About the event
In Kyokushin, we honor the past, but we forge the future. We are transforming our Sweep the Leg IV event to instead be an Iron Gauntlet Challenge. On August 1st, we are launching a brand new standard of martial arts testing inspired by the legendary spirit of Sosai Mas Oyama and the unshakeable resolve of Fudo Myōō.
This is an open-invitation crucible. We are welcoming ALL styles—Muay Thai, MMA, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Traditional Martial Arts—to step onto our mat. Bring your style and your standard gear (Boxing gloves, MMA gloves, or Bare-Knuckle). But remember: You are entering our world. The mat is governed by Modified Sweep the Leg Knock Down Kumite Rules (Full power to the body/legs, clean sweeps, and STRICTLY NO HEAD CONTACT).
