Knockout Off Balancing

Knock out blows occur in boxing because the brain "floats" around in the head and is then traumatised by being compressed against the back of the skull. Driving a palm heel strike to the jaw will have this same kind of impact under the right circumstances.

Understanding which direction to hit the jaw in and where the bodies balance is broken creates this type of circumstance. At the least the person will thrown to the ground, thus giving you time to escape.

In this example, my son, D'Arcy Rahming Jr., (Okuiri) 2nd degree Black Belt demonstrates this concept against a knife slash to the face. He knocks the adversary down from three different positions that set up different balance points.

1) Attacker with body square,
2) Attacker right foot forward and
3) Attacker left foot forward.

This video assumes that you have the understanding of striking palm heel to the face and the eight points of unbalance so  check out the clip below for the first part of this lesson or go to the following YouTube link.
