STOMPED DOWN ON HIS FEET

Hi, I would like to understand what this "ON HIS FEET" does mean exactly on this sentence I have read on the Miles Davis's Autobiography:

'He wouldn't ever fight me even if I STOMPED DOWN HARD ON HIS FEET for a week, because he just wasn't that kind of person.'

Thanks in advance, Jo.
