Practicing multiple knees before we move to the heavy bag just to make sure we've got
the rhythm and the motion. I like to use the wall. We start off, you want to place both
hands close on top off the wall. That's going to simulate you having hold of someone's head.
So, hands up close. When you start off with the first knee, my right knee, I'm going to
rise up on the ball of my foot, and I'm going to stay on the ball of my foot for the duration
of the exercise. I rise up. I hit with the right knee. When I come down, I kick the left
leg out. Now with my right foot. Again, I stay on the ball of my foot. I repeat that
now with the left side. Hit with the knee, pointing the toes down, bending the leg back,
kicking the right leg out, staying on the balls of my foot.
Once I've got the general motion, I want to start speeding it up now. One. Two. Three.
Four. Also, when you kick the leg out, you take your hips out. When you come in with
the knee, you bring your knee in. Out, in. Out, in. Out, in. Out, in. You can do that
for three minutes. Rest. Another three minutes. It could turn out to be a good little workout
just trying to get the rhythm. You'll feel the fatigue and the stress in your legs, which
also, too, is what you want to try and build up on. That was just a quick demonstration
of a little knee exercise to help you before you move on to the big bag.
