Knee Techniques #

1. Attempted choke => Drain, 2X strike outside of triceps, 2X down hammer fist inside of elbows. Double cupped palm strike to ears, eye gouge with thumbs, grab back of head & pull down into rising front knee. Hop knee off back leg striking the face. Grab chin with right hand, left hand behind head, push L, then pull out and around. Rake face with right fingers, step out with right foot. Attacker does back fall, protects face with x-block, back rolls away. You aim a stomp kick at the attacker’s middle.

2. Straight punch with right, stepping in => step straight to the left while fanning away attack with left. Plum blossom. Turn toward attacker, step in with left and do knife-hand under ear. Grab shoulder with both hands, pull towards you while doing a L knee strike behind his knee. Shift L leg to front to hyper-extend attacker’s knee and push upper body forward. Knee strike with L to face. He should do a side fall. You clear attacker’s knees with your foot, stomp kick to groin. Attacker back rolls out.

3. Attempted choke => usual drain, clear hands, go after attacker’s R arm: you catch fist with your R, slide your L arm under and move in to the side with your L foot, wrap your L arm over attacker’s arm. Lean in slightly to force attacker to bend forward, L knee to rotator cup or chest, R knee to face, deep back stance to drop him. Hold onto R arm, drop knee to ribs, then to neck. Attacker does face fall, then front fall away. You watch your back and head in opposite direction to attacker’s roll.

4. Attempted choke => usual drain, clear hands, grab attacker’s ghi at lapels with both hands & pull strongly to you. Front knee, front round knee, hop back knee. Turn towards your back leg so that your back is to him as you put that foot down. Scoop with L under arm while doing a reverse osoto. Attacker does a front fall, then thread the needle + front roll away. (I do 360 leg swing in place of thread the needle.) The finish is to sweep the atacker’s arm from under, stomp kick, watch your back.

5. Attempted choke => usual drain, clear hands, go to outside holding wrist and upper arm of attacker’s R arm. Force arm down as you come up with a L knee strike to do a break. Hop knee strike to stomach with R, do a kosoto sweep. Attacker does front fall, then 360 sweep + front roll. The finish is to sweep the atacker’s arm from under, stomp kick, watch your back.
