How to Perform a Connected Knee Strike

  1. Establish Control: Secure a grip on your opponent, such as a double collar tie (Muay Thai clinch) or an arm control grip.

  2. Balance & Positioning: Keep your stance strong, with feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring stability.

  3. Chambering the Knee: Lift your knee sharply toward your chest while maintaining control of your opponent.

  4. Hip Drive & Impact: Thrust your hips forward while extending your knee in a straight motion, aiming for the solar plexus, ribs, or abdomen.

  5. Follow-Through & Recovery: After impact, either retract your leg for another strike or transition into another technique, such as a sweep or elbow strike.

This technique is highly effective in close combat, allowing for repeated strikes while controlling the opponent’s movement.
