Punched in the abs?

Question

Who do u know or have seen with visible abs take a punch to the abs, and what were there reactions

Answer 1

almost everyone who works out routinely can take a punch on the abs, the trick is if you want to punch someone and take their air out punch just below the sternum "the mouth of the stomach" everyone will feel that one.

Answer 2

Karate masters have taken punches to the abs and the obliques with no obvious response, pain or discomfort. Karate masters could also withstand a punch like the one the second poster describes.
