There is a half point penalty for each missed kick and disqualification for failing to meet the Mandatory Kick Rule (MKR) in any two rounds for any match of 6 rounds or less. In bouts in 7-11 rounds failing the MKR in any 3 rounds means disqualification. For a 12 round bout, if the MKR is not fulfilled in any 4 rounds, the fighter is disqualified. If a fighter fails to fulfil the MKR in any two consecutive rounds they will be disqualified. Sweeps must be to the front leg only from the outside in with the sole of the foot. Rounds are two minutes long with a one minute rest. Long Karate type pants are mandatory (no Thai shorts).
