I remember this happened back in the day with Cung Le vs Frank Shamrock.
Has this happened any other time recently?

Gonzagua broke Couture's arm with a kick, Liddell broke Franklin's. It's amazing that they both lost despite such critical damage.
Go to the nearest mma/muay thaT/kickboxing gym wear pads and have 16 years old kick you with the pads on. You will realize a 16 can easily break your arm blocking a kick. Blocking kicks with your fore arms isn't a valid defense.I dont think people can kick that hard anymore in the USADA era
16 years olds can do that. Blocking kicks with your fore arms isn't a valid defense and you have never trained in your life if you think that only roided monsters can do thatI dont think people can kick that hard anymore in the USADA era

You don't block kicks with your forearms. Unless you want them broken. This is basic kickboxing, muay thai, mma.Agreed. Chris Leben used the far superior defence of getting kicked in the head. Nothing broken... unless you look with an MRI
How do you block them then?You don't block kicks with your forearms. Unless you want them broken. This is basic kickboxing, muay thai, mma.

I don't disagree just genuinely curious.
I trained some kyokushin years ago and it was standard to block with the forearm, closer to the elbow than in the above pics though and more like a forearm supported by the other hand. Yes, a higher level guy would hurt the defender's arm but assuming similar skill the attacker's leg was hurting more than the defender's arm.
Two arms to one legHow do you block them then?

*traneI snapped a chicken wing like that just last week. Don't mess with me; I train KFC
Yes it is obviously better not to get hit at allThat can work a lot of the time but not as effective as leaning back.
