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

[Kane Fan]

the easiest way for me to do it is with a throw onto concrete.. but its my technique that will knock him out not power..

i think the placement of a punch is what leads to a knockout and the power behind just increases the area where you can hit and get a knockout

also some people have a very very high tolerance for either getting knocked out or NOT getting knocked out. I dont know if its how there brain is wired or maybe their head is built different..


what area of the head is best to hit if going for a knockout?

I would say temple followed closely by jaw
but when someone lands on concreate from a throwyou cannot say there is no power there
that is quite an impact!

Has anyone on the board gotten KO'd with a liver shot? What is the mechanism behind a KO of that nature?

not exactly
but I once triped and as I was getting up a kid wsa running and slammed into my back and I blacked out very very breifly
less then 2 seconds
but I don't know the mechanism or anything just wanted to share

I was getting off the toilet one time and stood up into the hand towel machine (to the back of the skull) Almost hit the floor. So, my recomendation is to carry a hand towel machine at all times. When neccesary, skull krush the F**ker. Works for me.

I may already ahve responded to this but I was very VERY breifly out of it after a hit to my back
I dunno that it was a liver hit I think it was more upper back

I'm no expert, but I agree with BRR. Though I think some of it has to do with the person being hit. My buddy have a 5th of Jack broken over his face and he didn't even fall down let alone get knocked out. A lot of damage done to his face, but he still stood.

there is not much muscle in the jaw to withstand a blow.... put a quick strike to anyone's jaw and its light out partnah...
chokes are good but who the hell wants to roll around on the ground?.. if you're in a bad situation and there is no way to talk out of it, strike that jaw hard and fast and you'll be walking away not him... get under it though not down on it. puts the shizzle right to the core of the brain. Fighting is dumb though.. self protection is another thing.

Causing tissue damage to someone's face actually decreases the likelyhood of a knockout because the force is getting transferred to the skin instead of the brain

If you hit someone with and without boxing gloves, with the same force, the gloved hit will be more likely to put them out

That's why in a fight I'd probably go for an open-handed face strike instead of a fist -- no danger to your hand, no danger of fluid exchange, higher chance of a knockout due to distributed force

I hope to ko some people someday
but can you do it w/out really hurting them?
