Joelhada is a knee strike of the old Carioca.
However, this is not just a simple knee lift, as seen in other martial arts! This is a quite complicated technique, mechanics-wise.
-
It is thrown in a slightly curved way, using Monkey+LightLegs+Seduction1 mechanics.
The opponent is in front of you. Equip LightLegs; and use Monkey+Seduction1 to throw a slightly hopping, inward curving strike with the tip of your knee into his bladder.
This is a high-energy point("Haaaa!").
This is an organ crusher(bladder); if it hits, it also takes the opponent down.
-
You must use the correct mechanics and trajectory to throw a proper Joelhada.
-
As with Pontape, this is a dangerous strike; you can seriously hurt the opponent.
-
Joelhada is usually used as a guard-breaker; ie against opponent's on-guard stance.
-
If the opponent is bent over, you can also strike his head with Joelhada. This is a knockout strike (if you use the proper mechanics and vocalization).
