Is it possible to kill someone if...?

Question

...you hit them really hard with the top of your fingers and your palm open in the area over the belly and betwin the b*****s where the skeleton has something like a hole?? ( I don't know how this area is called)

Answer 1

You mean the area just below the sternum?

If your fingers have been conditioned at the shaolin temple in China, then yeah, it is possible.  Unethical former monks in days past in China used to do that all the time, and I know some triads knowledgeable in Kung Fu have been known to kill people doing that.

You can't just hit them though; you would have to outright pierce the flesh, and the area above the abdominal muscles, but below the sternum, has almost no protection at all.  All it is is skin and tissue, so, with well conditioned fingers it is possible to stab someone there.

As far as striking that is, I believe, the intersection of the bronchial tubes.  The lungs I know, are connected, and where they are connected, that is the bronchial tubes, they meet in the area just beneath the sternum.  If you struck with enough force, or if you ran your fingers into that area, the person would die in 5 minutes, and there would be no way to save them.

Do not take Chinese martial arts lightly.

Answer 2

You probably could, if you were a complete beast. But more that likely, you'd just knock the wind out of them and bruise their sternum.

Answer 3

That hole that ur talking about is a pressure point in the center of chest. If u continuously keep doing it with the right amount of power then yea u can kill them. But it is a forbidden technique didnt u know.

Answer 4

supposedly you can break the tip of the sternum and drive it into the heart or lungs, but the amount of force and precision is ridiculous.  if it's even true.  Much easier to hit the throat.

Answer 5

According to the video game Jade Empire: yes.

:-)

Answer 6

the area I believe you are refering to is called your xiphoid process.  It is at the bottom of your sternum right above your diaphram.  You also have whats called a sternal notch which is the hole at the top of your sternum right below your neck.   Yes, you can kill someone by striking them in either one of these general areas.  It is called Commotio Corois.  By striking someone in their chest is causes this.  What happens is when your heart is in ventricular repolarization and it gets struck at this time it causes the heart to go into a leathal arythmia like VFib, pulseless VTach, or Asystole.  Ventrucular Repolarization is the time right after your ventricals beat and right before your heart starts its next beat.  There have been sports incidents in which a player has been struck in the chest by a baseball or hockey puck and this has occured.

Answer 7

yes you could. it would be the same as doing chest compressions(CPR) on someone who's heart is still beating.

Answer 8

if u were a beast lol but ya prbbly

Answer 9

I believe the are you are talking about, just below the rib cage, is the diaphram.  More than likely not going to kill someone. knock the wind out of them maybe.
