Maybe we can all learn how to do those beautiful flips that Rutten does when he wins a fight. Bas Rutten.....blaaaa!!!! He's as old as Tank Abbott or Ken Shamrock.

Well lets look at that question.....I gained no pain by avoiding the kick for one thing. I avoided a possible broken leg for another thing. Why not close the gap as soon as he plants that kicking leg down. Thats when he has less time to react to a counter attack and is slightly off balance.
You guys realize that my question was about getting kicked in the supporting leg WHILE the other leg is "suspended" right?
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Becca, read my post again I said SIGNIFICANT superficial nerves. The primary nerves of the leg is the femoral and sciatica and obturator and they are deep also the superficial ones are sensory primarily not Motor. To do real damage hit the pressure points of the leg. Ie the IT band. Do your anatomy 1st.
To answer the Original question.
If I had to choose how I would want to be hit in the knee while weight bearing it would be from the rear 1st, from the inside 2nd from the outside or laterally 3rd and from the front 4th. Worst would be from the lateral front. KC

Typical response from a Canadian or from the English. Do you hold you little finger out also while you sip your tea? Soccer sucks. You run run and run the whole game and then the final score is one to zero. Or zero to zero. Thats exciting (not). Try a real sport like collage wrestling or even high school wrestling. Thats a rough sport.
The counter is what "he's" giving you as soon as "he" sees you plant your leg to execute a kick... The question is not if you get kicked. When actually sparring, you will get hit. The question is what kind of injuries you might expect with a pivot style roundhouse kick vs. a set-though style roundhouse kick.
To each thier own. I would rather not risk hyper extending my knee that way.
As to the nerve issue. The outer thigh may not have the critical motor control nerves, but they do have signifigant nerves. Sensory pain may not be as long term disabling as motor nerve pain, but in a fight, long term is not the (only) focus. a couple good whaps to the outside thigh with a MT roundhouse, you are going to flinch every time your opponant looks like they are setting up another...
With out Motor nerve you cant move your leg so you are a sitting duck. KC

But the real important part about getting kicked on your weight bearing knee, is how fast you can grab some dirt once you are down and project that into your enemies eyes.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
