retired...
I've trained to pull the head towards the attacking leg, but also away from it too. I actually prefer to pull the head away from the attacking leg because its much easier to dump your opponent to the canvas that way.
For instance, your opponent attempts a right knee strike, you pull his head to your right, but twist to your right also (clockwise). This will still take all the 'juice' off of his knee strike, but can also easily put him down.
If it doesn't put him down, you can either throw a right straight knee up into his torso, or a left curving knee into his now-exposed ribs.
