Knee Cut

What it is

A top guard-passing position where the passer's lead knee is sliced diagonally across the bottom player's near thigh toward the far hip, with the rear leg posted wide for base. Chest connection through a near-side underhook and crossface keeps the bottom player flattened while forward-and-down hip pressure shears past the leg line. The bottom player frames with a knee shield and contests the underhook to stall the cut before the knee reaches the mat.
