Prepare alias for the parent knox, or use instance_method-bind-call
hack.

class Parent
  def knox
    puts 'parent'
  end
  alias knox_parent
end

class Child < Parent
  def knox
    puts 'child'
  end
  def test
    knox_parent
    # -or-
    Parent.instance_method(:knox).bind(self).call
  end
end
