“Knee ride”? Yes, knee ride. If you aren’t doing it, you’re not one of the cool kids in Jiu-Jitsu.
Knee on Belly (KOB), sometimes known as the knee ride, is a premier controlling position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The body position is somewhat similar to side control, where you stay on your opponent’s side, but you place your knee next to your opponent’s belly.
The main difference from side control, though, is that you will be able to push your opponent’s leg away and stand up while keeping their limbs isolated. This makes it an excellent guard passing position as well as a good way of finishing someone off if they are already hurt or tired. Today we’ll talk about the knee on belly and all its intricate details.
Seriously though – in no-gi, it’s a fantastic way to transition to other, more advantageous positions.
Here’s a sneak peek in how to use it, as demonstrated by Craig Jones on the video below:
