The Five Basic Rules of Lethwei
Lethwei is often referred to as “The Art of Nine Limbs.” Punches, kicks, elbows, knees and headbutts are all allowed. It is raw, no-holds-barred, authentic human combat.
Rule 1. Knockdowns are considered when a fighter falls to the floor after a strike.
Rule 2. Referee will count to 10 for knockouts. Referee will immediately restart the fight if he does not judge a fall as a knockdown. If the fighter is unsteady while standing, the referee has the discretion to regard that as a knockdown.
Rule 3. If there are 3 knockdowns in a round, the referee will rule the fight as finished via “count limit.”
Rule 4. If there are 4 knockdowns in a fight, the referee will rule the fight as finished via “count limit.”
Rule 5. According to the ringside doctor decision, mandatory 21 days suspension from all competitions if fighter is knocked out.
