Allowed Techniques

• Grab the opponent’s leg when he projects a kick.
• Frontal kicks : These will be allowed only when they pass the belt line.
• Circular kicks : may impact on any part of the body with the exception of the genitals.
• Locks : Blocking with the tibia is allowed.
• The Clinch : The opponents can hold each other to hit each other, using the allowed punches. If within a time limit of 5 “, no blow is made by either party, the referee must separate them.
• Projections : They are always valid as long as judo techniques are not used.
• The knees : They can be used to hit whenever the impact is not in the genital area. These will have a great impact in favor of obtaining points on the cards.
