erm...checking a leg kick isn't quite as simple as you make out.
Sure, you can just lift your leg and take the impact on the shin. Which won't be painful really as any half decent fighter will pull the power rather than clatter into a raised leg at full force.
Problem is, what are you gonna do the next time when the kick changes course mid point and aims for the arms, calf or standing leg instead?
Leg kicking is almost like a sport in itself the amount of depth there is to it.
For anyone that really wants to understand, I recommend no shin guard leg kick sparring. It's super popular in Thailand as they have the control not to fuck each other up. This will the point when 99% of people realise they know the square root of fuck all.
