Knee Boxing

08.08.2025

My Cotswold Karate teacher client focused on knee strikes today. It seemed like a natural progression from our low kick, Dutch inspired sessions over the past tow weeks. We looked at knee strikes outside of the clinch, which is especially demanding but also very rewarding for the overall stand-up game.

After going through the mechanics of delivering knee strikes - looking at variations of the straight knee/spear knee, delivered as a long knee, a close range knee, whilst pulling the guard down and from a diagonal angle in the mirror. Then we put them into these specific sparring/isolation 3-minute rounds:

1. Placing knees around guard

2. Knees versus defence only

3. Knees only sparring

4. Knees versus boxing

5. Knees versus teeps

6. Knees versus round kicks

7. Knee-boxing versus defence only

8. Knee-boxing
