| Basically, last man (or girl) standing wins. No gloves of any kind, although a chest guard or a cup is allowed. |

| What so you are allowed to hit them in the face with bare knuckles, hit them in the groin, poke them in the eyes? |

No punches to the face. But body punching OK
Kicks & knees to the face OK.
No throws, grabs or ground fighting in Kyokushin - this varies greatly form knockdown style to knockdown style.
Kyokushin fighters are famous for their ablility to withstand and deliver a great deal of punishment under these parameters.
The late Andy Hug was an incredible example of what Kyokushin training can accomplish. Hug and his arch rival Francisco Filho achieved great things in the famous K-1 tournaments where fighters where gloves and fight under slightly modified Muay Thai rules.

Aren't Kyokushin's techniques (when I say this I mean the way of praticing them) half-way between Shotokan and Goju-ryu?
I think I read this once. |

Mas Oyama studied those styles and more. The techniques heavily influenced him when founding Kyokushin but the way that students train - particularly spar - can vary significantly from those two styles. This is a gross generalization but most Kyokushin schools will emphasize much heavier contact in training than those styles.
