The only illegal strikes standing are hitting the back of the head and of course eye pokes.

You are not allowed to use clawing attacks either.

well, then... as an armchair fighter, i would like to see it put to more use!! the overhand is remotely similar (downward angle) but not really, afaik, because it's more looping, not really ax-like splitting down the center.

re: claw

does that mean you can't grab muscles during grappling?

An uppercut would probably be the result.

And yes no stratching. I don't really consider that strike.

As I mentioned on the SC thread you can still do a lot of things you are not allowed to do elsewhere. Like these slams...
