Is It Possible To Knock Someone Out With A Karate/Jujutsu Chop To The Neck Or A Punch To The Body?

 The target is the "Carotid Sinus" where there are "barorecepters" that regulate blood pressure!  

It's not shocking the vegus nerve, it doesn't cut off blood flow to the brain, it's not a brachial stun and it's not mystical either. . .

the barorecepters within the carotid sinus are tricked by the trauma into believing the sudden influx of pressure upon the area is due to increased blood pressure so the baroreceptors response is to send signal to quickly lower blood pressure.

Since it was tricked and B.P. wasn't high the sudden drop in B.P. results in unconsciousness.

What these practitioners also don't medically understand is that this can be fatal in someone w/a pre-existing or undiagnosed heart condition! So demonstrating or practicing on students is irresponsible ego masturbation. Many pseudo-experts teach dangerous unarmed combat attacks, overconfidently, incorrectly, believing they understand what they're doing but lacking the advanced medical education to correctly understand what's actually taking place.

WWII SOE female agent Nancy Wake killed a Nazi by striking him here w/a backhanded edge of palm chop. It was the ONLY unarmed combat kill of the war CONFIRMED by the War Department. Pseudo-masters risk prison by curiously, selfishly, experimenting on some trusting victim. Low blood pressure can be fatal, if the recipient has a pre-existing weakness or is over 40 yrs old.

Also dislodging arterial plaque in the carotid artery by striking or strangling the neck can lead to a stroke.

By punching the “stomach”? No there's no medical possibility of driving a fist into the stomach bag to create knockout however into the abdomen or front of the torso, which may be your meaning, it's possible to knock a man out (not all knockouts result in unconsciousness. See: TKO, technical knockout) by knuckle punching the liver or the solar-plexus which was refered to as “the mark” by old time boxers and pugilists. This is where the English term derives from in saying, “Hit the mark” or “missed the mark”. The mark was the primary target for knockout in historical bareknuckle pugilism and later bareknuckle fisticuffs boxing. Bareknuckle Pancrase fighter Bas Rutten made a career knocking out opponents with bareknuckle punches to the liver and solar plexus. Many old time boxers did before the invention of television. With enough power and accuracy a punch to the spleen can also result in a T.K.O. or K.O. but per chance may also result in death just as a liver punch can if the recipient has an underlying medical issue. The escape artist Harry Houdini died from a punch to his abdomen when his appendex burst. There's also a chance of death when you use violence of any kind on a human being. Criminal courts will hold you responsible for causing any accidental death, sometimes even if you acted in self defense, and in prison you'll get to advance your gladitorial education….if you survive. To destroy is easy but to create is power.
