To knock someone unconscious, what part of the head is best to strike?

Question

Im writing a novel, so I want my scene to be accurate. It shall be very visceral with vivid imagery.

Answer 1

Kick him in the shins. Beleive me I knocked my bro out by doing this when he was 5years old.

Answer 2

A 'knife hand' as it's called, (the side of your hand opposite the thumb). You strike with full force at the side of the neck. This stops blood flow to the brain for only a fraction of a second, but it takes 10-15 seconds for the jugular to expand back to full diameter. Meanwhile, the reduction in oxygen to the brain is substantial enough to keep someone of average size unconscious for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. The larger the victim, the longer they will be out for. Hitting at the neck also causes more of a 'brain shake' than hitting the actual head itself. This will lead to a stronger shock to the brain and cause a concussion in most cases. Think of it like a tree: If you chop at the bottom, the whole thing shakes. The higher you chop at the truck, the less the tree will shake. Trust me, I am a Black Belt in a few disciplines and this is a universal move that works on the big and small alike.

Answer 3

i think you don't have to do it on the head. if you grab someone's shoulder and squeeze it hard enough they will  just drop. same with the back of the neck. i tried that with my sister once. ooops

Answer 4

First, you cannot drive the "nose bone" into the brain and kill someone- the nose is made of cartilage, not bone.
Secondly, most effective KO punch target is point of chin- that's why boxers tuck it in.
Thirdly, temple is a good target- check out Mike Tyson's fights- he loves to throw a quick hook to opponent's temple.  Additionally, checkout Cassius Clay vs Sonny Liston.  "Phantom Punch" to temple caused Liston to hit canvas like sack of Polish potatoes.

Answer 5
