stomach punch = instant knockout???

[anonymous_BMN]

I think this is a good question to ask the experts. Apparently, hitting someone in the stomach can make them lose consciousness. It's a move that's often used in movies related to martial arts. How is this done?

Edit: I'm not looking to know how this move is faked.

well actor 1 punches actor 2 in the stomach and actor 2 pretends to fall unconscious.

[Garland]

Don't listen to ghost...










I'm actually sure that the blocking is a bit more complicated than that. You really have to "sell it". g'Naw what I mean, my ninja?

[Caveman]

Uhm, well,you could aim for the solar plexus.It knocks the breath outta you. I got hit there once, then i accidently hit a friend there, he doubled over. But movies are fake my friend.

The secret is that before you hit them you have to do some serious tough guy posturing. You can't mess around with this, otherwise the technique will NOT work...but you do have to take some precautions, otherwise people will think you're gay.

First, you need to get in the other guy's face. You need to stand so close that your noses should almost be touching. If they touch, or if you tongue kiss, it's gay.
Second, you have to glare intensely into the other guy's eyes. Make sure you're glaring and not gazing, otherwise it's gay.
Third, you have to frown. On second thought you should probably make it a scowl just to be safe because if you lose your nerve or get confused while trying to frown you might accidentally end up pouting, and that'd be seriously gay.

A secret trick most of the pros won't tell you about is to cock your head to the side and puff out your chest (remember, no touching!) This makes the technique about twice as effective, but it's risky because if you mess up any of the steps from above it will make you look REALLY gay.

After attaining a supreme posturing stance, you should say something smarmy like "stay away from my girl" or "you wanna go?" Here's another area to watch out for mistakes. If you say "stay away from my guy" or "you wanna go out?" the technique will not work and people will think you're gay.

OK, phew! That was a lot of work, but it's about to pay off! Go ahead and let 'er rip! By this point your posturing should be so powerful that a quick short punch to the stomach will render your hapless foe unconscious for at least 2 minutes. Make sure to spit on your opponent or kick them in the ribs before smugly walking away with your hot cheerleader girlfriend on your arm. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because your victim will likely be coming back for you at the local karate tournament after studying with an elderly Japanese master and becoming a black belt in only 3 days.

Be sure to be easy on the target, it's quite a deadly punch.

[JKDBrando]

I haven't seen anyone go unconcous of a gut punch maybe wind knocked out of them. Do plenty of sit up and medicine ball trainning you won't need to worry about it.

A solid strike to the midsection won't knock a guy out. It'll thump him and seem like nothing happens but in a second (or two) he'll double over and maybe even drop to one knee if you've got all your body behind it.

Targets?

Hit the solar plexus (the area about 2" below the middle of the rib cage), kidneys (lower right sides of the abs and to the back), the area right below the belly button as well.

Just thought I'd mention the liver as well. A solid blow to the liver is worse than getting hit in the balls IMO. Last time I sparred against Josh Odom of the IFL he hit me with a liver shot and I thought nothing happened for a second. Next thing I know I crumpled to the floor and I can hardly breathe. Everything is woozy and I'm nauseous as hell. Just talking becomes hard and it's impossible to stand on your legs for the next couple minutes.

[fire cobra]

Yeah the liver shots a good en,you think your ok till you put your weight forward and then...down you go!.
