'''World Karate Championship in Weight Categories''' is the second largest competition in [[Kyokushin]] [[Karate]]. This tournament is arranged by several kyokushin organisations and usually held every fourth year in between [[Kyokushin World Tournament Open|World Tournaments]] which do not have any weight classes.
== Rules ==
All world cup tournaments operates under knockdown karate rules which involves standup bareknuckle fighting with basically no protection. The more characteristical rules in knockdown karate compered to other styles is that you are not allowed to punch in the face and a point system that only count hits that actually "hurt" the opponent. This makes knockdown fighting very physical but at the same time quite safe considering that there are very few hits to the head. There can be slight variances in the rules between the different organizations responsible for a tournaments but the basics are the same. The rules has also been modified over the years.<ref>http://www.sokyokushin.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/KyokushinCup2015UK.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wko.or.jp/11wkc_rules/|title=COMPETITION RULES for the 11th World Karate Championship|date=22 October 2015}}</ref><ref>https://kyokushinspace.com/revision-of-kumite-competition-rules-iko/</ref>

== European Weight Category Karate Championships ==
The Kyokushin European Weight Category Karate Championships is the annual Kyokushin Karate European Championship. It has been organized since 1978 and is held in four different weight classes. The first European Championships in 1978 were known as the European Championships in London.<ref name="карате 1978-1995гг.">[http://www.kyokushinkarate.com.ua/allresults/2861-ec-results.html IKO. Результаты весовых Чемпионатов Европы по киокушин карате 1978-1995гг.] ''kyokushinkarate.com.ua'' 20.10.2014 Viitattu 30.8.2016</ref> After Oyama's death in 1994, the Kyokushi organization disbanded into several other organizations. The original IKO1 organization continued the European Championships under a new name in 1996. Between 1978 and 1996, there were mainly three weight classes, the light series (less than 70&nbsp;kg), the middle series (less than 80&nbsp;kg) and the heavy series (more than 80&nbsp;kg). Exceptionally, the first European Championships had only two weight classes.<ref name="карате 1978-1995гг."/>
===Super Heavyweight (+90 kg)===
* The weight limit for the super heavyweight series in 1982 was over 85&nbsp;kg<ref name="Kyokushin 1982">Mas Oyama's Kyokushin Karate Vol 5 No 2 (1982)</ref>
