Okay, wait..what is this pass called again? Knee-cut pass or knee-slice pass?!?
Whatever way you “slice” it (see what I did there?), the knee-through-the-middle pass is one of the most powerful passes from white belt all the way up to the Black Belt World Championships
I have compiled a list of my favorite knee-slice pass videos. Each of the videos shares certain principles, but each offers slight variations and different details.
