ROUND KNEE STRIKE

Combatives

Knee strikes may be applied from different angles. Like a round kick, a round

knee starts like the standard strike, relatively straight, and then the hip rolls
over. This variation should be practiced after you’ve mastered the basic knee
strike; it’s quite effective if your opponent is in front of you but leaving his side
open to your attack.

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.
