They give you a knockdown karate core, and then let you branch out into grappling and/or kickboxing if you want to. If you train in Chicago, shidokan will be optimal. World Oyama allows more grabbing than kyokushin, but only grab-execute technique-release. They are also into kickboxing in a big way, atleast in Japan. Seidokaikan puts on gloves in overtime and goes into kickboxing. Shidokan still fights knockdown as basic fight format, and is also heavily into kickboxing. the rules are different to that of kyokushin as iirc throws are not allowed in kyokushin. The triathlon rules (subsequent rounds of knockdown rules, kickboxing rules and MMA rules) are not the basic rules for shidokan tournaments, but is more a popular format of special tournament rules. Aside from Enshin karate or Ashira Has any other style ever won the Sabaki challenge Also Have any non karate styles won Edit: to be clear this is a tournament created by Enshin karate BUT IT IS OPEN TO ANY MARTIAL ART STYLE. Shidokan allows clinch and limited time grapple after throws (limited judostyle training included). Ashihara and enshin allows grabbing and holding with one hand. Kyokushin have implemented more "no grabbing/no holding" rules over time. Seidokaikan and Shidokan puts in classes of kickboxing after a while, side by side with the traditional knockdown fighting. They are also including a lot more throws into the formal training. Martial artists commonly encounter the term in the combination tai sabaki. Ashihara and Enshin have replaced the traditional kata with newly created ones, and put much more focus on circular footwork. Twelve officials, including six enshin stylists, were chosen for this year's.

In style they are all pretty much the same.
