I watched yours sir and I’ll have to look up some of the others to see how they’re doing it.

There are various types of indirect knapping. I came up with the "behind the knee" technique (or supported horizontal punch) but there are others:
shaft punch
unsupported horizontal punchenjoyed your videos, have made the set up as you used, just need to learn the basics of knapping. you guys make it look so easy and I know that it took hours upon hours and rocks upon rocks to get there. thanks for taking the time to do the videos for us. Jerry
rocker punch
vertical punch
palm punch
You can find these techniques on youtube although it might be hard to find them because they may not have that terminology in the description.
Some Youtube creators who use indirect:
