=== Lethwei === {{Main|Lethwei}} {{Infobox martial art | image = Lethwei fight in Myanmar.png | imagecaption = A Lethwei match. Different from other kickboxing styles, it is fought bareknuckle | name = Lethwei | focus = [[Strike (attack)|Striking]] | hardness = [[Full-contact]] | olympic = No | country = [[Myanmar]] | parenthood = | descendant arts = | famous_pract = }} '''Lethwei''' is a type of kickboxing originating from [[Myanmar]] that features minimal rules and protective equipment. Lethwei not only allows the use of headbutts but actually emphasizes it, and fighters wear no gloves. Bouts can only be won with a knockout, either a proper or a technical. Uniquely, after one knockout and two minutes rest, the knocked out fighter may still choose to continue the fight once, unless they are knocked out in the final round. There are no points; if no knockout happens before the end of the fifth round, the fight is declared a draw. Male fighters are bare-chested and wear shorts. Protective gear consists of a mouth-guard, groin-guard, and wraps around hands and feet. Female fighters wear a sports bra and chest protection in addition to the male clothing and protective gear. Notable fighters under Lethwei rules include [[Tun Tun Min]], [[Too Too]], [[Dave Leduc]] and [[Soe Lin Oo]]. Rules: * Opponents are allowed to strike each other with punches, kicks, including kicks below the waist, elbows, knees and headbutts. * [[Clinch fighting]], throws and sweeps are allowed. * Bouts are 5 rounds (lasting 3 minutes each) with a 2-minute rest in between rounds.
