the straight knee (also known as a front knee) is a typical knee strike, and involves thrusting the front of the knee into the head or body of an opponent. the straight knee can be applied from a stand-up position both when the combatants are separated, or when they are clinching. a particularly effective clinching position for throwing front knee is the double collar tie, where the head of the opponent is controlled. on the ground, front knees can be effective from a few top positions such as the side control and north-south position. typical targets for the front knee include the head, hips, ribs, solar plexus, stomach and thighs. in muay thai, a double collar tie with a front knee to the face was traditionally called "hak kor aiyara". the groin is widely considered the key target for knee strikes and clinch knee attacks in a street fight according to karate, tae kwon do, muay thai, and many other martial arts.
