Good advice received so far on this thread. There is another strategy as far as blocking Thai kicks. The logic is as follows:
You kick him and he shields --> you win
He kicks you and you shield --> you win
You kick him and he doesn't shield --> you win
He kicks you and you don't shield --> he wins
3 out of 4 is pretty good odds. It only works if your shins are hard though. But it's a great feeling when they throw their best kick into your shin and you tell them, "Ohhh, that feels good. Let me have some more." It messes with their confidence.
