Roundhouse Knee Kick
The roundhouse knee kick is a circular
kick that is ideally suited to striking the
targets on the outside of the leg and it
combines very effectively with the
roundhouse kick. (See figure 46 – low-
level roundhouse kick.)
To throw the roundhouse knee
kick, bend your knee and raise your
leg to the side. Pivot on your
supporting leg and bring your knee
around in a circular path to strike your
chosen target. (Figs. 39 to 40)
The main targets for the
roundhouse knee kick are the floating
ribs, lower abdomen, the muscle
insertion point above the knee, and the
common peroneal nerve.
