The tournaments are really cool. The biggest difference between the knockdown and semi-knockdown categories is the use of protective gear. Semi-knockdown wears light gloves and light shin/foot pads similar to point sparring gear. Knockdown wears no pads.
They allows full power contact in all techniques except punches to the head which are not allowed. Also no grabbing and no hip throws only sweeps. These rules are specific to Yoshukai some tournaments allow real throws and grabbing the Gi.
