Bara för att:
"There are lots of counters for side-kicks. You can check them like you do roundhouse kicks, you can use a stop kick (similar to checking, but using more of the foot to stop the kick instead of the knee or shin), change stance and step back (from say right-hand stance and move back to left-hand stance)... If the side-kick is at waist level or higher, you can use your hand against the heel of the kick to move it away from you and sometimes cause the opponent to get off balance with that move alone...
So yes, there are several ways to deal with side-kicks. The problem is that the Kick-Boxing level of many MMA fighters is low or they are so surprised that somebody is using the kick, that they don't know how to react and just get constantly tagged with it.
And calling the side-kick to the leg an "knee kick" is just got damn retarded and shows a total lack of understanding of kicking techniques and Martial Arts.
The side-kick is aimed at the MUSCLES of the leg. It damages the muscles, like roundhouse kicks do.
The technique of using a side-kick to attempt to damage the knee, is NOT to throw it straight and above the knee (where the muscles are). If standing, you would aim the kick downward at the SIDE of the knee, while HOLDING the person's wrist, arm, neck, or head. Holding the person prevents them from moving, which allows the kick to transmit force into the knee. If the person can move, the kick at the knee simply moves the leg, thus PREVENTING damage.
All this hyper-extension garbage is just that. Hyper-extension is moving the knee beyond a range of motion that it is capable, like what a KNEE-BAR or HEEL HOOK does. If I kick your bent leg and it just straighten out the leg or you leg moves back from the force of the kick, that is not hyper-extension. And there is MILD hyper-extension. Meaning the leg just slightly and momentarily went beyond normal range, which is irrelevant in fighting.
It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to severely hyper-extent a person's knee, unless you immobilize his leg, so that the leg and foot doesn't move. A technique to that, is on your back and defending from a standing opponent.
You on your back, against a standing person. One foot hooks behind his heel, while your other foot kicks his knee, at the SAME time. It is a type of scissor kick. Because the person's standing leg is caught between your 2 feet and can't move, that MIGHT cause a hyper-extension. Even then, what is more likely is the standing person falls down to the ground."
