Formalization of Junior Tournament Rules
02/08/2025
KIF have formalized the rules for junior tournament and are now distributing them.
There are no changes to the content of the rules themselves. They remain the same as before.
Until now, there has only been a comparison table of the rules, but this will be distributed separately in August as supplementary material, along with explanations of U16 chokeholds and joint locks, as well as explanations of how to handle long hair etc.
Additionally, we are currently reviewing the tournament rules for the general division.
If it becomes necessary to align the rules with those of the general division, such as in cases of loss of fighting will, we will implement the changes in conjunction with the revision of the general division’s tournament rules.
Any minor corrections or revisions of the junior rules will be implemented at that time.
