what karate kumite sparring style suits me best?
i want to practice a karate style where you can kick and punch the body and face and throw the person or trip him/her.
(i was also wondering if open karate tournament means any style of karate is welcome to enter and even if you arn't in a school)
If you are looking for a karate style that incorporates throws and trips as well as strikes, I suggest Kempo Karate.
Kenpo can be considered a mixed Martial Art in itself as it involves many different types of techniques. Equal emphasis is placed on the use of the hands and feet for striking. The use of elbows and knees is often practiced as well. In addition to striking techniques, Kenpo also incorporates take-downs, throws, joint-locks and other manuevers.
One staple of Kenpo is the use of the black gi (uniform) at higher ranks. This gives kenpo practioners a visual differentation from traditional karate styles that mainly use the white gi. Kenpo also involves the study and practice of Kempo forms or katas (literally: "form") which are detailed choreographed patterns of movements practiced either solo or in pairs.
As far as an open tournament, yes that means it is open to the public. However, I suggest being a part of a school before entering a tournament.
