Many people find sweeping kicks and knee jabs formidable. An important rule is not to block such attacks, which are very powerful and may result in your blocking hand being fractured.

Then, what should you do? A good counter is to avoid the sweeping kick or knee jab and strike the kicking leg at the same time. If you are close, you may strike his groin as he lifts his leg to attack, or fell him onto the ground.
