Oxymoron alert! Oxymoron alert! LOL.
I am assuming the OP is referring to the Wide Kneel, which would be the 'higher' of the two (by knee to ground height). Wide kneel is a collapsed Neutral Bow. Uses are many, from avoiding strikes, to setting up other strikes, pinning/checking the opponent, etc.

I have been in martial arts since 1966. Black belt in Tracy and Ed Parker. I have taught a form of American Kenpo for many years. The high kneel is one of the best weapons of American Kenpo.
High kneel uses:
1-For power, torquing.
2-For turning away and delivering a hammer fist to the groin
3- For buckling the leg and knee, from back and front
4-For turning your body to the side to evade a frontal punch
5- For power in downward strikes, sword to neck, etc.
There’s probably more, but that’s all I can think of.

The high kneel allows me to tore and apply more force to my strike. Also it allows me to evade a strike. There's more, but these are the two that come to mind.How many purposes does the high kneel have?
I'm not sure if you're aware since the original post is from 14 years ago. But the person asking the question was yourself, and you also answered around 6 years later (8 years ago). Again, legitimately not sure if you're aware considering the amount of time that's been past, I've probably done the same, but it may be useful in the future to look at the name of the OP and the date.The high kneel allows me to tore and apply more force to my strike.

Oh, if I could, I'd go back to my 20 year old self and tell him to stop smoking and join the judo club on base.Yeah I am very puzzled.. !
Or is it like a Biff situation (Back to the Future), going back and talking to his younger self.....
