Shin checking incedental padding

Postby Flynn Cu Maige » Tue Mar 13, 2012 1:06 pm

Our realm is filled with the bigger is better sickness. basically almost every noob here fights red. i fight twins and snb.



now then, last week a kid came at me with a short glaive. he swung about hip level and being a twin fighter i quickly closed, however because i had just finished training that morning i instinctivly fired a shin check that solidly stopped his weopon cleanly on the incedent padding. for those unfamiliar a shin check is the act of bringing your knee up to about solar plexus level and pointing your foot down,creating a wall to cushion a kick. it is not a strike in any way shape or form. so my question is... did i legally block that red strike??

also if it is legal i dont recommend it to everyone. im a kickboxer so the calcium deposits in my shins allow me to do it. i dont think its as simple for every one, which is another reason i wanted to bring it up. its like making a weapon that only one person knows how to use. so im fully prepared for it to be illegal i just wanna kjnow for sure so i can educate the guys here. thanks.
Once you have taken a few punches and realized your not made of glass,you don't feel alive unless your pushing yourself as far as you can go.

It's definitely legal. As long as the striking surface doesn't hit you with sufficient force, you're golden.
