Hittsui geri (literally: “knee-hammer kick”), the knee kick, delivers devastating blows to the groin and abdomen from a close ranges, to crush the head or solar plexus of doubled-over or kneeling opponents.
Knee strikes are simple. From close range, pull your knee up, as though you were entering a walking crane stance. Point your toes down -- not forward -- when kneeing an opponent. This seems trivial, but this makes your knee travel forward, and not up, driving an additional 3-4” (~7-10 cm) into the opponent.
Strike with the top of the knee. Striking with the front or point of the knee can dislocate your kneecap (patella).
