This is a very easy exercise that just requires a little space in which to workout, again no gym or gym equipment required.
1) Stand in your ready to fight stance, Start right leg in front of left for one set the change and do left foot in front of right. make sure your kness are slightly bent, all your toes pointing forward, and your back heel raise slightly off the floor. Bend your elbows and have your hands open and up towards your face, but a little bit away from your face, make sure you tuck your chin down and bring your shoulders up, get that mean look going on
2) Lift you elbow out to the side at shoulder at a level that is parallel to the floor and turn your thumb down towards your opposite shoulder. Drive your elbow forward while pushing off your back leg and pivoting your hips.
3) Return back to your ready to fight stance, keeping your elbow bent, then bring your knee up towards the front of you, keeping your heel close to your butt toes pointing down and push your hips forward.
INSTRUCTORS TIP:
"When practicing knee strikes without making contact. Imagine that you are grabbing the shoulder and back of your opponents arm. As you knee drives forward pull your hands down towards your knee, imagine you are pulling your opponents whole upper body down into your knee. The two forces towards each other will have a much greater impact upon the connection than if only one force was moving".
Do two sets of 30 seconds remembering to switch stance each time. If you have a training partner you can do this exercise into focus pads.
