The Liver Punch Knockout

While I still prefer the palm heel strike over the closed fist, I have come to appreciate the superiority of the close fist when it comes to blows to the torso. In today's post, I want you to consider knockout by a punch to the liver.

Although the narration comes from the perspective of biological evolution rather than creative design, the following video provides an excellent explanation of how and why a blow to the liver can incapacitate or even cause unconsciousness.
CAUTION: (You may want to skip this one if anatomically correct illustrations violate your viewing code.)
