  • Knock Out!

    what are places the best places to hit when u wanna knock someone out?? punches and kicks, standing up or in the guard/mount

    Tip of the chin, side of the jaw. Ideally, you want to hit with power at a 45 degree angle. The classic KO spot is:

    Take your finger and place it at the corner of your mouth. Trace directly down your face to a place just outside the tip of the chin. There you go.

            and the chin is the best spot, when you get hit real hard by it (with gloves on), for the people who have good balance and can take hits good. you'll still feel a big effect, and if your fighting an experienced fighter your screwed. its like your vision is just being thrown around so you cant concentrate for a few seconds, like its knocking the thoughts out of you. its better then weed. the nose is a good hit too, just hit it straight on(?) with alot of power, it gives some of the same effects as being hit in the chim, plus instant pain.

              What's your problem? There's no magic about it. Hitting that spot with power causes a whiplash effect that bounces the brain around the skull. This often results in a knockout.

              where would the corner of your mouth be?
              Dude, if you don't know where the corners of your mouth are, there's no helping you.

                Hmm I think he thought you were saying that all you have to do is poke the chin to knock him out. (He assumed you were saying some ninjitsu BS?)

                  He wasn't.

                  Peter Consterdin is a British Martial Artist. One of his techniques is called the "Power Slap". It is thrown a little like a hook punch, but you connect into his cheek/side of face area with your open hand. He reckons that this sends so many messages to your central nervous system that it just shuts down, hence causes knock out.

                  There are also documented cases of an edge of hand blow (think Karate chop!) to the side of the neck. This hits the vagus nerve and switches you off like a light though, apprently, only for a few moments. But that would be enough. The downside isd that, if you hit the front of the throat, you will switch him off forever.

                        Grubby. My post had nothing whatsoever to do with pressure points. Everyone knows that some places on the body are more susceptible to strikes than others, but pressure points involves pressing "magic" areas, like the Vulcan Death Grip. I distance myself from that nonsense.

                        retired. Actually I have a version that I call the "Brit Slap". All my very own.

                          Don't confuse pressure points with dim mak chi stuff bri.


                          Pressure points are generally areas of nerves close to the surface that can be effected by touch pressure and strikes.

                          The hit to the neck hits the Vagus nerve and the Brachial nerve and is called the brachial plexus origin. That same nerve runs into the area on the chest right were the shoulder attatches. That is called the Brachial plexus tie in. It not magic. You hit a nerve and it disrupts function, or sends pain signals to the brain.

                          Radial nerve in the arm is a series of pressure points.

                          Thai kicks to the thigh hit the common peroneal. Also a nerve and a pressure point.

                          Some systems call them nerve strikes rather than pressure points but it the same thing.


                          Dim mak on the other hand says if you touch areas on chi meridians that you will disrupt chi flow and damage or kill your opponent.

                          Big difference.


                          Pressure points are generally for pain compliance or destructions, mental stuns (distractions) or simply to take away function so that you may apply a technique easier.

                              I suppose its down t how you define the terms. I know alot of people put off by the term "pressure points". Again they (and I) associate it with Mr Spock. To me Dim Mak is just a fancier name for it.

                              But I agree totally about good targets. You say pressure points, I say good targets.......
