WHOA! HOLD ON!

No face shots?!

And I thought someone said there was grappling?!

If it works, use it!

If not, throw it out!

I must admit, although they are merely competition rules, i found the kyokushinkai competitions to be a tad odd, with the no-face striking. Could create a bad habit of not defending. Also i noted the competitions were done close-quarters, which exposes them to grapple assaults, yet i did not note any grappling actions. These two issues could be problematic for the practitioner.

Well, we could always hold full-contact, bare-knuckle, no-holds-barred matches like MasOyamaSosai did in the old days.

Where striking anywhere was OK, grappling/throwing was OK.

People got seriously injured though...............

Remember, In Kyokushin rules fighting is BARE-KNUCKLE,

i think people dont understand this sometimes.

Oh i had no illusions on that, just noting some of the potentially problematic issues that could develop due to the rules of your competitions. A student putting too much emphasis on those competitions could get these 'rule-habits' ingrained, and then he would be wide open for face shots and takedowns.

One thing i do like about kyokushin is that it's one of the few systems that recognizes the inherent advantages of equidistant assault.

It's not like what you are saying , kyokushin puts a lot of emphasis on defending your face , as a mater of fact , kyokushin guard is very similar to a kickboxing guard
