Knockdown tournaments

[JoeW]

Ok I am fairly new to knockdown karate and I have a couple questions.

Is there a directory where you can see where these tourneys are?

Also would you be able to compete if you were from say Tang Soo Do, TKD or any other art for that reason as long as you foloowed the rules?

How do these tourneys go? are they full contact for all belts if adult? can you compete if you are not a black belt?

Any other info that could be given would be great.

One resource that you can check, is the EVENTS listing we have here on the site....while it may not be 100% comprehensive, it is a resource.

As for who can and can't compete, that decision is totally up to the organizer, and those rules will differ greatly...but, inquiring to the organizer is totally acceptable and recommeded, as we are seeing a small but positive movement recently in allowing a variety of organizations to participate in events.

1) While there is no absolute central directory, our own events calender is pretty good, and getting better all the time.

2&3) That depends on the organizer. The best way is to contact each one directly for rules and possible limitations.
