moveChecking the kick

The one exchange where the defender wins outright.
superwebdeveloper · CC BY 2.0What it is
Lifting the shin to meet an incoming round kick, so that the two bones collide and the thrower takes the worse end.
The long version
Everything else in the sport costs something to defend. A blocked punch still moves you; a caught kick still turns you. A checked kick turns the attack into an injury for the attacker, which is why a fighter who checks well can change somebody's whole game plan inside two rounds without throwing anything.
