Say I have a double collar tie and throw my first knee. Are you saying after the first blocked strike, we drop the same knee into them without putting it down? Or are we doing an immediate switch knee? Not sure I understand this. Say I have a double collar tie and throw my first knee.

You come in with speed and attitude, but don't demolish your practice partner. I don't know if this advice helps or not.

If you are in range, then switching could be a weak spot. Just something to think about. Keith As to switching … think Bruce Lee … “Move with a purpose.” If it serves a purpose for you
