How to do the Knee Kick

The knee kick pops the bag up off the top of the thigh. It is the rescue contact when the bag drops too low and too close to get a foot under, and it is the surface a knee delay lands on.

STEP BY STEP

1. Drop the bag from your hand so it falls close to your body, lower than kicking height.
2. Drive the knee up so the thigh comes toward parallel with the ground.
3. Meet the bag on the flat of the thigh just above the knee.
4. Keep the thigh level at contact so the bag goes up rather than forward.
5. Recover the foot back underneath you and carry on.

TIPS

• A thigh that is still rising sends the bag forward - meet it at the top of the lift.
• Stay tall through the hips; leaning back throws the bag over your shoulder.
• This is the rescue when the bag is too close for a foot. Learn it early and you drop less.
