Knee Kick Exercise: Self Defense

"How-to" Begin Learning the Knee Kick

This Knee Kick Exercise from women's self defense is a fast way to begin putting this skill into your motor memory. Begin by standing in a relaxed Ready Stance position with your feet staggered.

Your feet should be shoulder width apart, and one foot should be approximately the length of your food behind the other. The foot you will kick with will be the foot that is behind, the other leg is called the support leg.

Remember to keep the knees slightly bent with the foot flat on the ground. Extend both hands out in front of you, one hand over the other, about waist high. Your hands will be the target, so have them extended out away from your body about 10 or 12 inches.

Practice the knee kick by striking your hand. Switch legs so you get a feel for either side. For rapid knee strikes to the hands, be sure to push down slightly with your hands as the knee makes contact. This should give you a sense of how powerful your legs are as self defense weapons.

It is important to keep the large muscles of the leg relaxed until just before striking the target area. This will increase the speed of the technique. The support leg should have the foot firmly planted flat on the ground with the knee slightly bent for maximum balance and to transfer power to the target area.

Training Tip: Another suggestion from women's self defense is to practice your knee kicks in the type of clothing you would normally wear. This is so you can learn what restrictions may cause limitations in your range of motion. Wear comfortable flat shoes to begin learning this skill.

Your legs are several times stronger than your upper body, so practice this self defense move until you feel confident in your ability to strike with your knees.knee kick exercise,womens basic self defense moves,ultimate knee kick, bruce lee style kick
