Shin kicking was not no much invented as evolved from older British Wrestling styles such as Devon or Norfolk Wrestling which incorporate the kick as a part of taking the person down. Shin kicking is still a wrestling style as the final aim is to throw the opponent to their back but the lower play i.e. the kicking has become much more emphasised.

Samuel Widdowson invented shin guards. They were invented in 1847. At that time players were allowed to hit the shins of other players during games.
