Knockdown Kumite
Knockdown fighting is A full contact fighting with no protection.
Fighting techniques which are allow include, all hand techniques (fists, elbows, Knife hand, and others) to the body, and any leg techniques (kicks, knee strikes, shin strikes, and others) to the body (legs, face or head..).
The competitors are grouped by weight divisions. Some tournaments include a senior's division, which is for fighters over 32 years old.
WEIGHT DIVISIONS : Example:
| Light weight | Middle weight | Heavy weight | |
| Adult Male | 160 Ibs & under | 161 - 179 Ibs | 180 Ibs & over |
| Adult Female | 110 Ibs & under | 111 - 140 lbs | 141 Ibs & over |
| Junior Male | 150 Ibs & under | 151 Ibs & over | |
| Junior Female | 125 Ibs & under | 126 Ibs & over |
A Knockdown fight lasts two minutes, no stopping, and is won by a single point (ippon), which is awarded when a technique sufficiently stuns the opponent so that he is unable to resume fighting within five seconds. A half point (waza ari) can be awarded for a technique that momentarily stuns the opponent. If no point is awarded during the two minute round, the referee and corner judges can decide upon a winner or send the fight into an overtime round.
The Knockdown competition required from the competitors to be in good physical condition. It required a lot of stamina and endurance to be able to compete in this event.
Semi-Contact Kumite
This Tournaments is the same like the Knockdown tournament, but here you are required to use protection.
Except for the use of protection, the rules of Semi-Contact fighting are basically the same as those of Knockdown fighting, with some minor differences. Instead of weight divisions, some organizers divide the competitors are by rank. In addition, leg techniques to the face or head are not allowed in the lower-rank division.
Semi-Contact fighting is often a good way for inexperienced fighters to get a taste of competition before moving on to Knockdown.
Clicker Kumite
Clicker fighting is been use in many Kyokushin Tournaments. Basically Clicker Fighting, is a Kyokushin's version of non-contact point fighting. Unlike the point fighting of other karate styles, where the competitors stop and restart after each point, a Clicker event lasts two minutes, without stopping. Each referee hold two counters, one for each fighter, and uses them to count the scoring techniques of each competitor (hence the name "Clicker"). The one with the most points at the end of the two minute round wins the fight. Clicker competition is also divided by rank and age.
Kata Competition
Kata competition is held in some Kyokushin tournaments. It is divided by rank and age, for both non-weapons forms and weapons forms. Competitors from other martial arts styles compete in the same divisions as Kyokushin Karateka.
