How To Knock Someone Out Quickly

A quick knockout can be achieved when the brain is suddenly moved. As you read this now, your brain is floating in your head. It is still and balanced. But if your brain were to get rattled and hit the inside of your skull you most likely would be KO’d. The quickest way to knock someone out is to strike their jaw and rotate their head. The rapid rotation of the head will bounce the brain against the inner skull. A punch directly to the forehead or nose may inflict pain against your opponent, but it will not be as effective as a strike to the temple or jaw.

Steps for a quick knockout

1.) Are you tense? You shouldn’t be, you want a nice fluid body that is relaxed, but agile.

2.) Look at your feet. They should be hip-width apart. Knees slightly bent. With one foot in front and one foot back.

3.) Square up to your opponent. Make sure your shoulders are inline with his or hers.

4.) DO NOT THROW A HAYMAKER. By definition, the haymaker is a long, loopy punch where you “wind up.” It is time consuming leaving you very susceptible to getting knocked out yourself.

Instead, you want to throw a straight punch at a slight angle to catch your opponent in the jaw.

5.) This punch does not start in your arms, but in your legs. Begin to move your weight onto your back foot. This will be the brunt force. By pressing into your back foot, your body is building up potential energy for a devastating punch.

6.) Hold your arm by your hip. As you push forward and transfer your body weight you want the energy to go through your back, shoulders, and eventually out your fist. As you begin to punch keep your arm at shoulder level. You don’t want it winding out to the side.

7.) You should feel like you are being pushed forward. The momementum of your weight coming out your fist is very powerful.

8.) Aim for your opponents jaw or temple. The strike will accelerate the head causing a concussion.
