How to Perform an Unconnected Straight Knee

1. Stance & Balance: Begin in a stable fighting stance with your feet shoulder-width apart and hands up in a guard position.

2. Chambering the Knee: Lift your knee straight up toward your chest, keeping your foot flexed.

3. Hip Drive & Extension: Thrust your hips forward while extending your knee in a straight motion.

4. Impact Point: Strike with the lower thigh or upper knee, aiming for the opponent’s solar plexus, ribs, or abdomen.

5. Follow-Through & Recovery: After impact, quickly retract your leg and return to your guard stance.

This technique is effective for delivering powerful strikes while maintaining mobility and distance.
