Super Knee Uppercut is a diving knee attack used by Tien Shinhan in Dragon Ball.

OverviewEdit

First, Tien flies high into the air, and as he descends back down to the ground at a high speed, he breaks his opponent's leg with his knee, causing an extreme amount of damage.

Tien uses his attack to brutally finish off his fight against Yamcha in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament by breaking his leg while Yamcha is unconscious.

Piccolo Jr. uses an attack very similar to break the two Goku's legs during the final fight of the 23nd World Martial Arts Tournament. However, different of the Tien's version, Piccolo uses the two knees instead of a only, therefore, this turns possible the objective of break the two legs of his opponents.

Appearances in Video GamesEdit

Super Knee Uppercut was named in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, where Tien finishes the attack with an uppercut to the opponent's somach.
