Knocking someone on the jaw hinge, right behind the ear, may shatter their jaw and finish most battles in an instant. 5. Side of neck: This traditional chop location isn't only for kung fu movies. You might strike the vagus nerve if you hit someone on the side of the neck and carotid artery. The angle makes it easy to find, but be careful not to hurt anyone else when training. Top of head: This is another common place to land a blow to the neck or throat. It's effective because the top of the head is a hard surface that can deliver a powerful punch. Be careful not to connect too high though; you don't want to damage your own brain with these strikes! 6. Eye: This is another popular target because it's difficult to defend and will often cause a quick loss of vision. Be careful not to hit any internal organs when training though; you don't want to kill your partner just yet! 7. Chest/Heart: These are natural targets for striking due to the center of mass nature of the body. If you time it right you can avoid having either piece of meat leave the chest cavity entirely. 8. Stomach: This is another easy target because there's not much you can do if you hit it. However, try not to go for the belly button or you'll probably split them in two. Legs: These are good targets for striking due to their lack of defense and their impact on mobility.
