List of Knee Strikes

List of Knee Strikes - Martial Arts Techniques This section provides details and instructions for a wide variety of knee strikes. These techniques are effective for many close range self-defense situations. While knee strikes are not allowed in some martial arts sparringmatches for safety reasons, they are used extensively by many other martial arts such as Muay Thai. Given the short range of knee strikes (versus kicks and punches), this technique is often combined with clinching or holding your attacker so he can not escape and move outside the limited range of your knee strike. Self-defense targets include the an attacker's head/chin, ribs, groin, quad muscles, etc. For information on kicking techniques, please visit the main Martial Arts Kicks section.
