This article will focus on (surprise!)inside defenses. Inside defenses involve redirecting strikes/grabs from an outside position to inside using your arms or legs. Often, these are straight attacks such as straight stabs, punches, and kicks.
Some examples:

Inside leg deflection vs straight kick. (see video below)
Here are some visual examples:
