p=0.000; r=0.615). These results are the same with the second minor hypothesis on the variable self-regulation and motivation to practice (p=0.000; r=0.592). The results of this research will provide benefits in the development of psychology, especially in the field of sports psychology.
