| Jun 22, 2015 at 4:44 | comment | added | Chan-Ho Suh | The Quora post being quoted confuses rotational acceleration of the head with rotational acceleration of the blow. Every good boxer knows that you don't want to throw a "roundhouse"/swing. You want a tight, "translational" punch. Note even a properly done hook is a translational blow, it's just that it hits from the side and the arm is bent, so to the layman it looks like a swing. Boxers knock people out with a straight right. It's really about the angle of attack, does it hit to the side of jaw or not? | |
| Jun 21, 2015 at 11:40 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | I know you're quoting this and that you didn't write it yourself but 3 times less energy reminds me of what my father says: if the initial energy is 100 Kj then three times less than that is 100 Kj - 300 Kj = -200 Kj, which is obviously nonsensical. What they really mean is the less punchy(!) one third of the energy. | |

I would suggest the upper part of the jaw bone or the temple. I would suggest not doing something like that at all if you value your freedom; knocking someone out without also causing death or serious, permanent injury is a lot harder than movies make it look!
