KNEE STRIKE
Combatives
If a front kick is analogous to a straight punch, then knee strikes are analogous
to elbow strikes. That is, they are for the close-in fight, and they can be
devastating.
STARTING POSITION: Left-leg-forward fighting stance in close proximity to
your opponent.
1. Grab your opponent’s right arm and shoulder firmly by grabbing handfuls of
skin. Push your right forearm against your opponent’s neck, keeping your elbow
down. This prevents your opponent from dropping down and “shooting in” to
grab your legs.
