Clicker does not allow contact? It seems I have misunderstood something, then. With risk of beeing mauled, I think it's rather silly to practice knock-down techniques without contact. In that case, I am much more in favour of our moderate knock-down rules for juniors. It's much like our semi-contact rules (WCK-S), where there are no lowkicks, no techniques to the face, moderate kicks to the head, but otherwise full contact to the body. Juniors will wear padded vest and helmet. This allows the student to practice knock-down karate, without actually beeing reckless.
