I don't Block w/ the shin, I step in a little and drive a knee to the iner thigh Of the kicking leg ! and you can knee the base leg after if you like.

[CROFTAHK]

GREAT VID ! only have one problem with the bringing your back leg across to block . you should just try to train each leg to block each side/

[dss103]

You can't really use the cross block for a low kick in MMA but the trade-off there is you can slam them instead :)

[bourquechris]

Gee, I hate getting kicked in the leg--it hurts. Block and knock the MF out.

@sifuwilley im a kickboxer and we just block with shin stepping a LITTLE bit forward to counter with punches or kick, depends

[marinlille]

how about trying to be light on your feet and try to just make him miss?

[marinlille]

@ukbassmassive kicking heavy bag with bare shins is a great conditioning

[hseckink]

@sifuwilley Good ! Do you have any link which is showing how to do that ? Thank you Sifu ...

A nice stop kick works pretty good as well,just throw a teep(foot jab) towards his knee or instep and jam his kick and follow with your hands,heck you can even teep his base leg at the knee joint to damage it ,just make sure your timing is good.

leg kicks are better then kicking the mid secton of the body cos if u kick it be hard them to kick or stand, with the belly there only going to go down, the head is good to for kicking cos there not going to stand. :-)

I am also told to block with the lower part of the shin, which is less painful! Shin block is a standard way against the low kick but I do believe it will always hurt a bit no matter how conditioned the shin is! Shin and foot are just very sensitive everytime when they land on anywhere of the body! I just always try to step in instead of blocking it when I see a low kick coming to me!

@prisoner694 This block works, but could be very, very, very painful, even damage a lot! In Muay Thai fighters uses this block very often, I don't know how many and how often you see Thai fight but I see that very often!
