Karate Continuous - Light Contact

Karate Continuous - Light Contact or Light Contact (LC), is a hybrid of Karate Continuous - Full contact and Semi contact/Pointsfighting. In contrast to the score-and-break rhythm of the semicontact bouts, the sparring is continuous without interference by the referee as long as no foul play takes place and penalties need to be awarded.

In Light contact sparring demands a lot of technical skills and a high level of stamina. It differs from Fullcontact in the severity of the blows allowed. All attacks are to be executed with maximum control. Hard punches and kicks which could lead to a knockout are not allowed.
