Powerful Knee Strike Tips

Here is some advice from Angelo, from Las Vegas, NV. If you want to improve your knee strikes in full contact fighting, then these 2 tips are the beginning to the ultimate set-up.

Just to start it off, Angelo just bought his 4th set of Iron Boots!

Of course, he uses a variety of bags and pads for striking. However, he has his pure strength training as well, for which the Iron Boots are tops on his list. He has them semi-permanently put together for a variety uses.

Tip #1: Use the Heavy Duty Straps.

The Heavy Duty Straps can be tightened down harder and the cam type buckle is easier to adjust. The extra width of the strap feels better as well. Here is the link:

Tip #2: Use the Allen Collars instead of a Wrenchless Screw Type Collar.

The Allen Collars hold better and take up less room on the bars. Depending on the brand of plates you are actually using the smaller size can allow you to put a little more weight on the bars, even the Short Bars. The Allen Collars also don't get caught on your clothing the way a wrenchless screw rod will.

I hope this helps answer some of your Iron Boot questions. Let Angelo's experiences work for you.

Live strong,
