How to defend against kicks?

That is a very good point.

One thing I've found effective against kicks is when they kick, slide/hop backwards just enough to not get hit (or at least not hard), then as their kick either comes down towards you (depending on what they're doing) or retracts backwards..lunge forward. Basically, follow the foot back to your opponent.

He's just way faster than u, and waiting for u to make the first move just makes his speed less obvious because u think u are actually going to hit.

instead try to make an opening to draw out his attack, then counter.

this will get u kicked harder against someone faster or with stronger legs than u.

if he notices ur lunge and raises his leg, its game over...

Use blocking tech's , with hands only because hands are quicker than feet , thats pretty simple. Then try and get him out of his comfort zone , which would mean getting in side his space and attacking with an elbow, or many other moves that can be done in that space.
