How to Land Devastating Knees in K-1 Kickboxing with Dean Sugden & Chad Sugden

Assisting in the demonstrations and coaching is former ISKA World Champion, K-1 veteran and professional boxer Chad Sugden, one of the UK's most accomplished combat sports athletes. This video focuses on: 🥊 Building knee attacks through combinations 🥊 Creating reactions before throwing the knee 🥊 K-1 style pressure fighting 🥊 Timing and distance management 🥊 Fight IQ and combination progression 🥊 Using knees effectively in sparring and competition Rather than teaching isolated techniques, Dean demonstrates how elite kickboxers construct sequences that naturally create openings for powerful knee strikes. 🏆 About Dean Sugden Dean Sugden is one of the UK's most respected striking coaches and a former World Kickboxing Champion with decades of coaching experience.
