Shidokan Strong Rules Karate

Strong Rules Shidokan Karate is a format that has been used by Shidokan World Karate Association for 32 years. It is unlike traditional bare knuckle karate rules in that competitors are allowed a brief time to grab, clinch, throw and even submit. Staying with the bare knuckle concept of "Knockdown", fighters are encouraged to finish an oppoenent quickly should the match go to the ground. 3 seconds clinch are allowed and 5 seconds on the ground. It is not a lot of time, but it encourages one to be expediant in what he does, making it faced paced and practical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXHJiDO5bIQ
