chrismann Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Ha, well your english is better than my thai(?) ! Ok, so long as you wait until you have been kicked, before countering with a kick, you won't end up on your back. But why let yourself be kicked, when you could block, then counter? I think the kick to the thigh is an extremely punishing and painful kick, and not one that I'd just "take", unless I had unbelievably tough legs. So, you don't teach knee blocks at your school? C.
Syo Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 For sure... i block them.. with my knee, or the side of my calfs, and immediately counter strike, with a upper body kick and punch... After a leg kick, the guy protection are down and the body balance are involved, it's the time, to strike him. Haha! i search my word... it's crazy... Where is my dictionnary WHERE IS! Syo.

Reklats Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 I try to block with my instep because it hurts less. What? Blocking with the part of your foot full of small bones hurts less?
iolair Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 I prefer to either 1) if I can anticipate the kick, use a stop hit to their leg (usually with a side kick) 2) side step the kick or turn so it either misses or glances off the target. 3) if possible, combine (2) with a catch and take-down Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
WhiteShark Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Blocking with the upper part of your shin is really the only good way to block a leg kick. Everything else is a nice idea, but that is the most reliable technique. And all of you who recommend taking it have never fought a good Muay Thai fighter or you wouldn't even consider that an option! Rock Paper ScissorPunch Knee Kick^ME^ ^MY DOJO^
