We worked on the low, checking kick. This is performed with a stiff leg, and a pendulum-type motion. It's more of a leg-obstruction or stop-hit than a true strike.
Great question Sharaf! A definition of term is always the beginning of communication. In this case, it's an obstruction of forward motion, and/or preventing use of the opponent's legs by a lead-leg push. Notice that this will put the opponent back on his heels and create an opening while preventing transfer of weight? To me, that means that even if the opponent hits me, it will be an arm punch only.
