Knockdown Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Open. Our next Tournament allows 3 second grabs, encircling the leg, pulling down into a knee and some other minor deviations to the Kyokushin Style of Knockdown karate . I am also sponsoring a Byakuren Stylsit to come to my dojo to teach their brand Of Knockdown Karate for a semianr. Fun Stuff! We also Cross train with Kickboxers, as well as other styles who do Knockdown Karate. osu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotegashiNeo Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I just did my first point sparring tournament and got DQ'ed for spin side kicking my opponent and knocking the wind out of him. All the Sensei at the tournament made such a fuss about my control but the dude jumped onto my foot! No joke my kick was still in its chamber. If that guy believes that he could defend himself on the street I feel bad for him. Anyway after that experience I will never do a point tourney again it was so lame, in full contact what I did was good but in karate tag..............

Knockdown Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I think that any Karate-ka can decide to fight FUll contact on occasion and good for them, it will enhance training. But in my mind, to be a "Full Contact Fighter" means that this is the diminant style that you train for. it means that you are fighting on a frequent and regular basis for full contact. and this means doing the body conditioning, drills for fighting, etc etc so that when you do fight full cotact, weather it is 1 X a week or 4 X a week, you are getting mentally and physically ready for it all the time. this helps to get accustomed to fighting hard contact, and also actually cuts down on injuries.

Knockdown Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 yes. An example of a typical touranment we have been to http://www.uskyokushin.com/results/event_2002_10_05.htm This is not the organization I am in personally, but they have open tournaments, and through a decent event. I think that there are so many small organizations in the U.S., that open tournaments are pretty necessary, otherwise the divisons are too small. Of course, there are still some closed tournaments too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
