Topic Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Why do we stay on our toes when excecuting knee strikes? And we also stay on our toes when were in a clinch to give knees to the ribs. Why is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiboxerken Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 You stay on your toes for a knee strike to help you pivot your foot and rotate your hips. If you are doing clinched upward knees, your toes should actually help you lift your knees up, almost like jumping. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

Jerry Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Makes sense ..... we do all our kicks the same way, even a front kick if you follow up.

Fat Donkey Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I asked the master about this and he gave me the shock absorber analogy. Besides the extra power, being on your toes allows u greater manuverabilty and the ability to take a push or strike from your opponent without falling on your bum Donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
