this technique is poor, like previous comments point out, the knee is way to high causing imperfect balance susceptible to being swept easily. Also when checking a kick you have to meet your shin with your opponents shin in essence turning your knee towards the leg kick so your tough shin bone takes the brunt of the force. This is much safer and less painful, oh and your opponent will think twice to kick again. LOL

@killerpnthehiller wellif u already know then y u on the vid?

@98ElectronicMachine If he kicks hard and you lean into the kick, you might not lose balance. You kind of have to match his force, to a degree. If he leaned in super hard here, where the guy is kicking light, he would probably stumble forward. Remember that this is just a training demo, not a full-speed/full-contact video, so the intensity is way down.

@TheRichardHinckley Oh :')

[TheRichardHinckley]

@lootersown Probably judo or jiujitsu. A fundamental thing for safety in those arts is being able to land from falls, so every time I've ever seen people practice, they start with a bunch of breakfalls and rolls.

[98ElectronicMachine]

if he brings his shin up & the guy kicks too hard, he could lose balance !

[IchigoAndBleachRock]
