This is where principle beats techniques. The principle is to strike from where you are, in this case the ground. Don't waste time by standing up before you strike, strike from where you are.

No matter how strong a guy's legs are, his joints are much weaker. This is the target: the knee joint. By striking the joint at an angle that it is not designed to move in can do more damage than you think. You can also do this with a palm strike to the knee. This is very good advice Mr. Dillon is giving

@spikeyeyerish or kneeing the crap out of you

Next time you know you will get into a fight... Wear some fucking protection to the fucking balls and knees..

You can pick this apart all day if you want, its a good tactic that gives someone OPTIONS!!! No technique in a fight is a sure thing, training like this opens your mind to all the different vulnerabilities of your opponent. If it works in a real fight, great! If not then adapt and then do something else that you've trained in. All of you armchair critics make me laugh....

wrong, again, if you do this you only see the knees of your opponent, staying in a very vulnerable position due the opponent is on top.

@Hanses0 It's Krav Maga. Everything is necessary for your defense. I'd rather punch a man in the weakest point of his body and give me time to run or finish him. Rather than me being pummeled and injured. So you can say hitting in the nuts is gay. Or a strategic way to disable your opponent. Problem?

Again this technique assumes too many things. That he'll follow straight at you for one. If you had time to throw that punch you had time to stand instead of putting your head where he can grab it and bring that knee to your face. He's not going to be holding a focus pad on the street. He's gonna be looking for his next target. This is classic self defense teaching vs actual martial arts, which do not allow any recourse for the attacker. This stuff will get cops killed.

id like to see this in a real fight

[spikeyeyerish]

Awful advice...You don't want to get into a swinging match when you are down like that....roll back then Shoot a double. Self Defense/fighting isn't about finishing blows it is about position. and punching someone in the knee wont get you good position. they will respond by punching you in the side of the head... o.O
