How to do a Muay Thai Shin Block

This page will show you how to do a martial arts shin or leg block. This block is most commonly known as a Muay Thai shin block. This technique uses your leg or shin to block an opponent's roundhouse kick to your leg or body. The shin block is often combined with a head-level arm block (so your head, body and legs are protected).
