DEFENSE AGAINST LOW ROUND KICK

(USING THE SHIN) Defenses

STARTING POSITION: Left-leg-forward fighting stance.

1. As the attacker makes a right round kick, bring your left knee up, angled out
at about 45° (your knee should point toward the incoming kick). Your toes
should be pulled up (this helps to flex the muscles along the calf, offering at least
some protection for the shin). In case the kick comes high instead of low, have
your left arm up in a defensive position with the elbow touching your left
(defending) thigh, making a complete wall from foot to fist.
