Knee on Belly (KOB), sometimes known as the knee ride, is a premier controlling position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The body position is somewhat similar to side control, where you stay on your opponent’s side, but you place your knee next to your opponent’s belly.

The main difference from side control, though, is that you will be able to push your opponent’s leg away and stand up while keeping their limbs isolated. This makes it an excellent guard passing position as well as a good way of finishing someone off if they are already hurt or tired. Today we’ll talk about the knee on belly and all its intricate details.

There are not a lot of things that feel better in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu than being given that one piece of advice… That makes you realize things you’ve never taken into consideration and that elevates your entire game.
For instance, if you learn the importance of the knee, then you’ll improve by leaps and bounds almost immediately! Roy Harris demonstrates on the video below:
