ОглавлениеCHAPTER 2 BACK OF THE HEAD, TEMPLE, MASTOID AND EARDRUM
I once broke my hand on a guy’s head, although he wasn’t affected at all. On another occasion, I hit an armed robbery suspect with a no-big-deal snap punch and the blow fractured his cheekbone, released a geyser of blood, and sent him to the ER.
Most readers probably have a story about seeing someone take a head shot only to go on about their business as if nothing happened. Perhaps you have seen a person take a seemingly light hit to the face but go down like the proverbial lead balloon. In the world of MMA fighting, there is always a competitor who gets his nose smeared like jelly on toast but simply shrugs it off. Then there are those pros who bite the canvas after what looked like a light kick to the head, making you wonder if it’s a fix.
While we can agree that attacking the head can be unreliable, especially when the recipient isn’t receptive to pain, there are some targets there that are more likely to get a response than others. (Look at all the qualifiers in this last sentence: can be, some, and more likely. This is because there are no absolutes when dealing with the human body, especially when its brain isn’t receiving pain messages from its parts.)
Warning: Anytime you hit someone in the head, there is a potential for serious injury and death. Not only can the initial target be damaged, the brain is highly susceptible to injury, too. As always, be justified to use these techniques.
