“Those knees are like a third fist” - Fans react to Supergirl Jaroonsak’s piercing knee strike

ONE Championship Muay Thai marvel, Supergirl Jaroonsak, is one of the most dynamic and lethal strikers in the sport today. Her tall, lanky frame, coupled with the inhuman dexterity in her hips and legs, allows her to throw strikes that are uncommon even to hardcore specialists.

One such strike is Supergirl's piercing knee strike to the body that's practiced a lot by her and her sister, Wondergirl. Usually, a knee strike from the clinch would go on an upward, diagonal path to the midsection.

As for Supergirl Jaroonsak's knee strike, she lifts her knee high above her hipline then thrusts it forward in a straight line like a spear. Mechanically, it resembles a Muay Thai push kick but is thrown at a very short distance with the knee connecting instead of the foot.

ONE posted a video of her connecting it in the gym and in a live fight:

"From the gym to the Circle, those knees are piercing 😳 Can “Supergirl” bring Ekaterina Vandaryeva to her knees in their heated rematch on January 13 at ONE Fight Night 6? 👊 @supergirl_jaroonsakgym"

The effects of such a knee strike could be devastating. We've seen some world champions end fights with them. In the comments section, fans have been very vocal about how painful the knee strike looks at first glance.

Here are some of the comments:
