Leg Blocks

[Callandor]

Did you just suggest kicking a knife out of someone's hand ala Chuck Norris?

No, ha ha, of course not. I can't even kick higher than my waist. I just thought it might work if Chuck Norris did it.

I don't like crescent or axe kicks, they leave counter shots open to the groin or supporting leg.

Yeah, neither does my Ba gua teacher! I'm injured at the moment so i'm on the sidelines during class sparring - was having great fun last week watching a fellow student doggedly trying to nail my teacher with crescent kicks, only to be sat time and time again on his **** with the gentle reminder, "don't do that, very dangerous"

I use the knee/shin block all the time, I don't think I've ever met a good fighter who didn't.

I think axe or crescent kicks may not be good as the initial first attact, but once you have hurt them, why not?
