How To Knock Someone Out

By Droggio

Before telling how to knock someone out, I’d like to make a short, but very important disclaimer: never use the tips below unless you’re in a dangerous situation and something or someone threatens you or your life. Otherwise fighting is breaking the law with all the consequences.

Perhaps, you think that it’s hard to knock a person out with one punch, especially after watching sports like boxing or other kinds of martial arts on video. But you should understand that professional athletes fight in gloves and they know how to avoid knockout punches. That’s completely not the case in a street fight.

In real life you wear no gloves and your opponent in most cases would not know how to avoid the bop. But first of all you should know what your goal is. You’re not going to make a black or break the nose of your opponent; you need to make him lose his consciousness as the person still can hurt you if you don’t knock him out. That means that you should not only hit hard but also imply enough force on the opponent’s head for his brain to react in a required way.

Speed Is the Key for Knocking Someone Out

Your fist should move as rapidly as possible to cause enough movement of the head for the person to lose consciousness. Even if you are not able to hit hard, hit fast. With a fast and relatively hard punch you’ll have more chances to knock someone out than if you make a slow but more powerful punch.

Another important factor is unexpectedness. Your opponent should not see the punch coming, so that he doesn’t have time to tense the muscles of the neck, hence eliminating the strike’s power. The best time to punch is when his neck muscles are relaxed. That’s why ideally you should beat first, as your opponent would not expect that from you. If you see that the person is serious and the fight is inevitable, do not hesitate; beat first, because it’s very hard to knock a person out during fighting.

The Best Type of Punch for Knocking Out

The best type of strike is hook (a side punch), as it’s harder for neck muscles to react in time. A straight punch to the face is less effective, because the person will see it earlier than the hook. An uppercut is better than a straight strike, but it’s harder to perform.

As for the hook, the further from the neck you hit the better. Considering this the best place to hit is the end of the chin. To knock the person out you can also strike the temple. Both need some training, but are not hard to perform after a bit of practice.

A lot of people don't realize it doesn't take a HAYMAKER to knock someone out, but a well placed shot to the jaw or temple.

Quality, not brute force.

ive been in boxing for 6 years and my coach/grampa told me a hook isnt the ultimate punch a 1-2 combo works uppercuts can work wonders depending on ur height and of course crosses but never a hook but a overhand hook is for shorter fighters relied on leverage but wen u fight try side stepping instead of leaning back and wen u sidestep lean to the direction u leand to to fake ur opponent if the hook at u u may lean back but u might stumble if u side step quick enough ur opponent will stumble and u can do a 1-2 to the side of the head other wise known as the temple and if it doesnt work try again if they get rocked u are free to knee hook watever to look good in the fight stay low and stay unvulnerable keep ur chin down hands up and ready for an opening keep the sides of ur head protected wen u block palms to the forehead and wrists to the side of the face wen its a big haymaker hook block body with elbows keep the head moving and u will achieve victory hope this helpd out and sorry this was so long

I have been in numerous street fights and have knocked about 75% of the people I fight out in one punch. I always throw the first punch and I like to aim at the jaw slightly left or right of the chin. When I hit them I like to envision my fist hitting the back of the persons head, as in punching through they're face. It almost always works and thanks tp this technique I've never been seriously injurred and have been able to take on and win against three people at once. Speed is definatley the key as well as putting your entire body behind your fist.

man they call me tango cuz i got them hands and the best way to knock a person out is to hit either the chin or the jaw but if you are really afraid to fight this person aim for the throat but not hard and be the first to swing dont talk because you will want the element of suprise and what this will do is temperarly stun your opponent because he will grab his neck but be sure to aim cause if you miss you will have to get a good shot at that chin and he will want to knock you out to so be sure to tuck your chin and bob and weave

the key to a fight is more about how hard you can be hit without going down than how hard you hit

If u have to fight thats one thing , but wrecklessly trying to bang ppl out isnt a wise move .Think about what your doing and avoid fighting at all if possible,if they fall and hit their head and die your locked up for a long time, get in the boxing gym if your that hungry to fight,

PEACE jesus loves you !!!

Sup guys!

In self defence, I threw a punch with my shoulder into this other guys face. I am not a violent person, Heck I punch like a girl...But he was out cold. Hit him in the outer part of of his eye, close to the temple. Anyhow, this punk ass who started the fight chargerd me with assault!

Violence is not always the answer sadly!

If your quick witted enough and can make someone laugh it will take the fight right out of them. I've done this a couple of times and was amazed at how good it works. Just don't insult them for the laugh or it will totally back fire

Example: I told the guy ,man I don't want to fight I just put a clean pair of panties on.he started laughing his ass of and it defused the whole situation
