How Do Attack the Knee?

[TheMightyMcClaw]

That's a chasse bas, although some people call it a chasse ouvert because the knee opens to the outside rather than being brought to the opposite shoulder before the kick. Chasse just means a straight kick, as opposed to fouette which is round house.

I think I've heard that phrase before; thanks for the clarification.
Yes, that kick. Totally underused.

Legal? ****. I've seen people low kick the side of the knee, but I think that takes hard shins.

We really need a better name for that kick. One that's less french.

I've also heard it called a piston kick. Seemed like a good name to me.
