Dette er et meget bra tiltak som gir nye fullkontakt fighters en mulighet til å komme igang. Skal man få til rekruttering og bredde i fullkontakt, så er dette vegen å gå. Sverige har sin Nordic Kyokushin Challenge som hadde sin første event i 2012, og som var meget vellykket. Norge på sin side har ennå ikke fått til dette, og sliter med frafall på de nasjonale stevnene, men som flere og flere finner ut må man ned i regions arbeidet og bygge det via mindre turneringer uten at de rutinerte knuser alle og all lyst som måtte dukke opp. NM, og NC stevnene er myntet på de som allerede har erfaring. Fullkontakt med begrensninger er og blir en egen stil , og intet naturlig springbrett opp til fullkontakt som mange først trodde. Dertil er avstanden for stor. Men nye tider er på veg, og tiltak i tilsvarende retning som våre naboer er på veg. Samtidig som vi selvsagt skal støtte opp under disse.
