Foot Stomp K1

[Tugboat]

Are foot stomps legal in K1?

Just a small debate at the gym. I think they are, but nobody's really sure.

May not be the best tactic, but as far as the rules go...

 

[Harmonica]

Lol, no.

only head stomps

Funny how the question never came up until this week.

Foot stomps are a product of wall fighting in the cage. You rarely have a situation where you would even have a chance to utilize them.

I briefly looked at Glory's rules and didn't see foot stomping as illegal.

Exactly my point, and the reason for the confusion.

Clearly not a good tactic, but against the rules?

Ambivalenceking made it out to be so obvious, as far as the rules are concerned, but in fact its still not known for sure.

A strike is a strike.

foot stomps are not listed in the fouls of either Glory or K-1. So technically it is legal.

However I was surprised to read this in the Glory rules just now: "All techniques targeting the back of the head or back or the torso"
Not allowed to attack the torso? why the hell not?

Because you can damage the spine.

back of the torso
