How to Achieve a Ground Fight KNOCKOUT!

In a real street fight, the vast major­ity of knock­out blows are deliv­ered at a time when you’re stand­ing on your feet and in a posi­tion to throw a pow­er­ful punch.

But we all know that most fights end up on the ground, right?

Unfor­tu­nately, when you’re in a ground fight, the rules tend to change when it comes to knock­out blows since those vul­ner­a­ble tar­gets are largely out of reach when you have a sasquatch-sized mutant gang­banger sit­ting on your chest wail­ing away.

Does that mean that you can’t knock some­one out in a ground fight?

Well, not if you know this “hid­den target”…

Secret Tar­get To Knock Some­one Out In A Ground Fight

This lit­tle secret I’m about to reveal con­cerns a part of the body which is often over­looked, and yet it pro­vides you with an ideal oppor­tu­nity for a knock­out in a ground fight.

The area in ques­tion is actu­ally a pres­sure point located at the back of the head near the hair­line, approx­i­mately mid­way between the ear and the spine.

This pres­sure point is located on both sides of the spine, mean­ing you actu­ally have two targets.

Now a word of warn­ing here…

This pres­sure point tar­get is an area you should only ever do in a self defense sit­u­a­tion because not only can it result in a knock­out in one punch, but, if deliv­ered with suf­fi­cient force, it could result in a fatality.

How To Hit This Ground Fight Knock­out Target

Hav­ing your attacker strad­dled on top of you in a ground-and-pound is espe­cially dan­ger­ous.  Not only will you find it nearly impos­si­ble to gain posi­tion for a pow­er­ful strike of your own, but you only have a few sec­onds before he pul­ver­izes you with his fists or his bud­dies begin stomp­ing on your head.

In order to reach your knock­out tar­get, act fast and with both hands, grab hold of his shirt as high as pos­si­ble or dig your fin­gers into his clavicle.

Now, drag your attacker down to your body while reach­ing up along the cen­ter of his body with either one of your arms.

Your goal is to get your arm over his shoul­der on the same side as the arm you are using.

Then, as you pull him closer with your other arm, you’ll have unob­structed access to your target.

Unfor­tu­nately, most peo­ple sim­ply start punch­ing their opponent’s back at this point, but of course such actions will be futile, con­sid­er­ing the back is full of muscle.

When your oppo­nent is on top of you, and he’s in the midst of deliv­er­ing pow­er­ful punches, you sim­ply don’t have time to waste on inef­fec­tive self defense techniques.

Instead of lying there tak­ing more pun­ish­ment, seize your oppor­tu­nity to strike the tar­get area and end the fight.

To do this, you need to slam the heel of your hand onto the pres­sure point knock­out tar­get with as much force as you can muster.

(Yes, I know I said this could be a death blow, but chances are slim and if you’re get­ting pounded on the ground, it’s arguably a life-or-death sce­nario for you!)

Once you feel his body relax, you can sim­ply roll him to the side and make your escape!
