Lets debate this... Just How Much does it Take to Knock somebody out? ? ?

Check this one out: http://216.40.244.4/highlights/15-BasRuttenLQ.zip

That was some great footage!

I definately need to check out more of his fights.

I really like that rolling kneebar he used against the ropes.. i wonder if he got the sub?

Is a punch to the head illegal there or just not preferred due to the lack of gloves? he was slapping people silly and it was really working!

I also really like how he switches from a roundhouse type kick to a front kick.

GREAT VID!!!!

Thanks Bro!

He was fighting in a league where it was disallowed to punch to the head, only to the body.

Bas Rutten is the man!

He Pwnoed Maurice Smith a couple of time... We all know Maurice aint no joke.

Hey Jacob... I though you was a Plat bro, what happened.

As we touched on in the sucker punch thread in chat,the most violent KO's don't necessarily come from the hardest IMPACT,but rather from target placement(side of chin,temple)and punching THROUGH it,which twists the head quickly.This actually causes the cranium to rotate slightly around the brain,which results in the CNS short circuiting.
Pay attention to a lot of the fighters that never go down,you'll notice that their chin usually is literally stuck on their chests,so it's very difficult for an opponent to get that shot in that jolts their cranium.
Good discussion BRR.

Nice post Huck.

Something happened? As far as I know I'm still Platinum. At least the banner below the signature tells me I am.

Hmmm... I don't know why it looked like you weren't. I guess I was mistaken.

What do you guys think? How easy is it to turn somebody's lights out? how much power is needed?

Some guys seem to think a ton of power is needed, I think that placement of the strike is key... what do you guys think?

both is true honestly

if you catch someone with a hook the side to side action of the head can provide a ko with relativly little force (you still have to be trying you are rarely going to ko someone with light contact it has to be a fairly solid hit but you don't need a haymaker to do it)

ifyou wanna score a KO with a straight punch on the other hand you will probubly need to use everything you have and catch them coming forward as well

I need absolutely no force.
I can put you to sleep easier than I can put on my socks.
Not with a strike - with about a dozen different chokes.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu RULES!

is it your contention then that you maintain the choke w/out any force at all?
you might not need any explosive power but you are still using some strength and effort to keep the hold on or they would just push you away
