I've never punched someone--where would I punch them for a knockout?

Question

Hi, I was wonder: if I were to sucker-punch someone in the head, where should I try and land it? I think the temple would be dangerous as you could end up killing someone. Would a shot to the jaw knock them out? Or perhaps an eye-socket is better.

I was just wondering in case I ever come across a terrorist or something and have to punch 'em.

Answer 1

Aim for the chin and go upwards

Answer 2

With enough force anywhere in the head to be knocked out your brain has to basically short circuit and to do that you have to generate enough force to make the brain slap against the skull that is what causes a K.O.

Answer 3

Sucker punching someone is not a noble gesture.

Answer 4

First of all if its a terrorist you shouldn't care about killing them. Next a blow to the temple would only kill someone if they took repeated blows to the head over years and you had god given punching power. Chances are you don't. If you want to give a quick hit and run away go for the balls and kick. But if you really want it to be a punch go for the kidney or nose. The nose is the easiest part of the body to break and your opponents eyes will water up distracting him. A kidney punch would knock the wind out of him and send him to the ground.

Answer 5

Well, if you're going to sucker-punch them, do it to the back of the head. They'll be more likely to go unconscious that way than if you punch them in the forehead.

Be careful!

Answer 6

i love the fact u said in case of a terrorist at the end lmao. idk i feel sucker punching is kind of cowardly but what we usually do is insted of reling on one punch we throw alot. try this combo my trainer taught me.  

punch (to distract em)

upper cut( with right arm to get their chins and heads up and to throw off the equilibrium)

straight right hand( to knock em back and maybe bust the nose)

left hook(to destroy the jaw and equilibrium)

and straight right again ( the hardest straight right to finish em off)

sorry i said it like dat but im used to boxing its all i know

Answer 7

If you come across a terrorist, you snap his neck if you can't find a weapon.  Otherwise bludgeon him to death with whatever's available.  You don't want a terrorist surviving your assault because they'll access our legal system and be out committing atrocities in 6 months.

How about you take a martial art and learn a few things about fighting instead of suckerpunching someone?
