I personally believe this method is cruel. Kneeing an animal in the chest certainly DOES hurt, and that is why the stop jumping. It doesn't teach discipline. It teaches that they will be hurt if they jump on you. I don't think you want to hurt your dog.

Simply turning around when your dog jumps on you, ignoring him in every way, should make the jumping subside and stop altogether. The reason he jumps is he wants attention! He will learn he only gets attention if he is calm and doesn't jump.
