If someone shoots for the legs, I'll just knee him

IMO Osiris is correct, if you lift your leg you're going down.

Now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light, that's right, your pain, the pain itself is a white ball of healing light....... I don't think so!

Well you still sprawl. You just throw the knee forward a split second before kicking the opposite leg back. Whether the knee lands or misses you still kick the opposite leg back. It doesn't sound very good in when I'm trying to explain in words, but one time I actually put my sparring partner unconscious. Took me a few seconds to realize that he was out as I lay ontop of him.
