@FUSSYMUAYTHAI No it's big bone blocking small bone. The blocking bit is up towards the knee. The shin is much thicker here, the kicking bit is always more towards the ankle where it is thinner. The kicker will come off worst!
@ubersum1 The muay thai parry is simple and easy to apply and time. Hence why many people from beginners to professionals apply with equal success. If your hurting your hands applying the technique then your either doing it incorrectly or have a poor understanding of the technique, remember its one of the basic skills
@ubersum1 Its not the same technique the similarity is only superficial. In Muay Thai its only used to parry and redirect to off balance the opponent, due to it only redirecting it goes with the force rather then clashing with it, so very little damage to the user. While in karate or Taekwondo the technique as you say is used as a block, and is used to directly block or deflect head on, and unless you have well conditioned forearms you could fracture or injure your self.
@FUSSYMUAYTHAI that's not a block. it's the same technique that people criticize in karate and taekwondo - it's a sweeping movement designed to deflect, and not block. timed to perfection, there's nothing wrong with it. the problem is that it's kind of hit and miss, and it's not easy to time it exactly. you could, as you say, end up hurting your arm as well.i wouldn't recommend it either.
I have the same Thai shorts as him,
