With the knee can be both beaten and pushed. Impact surface is the kneecap. Knee techniques are primarily conducted against the inguinal canal, the hull sides, the solar plexus, the genitals and thighs. Knee techniques are very effective and dangerous. For all knee techniques the proper use of the hips is important. At the knee shock the hip is strongly shifted to the target; in contrast to the knee strike a very strong hip rotation is used. The standing leg is slightly bent.

The knee is pushed with the near upper thigh tip into the target. At the knee shock the direction has no influence, it can be executed to the side or straight up, e.g. to frontward flexed opponents.
