I approve.

Awesom videos. Geez, those shotokan strikes to the head were very impressive. **** near KO's at every match.

On the kyokushin videos, I noticed a couple clips where ppl were punching to the head. I thought in kyokushin you could only punch to the body, although kicks are allowed to the head.

Where did you see that?

In kyokushin bare knuckle matches, there are no arm strikes to the head, in Royama's IKO and in the Daidojuku there are strikes because they wear gloves and/or head gear.

On the second video posted by woodragon, the fifth and sixth fight in shows a punch to the head, plain as day, i believe 14 or 15 seconds into the video you will see a punch to the head.

the first one is at 12 seconds i believe. I saw the video again, and I noticed only three fights where I saw a punch to the head, it was probably an accident, but the first two fights mentioned looked intentional.

Saw the parts you mentioned, in the first clip they are accidental, in the second they are "high chest punches", LOL !
Its a "gray area: punch used in kyokushin, its basically an overhand right aimed at the upper chest or shoulder (legal targets), if it happens to hit the guy in the jaw, well...too bad, unless it draws blood, then you can get penalized.
