This is one I would definitely avoid. Imagine your adversary just dropped and wants to get back up. Instincts say to hit him on the top of his head with your fist. Know that you're taking a serious risk of getting your hand broken. Don\u2019t do this, especially if you are fighting multiple opponents. There is a lot of adrenaline involved, and you are just mowing as hard as you can. Smashing the top of his head can break your hand and kill your momentum in a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now everybody is saying, \u201cWhat? The nose is a great place to hit somebody!\u201d Yeah, but it\u2019s not a KO shot, and we are talking about a knockout, right? A nose shot will fill your eyes with water, but I have never seen a fighter lose because of one. In fact, if it\u2019s a professional fighter you\u2019re up against, I think he might get even angrier and come back harder.

If you saw the movie \u201cHard Times\u201d with Charles Bronson (which was about bareknuckle boxing<\/a>), you saw a guy who caught all the shots that his opponent aimed at his chin on his forehead.

In professional fighting, it\u2019s illegal to hit the back of the head. Imagine you have a Mohawk that runs down to your neck. You cannot hit where the Mohawk is, however just outside the Mohawk is still super effective (and legal). I have knocked out a whole bunch of people like that. The best punch for this is a clothesline or palm strike behind the ear. In general, fighters are trained to deal with impacts from the front and side of the face, not to the back of the head. It is a super effective punch, and they will not be ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In professional fighting, it\u2019s illegal to hit the back of the head. Imagine you have a Mohawk that runs down to your neck. You cannot hit where the Mohawk is, however just outside the Mohawk is still super effective (and legal). I have knocked out a whole bunch of people like that. The best punch for this is a clothesline or palm strike behind the ear. In general, fighters are trained to deal with impacts from the front and side of the face, not to the back of the head. It is a super effective punch, and they will not be ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where You Should NOT Hit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, there are a few places you shouldn't hit for a one punch knockout. Some will leave you doing more harm than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forehead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you saw the movie \u201cHard Times\u201d with Charles Bronson (which was about bareknuckle boxing<\/a>), you saw a guy who caught all the shots that his opponent aimed at his chin on his forehead. He would simply lean over with his head so that his \u201cchin\u201d became his \u201cforehead.\u201d Your forehead is super strong and the bones of a hand, in comparison, are weak. This means that most of the time, the forehead wins and the hand usually breaks. If you must punch someone here, hit with palm strikes, but even that is not recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now everybody is saying, \u201cWhat? The nose is a great place to hit somebody!\u201d Yeah, but it\u2019s not a KO shot, and we are talking about a knockout, right? A nose shot will fill your eyes with water, but I have never seen a fighter lose because of one. In fact, if it\u2019s a professional fighter you\u2019re up against, I think he might get even angrier and come back harder. So, on the street you can take the risk, but if that person is somebody who trains and competes I say, \u201cGo for a KO\u201d and find the knockout spots I discuss above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Top<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one I would definitely avoid. Imagine your adversary just dropped and wants to get back up. Instincts say to hit him on the top of his head with your fist. Know that you're taking a serious risk of getting your hand broken. Don\u2019t do this, especially if you are fighting multiple opponents. There is a lot of adrenaline involved, and you are just mowing as hard as you can. Smashing the top of his head can break your hand and kill your momentum in a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot hit where the Mohawk is, however just outside the Mohawk is still super effective (and legal). I have knocked out a whole bunch of people like that. The best punch for this is a clothesline or palm strike behind the ear. In general, fighters are trained to deal with impacts from the front and side of the face, not to the back of the head. It is a super effective punch, and they will not be ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where You Should NOT Hit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, there are a few places you shouldn't hit for a one punch knockout. Some will leave you doing more harm than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forehead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you saw the movie \u201cHard Times\u201d with Charles Bronson (which was about bareknuckle boxing<\/a>), you saw a guy who caught all the shots that his opponent aimed at his chin on his forehead. He would simply lean over with his head so that his \u201cchin\u201d became his \u201cforehead.\u201d Your forehead is super strong and the bones of a hand, in comparison, are weak. This means that most of the time, the forehead wins and the hand usually breaks. If you must punch someone here, hit with palm strikes, but even that is not recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now everybody is saying, \u201cWhat? The nose is a great place to hit somebody!\u201d Yeah, but it\u2019s not a KO shot, and we are talking about a knockout, right? A nose shot will fill your eyes with water, but I have never seen a fighter lose because of one. In fact, if it\u2019s a professional fighter you\u2019re up against, I think he might get even angrier and come back harder. So, on the street you can take the risk, but if that person is somebody who trains and competes I say, \u201cGo for a KO\u201d and find the knockout spots I discuss above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Top<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one I would definitely avoid. Imagine your adversary just dropped and wants to get back up. Instincts say to hit him on the top of his head with your fist. Know that you're taking a serious risk of getting your hand broken. Don\u2019t do this, especially if you are fighting multiple opponents. There is a lot of adrenaline involved, and you are just mowing as hard as you can. Smashing the top of his head can break your hand and kill your momentum in a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most people will throw a hard jab and hit someone on the front of the chin. Clearly, it\u2019s a good shot that usually works. In this case, hit the chin at an angle so that the head snaps to the side. A hook or uppercut are really preferred and will shake up the brain even more. Do it right and there is a good chance the synapses in the brain will disconnect. The end result is your desired KO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best punch for this is a clothesline or palm strike behind the ear. In general, fighters are trained to deal with impacts from the front and side of the face, not to the back of the head. It is a super effective punch, and they will not be ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you saw the movie \u201cHard Times\u201d with Charles Bronson (which was about bareknuckle boxing<\/a>), you saw a guy who caught all the shots that his opponent aimed at his chin on his forehead. He would simply lean over with his head so that his \u201cchin\u201d became his \u201cforehead.\u201d Your forehead is super strong and the bones of a hand, in comparison, are weak. This means that most of the time, the forehead wins and the hand usually breaks. If you must punch someone here, hit with palm strikes, but even that is not recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now everybody is saying, \u201cWhat? The nose is a great place to hit somebody!\u201d Yeah, but it\u2019s not a KO shot, and we are talking about a knockout, right? A nose shot will fill your eyes with water, but I have never seen a fighter lose because of one. In fact, if it\u2019s a professional fighter you\u2019re up against, I think he might get even angrier and come back harder. So, on the street you can take the risk, but if that person is somebody who trains and competes I say, \u201cGo for a KO\u201d and find the knockout spots I discuss above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one I would definitely avoid. Imagine your adversary just dropped and wants to get back up. Instincts say to hit him on the top of his head with your fist.

You know, the type of fight you dominate with a one punch knockout! When you mix alcohol and testosterone, someone in the room is going to end up on the floor.

Let\u2019s find out so you can get back to that J\u00e4gerbomb you just ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where You Should Hit for a One Punch Knockout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three places you should aim for if the one punch knockout is your goal. Here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most people will throw a hard jab and hit someone on the front of the chin. Clearly, it\u2019s a good shot that usually works. In this case, hit the chin at an angle so that the head snaps to the side. A hook or uppercut are really preferred and will shake up the brain even more. Do it right and there is a good chance the synapses in the brain will disconnect. The end result is your desired KO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trigeminal Nerve (aka the 5th\u00a0Cranial Nerve)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This nerve connects at the \u201ctemple of your skull.\" You know, the spot where you rub yourself when you have a hangover. Getting whacked here resets the brain and usually turns out the lights. Ideally, you can hit those spots (one on each side) with a hook, overhand right, back fist, palm strike (thrown at an angle), roundhouse kick or spinning back kick to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back of the Grape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In professional fighting, it\u2019s illegal to hit the back of the head. Imagine you have a Mohawk that runs down to your neck.

Our goal when we go out on a Saturday night is to have a good time. In the same vein, who doesn\u2019t like to add a good bar brawl? You know, the type of fight you dominate with a one punch knockout! When you mix alcohol and testosterone, someone in the room is going to end up on the floor. We all live by the old adage, \u201cBetter them than you.\" So, what are the best places on a head to knock somebody out? Let\u2019s find out so you can get back to that J\u00e4gerbomb you just ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where You Should Hit for a One Punch Knockout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three places you should aim for if the one punch knockout is your goal. Here they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most people will throw a hard jab and hit someone on the front of the chin. Clearly, it\u2019s a good shot that usually works. In this case, hit the chin at an angle so that the head snaps to the side. A hook or uppercut are really preferred and will shake up the brain even more. Do it right and there is a good chance the synapses in the brain will disconnect. The end result is your desired KO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trigeminal Nerve (aka the 5th\u00a0Cranial Nerve)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This nerve connects at the \u201ctemple of your skull.\" You know, the spot where you rub yourself when you have a hangover. Getting whacked here resets the brain and usually turns out the lights. Ideally, you can hit those spots (one on each side) with a hook, overhand right, back fist, palm strike (thrown at an angle), roundhouse kick or spinning back kick to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back of the Grape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"One<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In professional fighting, it\u2019s illegal to hit the back of the head. Imagine you have a Mohawk that runs down to your neck. You cannot hit where the Mohawk is, however just outside the Mohawk is still super effective (and legal). I have knocked out a whole bunch of people like that. The best punch for this is a clothesline or palm strike behind the ear. In general, fighters are trained to deal with impacts from the front and side of the face, not to the back of the head. It is a super effective punch, and they will not be ready for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where You Should NOT Hit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, there are a few places you shouldn't hit for a one punch knockout. Some will leave you doing more harm than good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forehead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you saw the movie \u201cHard Times\u201d with Charles Bronson (which was about bareknuckle boxing<\/a>), you saw a guy who caught all the shots that his opponent aimed at his chin on his forehead. He would simply lean over with his head so that his \u201cchin\u201d became his \u201cforehead.\u201d Your forehead is super strong and the bones of a hand, in comparison, are weak. This means that most of the time, the forehead wins and the hand usually breaks. If you must punch someone here, hit with palm strikes, but even that is not recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now everybody is saying, \u201cWhat? The nose is a great place to hit somebody!\u201d Yeah, but it\u2019s not a KO shot, and we are talking about a knockout, right? A nose shot will fill your eyes with water, but I have never seen a fighter lose because of one. In fact, if it\u2019s a professional fighter you\u2019re up against, I think he might get even angrier and come back harder. So, on the street you can take the risk, but if that person is somebody who trains and competes I say, \u201cGo for a KO\u201d and find the knockout spots I discuss above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the Head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Top<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is one I would definitely avoid. Imagine your adversary just dropped and wants to get back up. Instincts say to hit him on the top of his head with your fist. Know that you're taking a serious risk of getting your hand broken. Don\u2019t do this, especially if you are fighting multiple opponents. There is a lot of adrenaline involved, and you are just mowing as hard as you can. Smashing the top of his head can break your hand and kill your momentum in a fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheriff Foster finally came across them in Young County as they tried to cross a river. Another gunfight ensued, and all three of the robbers left were hit and wounded. However, they continued to try to escape until they finally were caught, and this time, they did not put up a fight. Law enforcement had pulled all the stops, including an airplane, to help look for the criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The men were trialed, and Robert Hill was sentenced to 99 years. During his prison time<\/a>, he attempted to escape three times but was caught each time. He was paroled, however, after only serving about ten years. He went off into the sunset, changing his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Henry Helms had shot and killed the law enforcement officers, he received the death penalty and was executed in 1929. Marshall Ratliff was also sentenced to 99 years until it was found out he also had a hand in the deaths of law enforcement officers. He attempted to avoid the death penalty by appealing his case, pleading insanity, and escaping. However, a mob found him and hung him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of it all, they had killed and wounded several people, they had taken and let go several hostages, they had lost some of their own, and had no money to show for it.
