Pugură, also known as pugură boxing, Caphirian footfighting, or Caphirian kickboxing, is a Caphirian kickboxing combat sport that uses the hands and feet as weapons combining elements of Occidential boxing with graceful kicking techniques.
Initially, only foot kicks were allowed, unlike some systems such as Muay Thai, which allow the use of the knees or shins, but it allows strikes in any part of the body. Pugură is a Sarpic word for "old shoe or boot" as fighters wear specially designed boots. A male practitioner of pugură is called a priprečo while a female is called a pripreča.
