Knee Strikes For In-Close Fighting

Devastate Your Opponent

After looking over the last dozen or so video posts, I realized I have been focusing on strikes, attacks, and joint locks that utilize mostly the upper body. You don’t want to be a one-sided fighter, so it is important to know techniques you can use if your hands and elbows are not free to strike.The knees are one of the most powerful self defense weapons a person has, so this week’s video teaches you just how simple using the knees can be.

How To Pick Locks. (Who Needs Keys?)

You may find this shocking, but picking open a standard "tumbler" lock, (like the one on your front door), is pretty damn easy when you know how it's done.

And in a "meltdown" survival situation, (once the smash-n-grab crowd has stolen everything not tied-down), the food and water and secure shelter will all be behind locked doors, (which explains why Special Forces are often trained in lock picking... and why they carry a set of lock pics with them).

It's a lot of fun learning this skill, (it doesn't take long)... and kinda nice to help out that buddy locked out of his house after the wife discovered what really happened on that "no money down" real estate seminar in Vegas.

Breaking It Down

Much like the elbows, the knees are able to do two things other self defense weapons can’t: First they are able to create a large amount of force in tight spaces, and second they are sturdy so your risk of getting your knee injured while striking is minimal.

It is best to end a fight by getting in close and striking a sensitive target. A job the knees are perfect for. Once you are inside close most fighters won’t know what to do (they rely on punches and kicks). However getting in close means that you will have to pass through the punching range to get there.

This is where distraction techniques come into play. Even though you may have distracted your opponent you still have to keep your guard up as you move in, as Gabriel demonstrates in the video.

Ending The Fight

Once you are in tight simply drive your knee into his stomach, solar plexus, or groin. I recommend the groin.

You really want to try to grab a hold of the back of your attackers head as you strike. This will pull him into your strike and set you up for a followup to the face.

A single knee strike to the groin is probably not going to end the fight, but a knee to the groin followed by a well executed knee to the face probably will.

This move is all about getting in close, taking control or your attacker (by grabbing his head), and getting a few quick strikes in to end the fight quickly.

  9. Best to avoid contact altogether……your opponent might just know the same moves and then its just a case of who gets in 1st:

    Thanks for this stuff anyway

  10. A leg shot to the groin can be done to avoid getting in so close and it is easier for aiming at the groin to target from underneath. A scoop kick to the groin can be effective from even further away. For the most damage a person must get to the testicles from underneath rather than the front.

  11. Nice technique. Multiple knee strikes driving into targets most effective. Distraction needed to get in close or follow in after elbow or hook. Another option may be to use off centreline if possible after locking up an arm and stretching out head ,to prevent retaliation by headbutt or elbow defence against knee strike directly.

  14. What an amazing and informative video. It’s hard to believe that so much ‘knowledge’ could be passed on in such a short video. As soon as I saw this, I sent it to my wife’s email. I think every woman should see this video. Keep our women safe. skyking
