Knee Strikes

The knee is used effectively in combat against low section targets. A knee attack is helpful in freeing your upper body from the opponent’s grip. If he is concentrating on a grappling strategy, a knee to the leg or groin will distract him from his plan. A drop knee strike also can be used to finish an opponent. When the opponent is on the ground, concentrate your force into one knee and drop your body onto his body, creating a penetrating impact with your knee.

When striking, bend your knee tightly and use your hips to propel your knee to the target. Be cautious when striking hard objects with your knee because it is very vulnerable to joint and soft tissue damage. Use knee attacks against soft body areas like the groin, thigh muscle and stomach.
