Karate Knee Techniques
Karate knee techniques are mainly used in close range attack to the groin, thigh, solar plexus and chest. You can strike in many directions: With the knee—up, down, sideways, forward, inside and outside. When size and weight are in your adversary's favor, you can use his own superior weight and girth against him.
By using your knee movements wisely, by attacking his weakest pressure points, a good small person can cut a big dude down to his size with a few stinging knee smashes.
The Knee Smash
This is the most effective karate knee technique and can temporarily disable an opponent.Bend knee and bring up your leg. Point the knee toward your target. Zero in! Smash upward!

If necessary, apply first aid immediately. Then call a doctor... But if you're in danger... leave at once!

A few Knee Side Smashes will convince your opponent that you ain't fooling around!
