Renaissance and early modern European pikemen did sometimes kneel in the front rank, bracing their pikes against the ground. This has led to the assumption that other, earlier infantry did so, but often without evidence.

Greek hoplits, Macedonian phalangites, Roman legionaries - none of them seem to have knelt their front ranks. I think some of the combined arms infantry techniques of the Han may have involved kneeling, but my knowledge is thin on the ground on that point, so I could be wrong.

So did it happen at all? Yes. Was it common in a wide range of time periods? My sense is 'no.'
