It is the kick judges duty to count all kicks thrown by their fighter that
strike their fighters opponent above the waist or to count all kicks thrown with
power that miss, but still display strong INTENT to Land with Power.
FLICK or SNAP kicks that do not hit their opponents body will "NOT"
be counted as kicks.
There are 6 required kicks for Amateurs and 8 required for Pro fighters per
round.
Using kick count cards supplied by the promoter, the kick judge shall begin
at -6- OR -8- and count the kicks DOWN. Once ALL kicks have been met, the kick
counter will place all cards face down.
At the end of the round, the kick judge is required to inform the center
referee if the fighter has missed ANY kicks.
POINT DEDUCTIONS FOR MISSED KICKS: For each round a fighter does
not make his/her minimum amount of required kicks, the fighter will be deducted
1 point from the round score. Fighters cannot "Make-Up" their missed
kicks in a later round.
