Can you compete in Kyokushin if you have done pro mma?

[Rodrigo Gracie1]

Like the title says, Im just wondering.

would it make a difference where you do kyokushin? Canada/usa

 

[a dead stick]

You mean with no rank in kyokushin? I really doubt it. You best bet is to get ahold of whoever/whatever organization runs their tournaments.

Would you expect to get put against black belts?

I'm assuming that you've been training KK for quite some time already.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to compete in Kyokushin tourneys/ matches though. It doesn't say anything about it at this KK website:
Kyokushin Tournaments Rules

 

[Gorack]

If members of other Associations and styles wish to compete in Kyokushin-kai Knock-down tournaments, any grade will be allowed to enter. Providing the sign a disclaimer stating that they have practiced Karate for at least two years.

That's from the link Connoisseur just posted so it sounds like you can.

Chucky Mady from Windsor, Ontario competes in Kyokushin and he is a pro mma fighter.

I dont know where I implied I had no rank or expected to go against black belts? haha thanks tho 10er.

Conissuer thanks for the link and information.

Are reffering specificaly to the fact that you have competed proffesionaly? Most tourney's have a proffesional division these days. I guess it depends on the organisers or your local athletic comission.
