Is it possible to punch yourself in the face and knock yourself out?

I know it sounds ridiculous, but i was just watching a boxing match with my mates and saw a dude uppercut himself in the face by accident... That gave us the idea of figuring out whether it is actually possible to knock yourself unconscious and if there was some way of using the right amount of leverage, timing and accuracy to achieve a KO... and no, I'm not willing to try it out myself lol

Update:

and if it is indeed possible, please explain the circumstance in which you have seen, or done it :)

    Knock Yourself Out

  • 1 decade ago

    it is possible. consciously or unconsciously it is possible. i am sorry john lester! but it is also possible consciously because our brain would know that it is not good for you but there are ways to block the brain's efforts to avert the danger. the same way a person could put himself in any harm's way, say crossing a street with a big warning sign not to cross. some people are still doing it , aye? then, punching one's self and knocking one's self out consciously is a possibility as well. one person can discipline his mind enough to do a task at hand. at times, our brain tells us that what is about to happen is dangerous or not good for you but we can rationalize the brain's initial reaction of fear by comparison to a more important action. if you focus well enough to the task at hand (ko-ing yourself), and believe that the consequences of getting hit outweighs (in importance) the consequences of not hitting hard enough, then you can surely knock yourself out.

    to answer directly the question: if you have bad chin and a hard punch, that should be easy. try hitting the jaw with hook or an upper. don't try a straight or a jab- it would not hit...lol

    Yes in an unconsciously manner. Like in a fight, if you do it accidentally, you can KO yourself because you do it with no DOUBT.

    Speaking of DOUBT, if you do it consciously you can't KO yourself because you have a doubt. Because your brain say to you that those action are bad to yourself. Your conscience limit your body to produced power even you are abnormal, maybe you been hurt but not really powerful.

    In a simple term, It is possible accidentally or unconsciously.
