[KS7.0] Basic Mount Technique-[Knee Strike from the Guard]

When the opponent tries to clear your guard, in an attempt to make a top mount, the groin may be exposed. Just because you’re on your back does not mean you abandon striking.

Execution:

• Student is on his/her back.
• Bring one knee up for support placing one foot on the ground.
• Raise the second foot off the floor.

• Execute knee strike by pushing off the support leg.

Note: This strike can be done with either knee. The target is the groin or coccyx.

Note: If possible, throw the opponent to the side once you have your knee in his/her groin. This is your chance to regain your feet or place the opponent on their back.

Target Area:

• Coccyx (If the attacker straddles you above the waist.)

Note:  Alternate the knee strikes and drive the knees into the coccyx one right after the other.
