Sparring KARATE approach



POINTS

- punches to body
- kicks to body
- kick to head


KNOCKDOWN

- kicks to legs
- knees to body


FULL CONTACT

- gloves on, punches to head


So Full Contact Karate becomes Kickboxing at this point


There is an isolation in both which does not allow leg kicks, so boxing targets with karate kicks

there is then a differentiation between "kickboxing" and "Low kicks kickboxing"


SEMI CONTACT - also called FREESTYLE KARATE is points karate with more protection and more contact
