Point toes

Try both yourself for at least a few months each and figure out what works for you. Different strokes for different folks!

I will...thanks for the advice.

I guess it comes down to whatever you are more comfortable with. Personally I don't point my toes when I check a kick. The reason is that the lower the kick hits, the more leverage it will have. I'm sure that there are people out there that know how to counter this, but in my experience a person who points his toes while checking a kick is at serious risk of having the kick cut low, brush right through the foot and sweep both legs out from under the fighter.

tippy toes down for knees and kicks...tippy toes up for sheilding shit, unless it's a low leg kick, in which case just pivot on the ball of your foot so they catch the shin instead of the calf.

I thought that I raise my toes during blocks, but the camera doesn't lie! I hold my foot in more of a neutral position during leg checks.

I do point my toes down as I knee, though!
