Rules

There are also high, medium-high circular kicks, as well as other kicks such as: the front, the descending, the oblique descending, the spinning kicks, the front and hook kicks, however, several of these are very spectacular but little effective in a fight since they are complicated and allow the opponent to fit, block, dodge or deflect them, so they are usually seen in the last rounds if the putting out of combat or knock out KO It is no longer possible, in order to win by points.
• In the hip it is not allowed to hit, nor in the genitals.
• Each assault consists of three minutes and one minute of rest (with many variations, such as two and a half minutes with 45 seconds, etc.).
