where would i have to punch someone to knock them out?

Answer 1

Most KOs occur when there is a trauma to the brain stem, most often by sharp rotation of the head.

Hitting someone in the chin is a good way to cause this trauma, as a cross, a hook, or even a jab can cause quick rotation. In fact is is one of the easier ways to knock someone out as it requires less power. Often called a "Flash" knockout, because it is a quick simple movement that drops a guy instantly. This is where most 1 punch KO occur from.

Another is by simple powerful shot, or repeated powerful shots to the head that can cause a concussion and render unconsciousness. This requires a little more power, and a higher risk of injuring your hand on the thick bones of the skull.

Keep in mind the rotation does not have to be horizontal only. (Side to side as if looking from right to left) you can cause a hard rotation on a vertical or diagnal plane (such as tilting your head towards your shoulder) so a hard shot to the side of the head can cause this same type of rotation. (Often seen by kicks).

The truth is forget all the precise spots people tell you, 2 inches between the taint and the solar plexus or right between the ear and the mandible etc,.etc.

First, you (and hardly anyone) is going to have the accuracy to land a blow in a specific spot against a restisting moving target, no matter how long you practice. (Boxers spend their whole training trying to develop that kind of accuracy).

Second, many of these spots aren't the causing the knockouts as much as the rotation to the head from a blow, or a concussion is.

The temple is slight softer, and an indention, it allows a closer access to apply trauma to the brain, but is not the potentially fatal fight ender people think it is. (I have been hit HARD in the temple plenty of times).

You want a target, go for the face period. Avoid the sides of the head as you are more likely to either miss completely (as a person moves) or hit hard, thick skull. Which is much harder and denser then the small bones in your hands.

You want a more specific target, aim for the chin. If a person drops, it hits the nose, if they flinch back it hits the neck, if they move sideways it hits the jawline. Aim for the chin, wail away with all you got.

Without training, that is really your best shot anyway. And all this malarky people tell you will fly out the window the second you get punched in the face anyway, instinct will take over and you will go from there.

You want to K.O. someone, go for the chin period. Either way it is going to hurt him.

But 95% of your one punch KOs, come from flash knockouts from hitting the button (the chin).

Good luck...

Answer 2

Knock outs come usually when you hit the person in the jaw and cheek area. There is a nerve in that area of your face that runs directly up to your brain and when your face is struck hard it causes the brain to shut down. The other area that will sometimes cause a knock out is the head area-especially the lower, back of the head. The sides, top, front of the skull are much thicker than the lower back of the skull hence the reason for no rabbit punches to the back of the head and neck in boxing or MMA. Knockouts from blows to the head sometimes don't cause a person to lose consciousness completely like a knockout to the facial area does but rather a disorientation, lack of balance, and lack of focus.

Answer 3

Back of the head 3lbs pressure with just two knuckles to the area just above C1. instant KO. Why do you think people always go for the back of the head, its softer than the front.

the temple I heard mentioned, thats a much more dangerous place to strike and can cause far too much damage plus its a smaller target making it harder to hit than the back of the head. I do not suggest the temple unless you want to kill someone.

You can also get a similiar affect if you hit someone in the gut just as they are breathing in, knocks the wind out of them. That is a timing strike wathching their breathing. WHen you see them exhale you strike and when you connect it knocks the wind right out of them and usually down for the count.

Those are a just a few ways for you.

Answer 4

Striking someonse in the area of the back, the head, or the neck can result in knocking someone out however it may cause other problems to such as paralysis maybe even death if you know what you are doing.

Answer 5

generally the head thats why you just keep hitting the head. but to be more specific

number one best spot (for a real fight) its the back of the head

number two best spot is the chin (for tournaments which allow you to strike to the head). uppercuts or wicked hooks should do the trick.

Answer 6

Square on the side of the jaw between the tip of the chin and the cheek

Answer 7

temple;squares of jaw;or to Peirce the lungs right in the center of the ribcage

Answer 8

on the chin....thats why in boxing and in mma they call that spot "the button" either by a hook, to the side of the jaw, or straight on with a jab or straight right.

thats why in your boxing stance, you keep your right hand next to your chin...so you protect yourself from being koed by a hook.

Answer 9

There are a lot of places, most of which can also be fatal. This is not something to be discussed on this forum.

Answer 10

You have to hit them in between the ear and the eye, there's a soft spot there. If you hit someone there for sure you'll knock someone out.
