2	He ain't wrong Woahh! Great source!	/r/PussyPassDenied	08/07/19 03:33 PM
1	He ain't wrong A woman, Shan Zhang from China, did win gold and set the Olympic and world record in the last mixed-gender shooting competition there was in the olympics (skeet, 1992), hitting 373/375. Since 1992 mixed gender events have been removed, and it's difficult to compare men's to women's shooting events now because the events themselves have differed in the number of targets per round, etc., though from what I understand the events will be equalized between the genders starting next olympics!	/r/PussyPassDenied	08/07/19 02:54 PM
-1	He ain't wrong You said "as well as a lot of top ranked females," would you say there are some top ranked females who could hang with the top 200 males?	/r/PussyPassDenied	08/07/19 02:33 PM
2	🚫 The brain bouncing is absolutely one of the other mechanisms that a knockout can be induced by, but that type of knockout is more likely to be triggered by your head impacting against the concrete, etc. (and probably the most likely mechanism with head kick knockouts). The wiki page on knockouts mentions the temple as another target area for inducing traumatic loss of consciousness, and I imagine that the mechanism in that case would be cerebral bounce house.	/r/PussyPassDenied	08/07/19 12:40 PM
3	🚫 I can't vouch for or against the palm heel strike, but the temple is the only spot other than the chin listed on the wiki page on knockouts. I unfortunately do not have physiological insight on that one 😑	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 09:16 PM
1	🚫 Haha!! I am so honored	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 06:12 PM
1	🚫 The fencing response... the only thing Reddit loves more than Keanu Reeves ;) The fencing response is elicited in response to head trauma resulting in damage to the midbrain. If the fencing response is elicited, then no doubt the patient is unconscious, but the fencing response is not elicited in the vast majority of unconscious patients. It is a signifier of the severity of the head trauma experienced.	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 06:10 PM
2	🚫 Baroreceptors ;) Yes, the carotid sinus is the major baroreception site in the human body. Specifically it contains a ton of baroreceptors from the "sinus nerve of Hering" which is a branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve 9).	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 06:01 PM
2	🚫 I am not aware of any long term complications associated with the loss of consciousness associated with the carotid sinus reflex by itself (obviously things could be injured due to the strike or as a result of losing consciousness and falling). The loss of consciousness associated with the carotid sinus reflex is typically very brief (a matter of seconds), as the body is very quick to normalize the blood pressure.	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 05:54 PM
1	🚫 "Pressure point' is not a medical term, it just means a spot on the body that can be manipulated in a certain way (pressed, massaged, poked, etc) to produce significant pain or other effects. Pressure points are used in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine and in some martial arts. That area of the neck would be considered a pressure point I imagine because manipulating it does produce downstream effects (reduced heart rate and vasodilation). I can't see why striking the neck at the area of t…	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 05:42 PM
2	🚫 I would think yes, and I can't see why it wouldn't be, but the lack of convincing footage from my quick google search has me skeptical. This is the only video I was able to find: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DcaOr1TBA1w Also, I'm not finding any martial arts that teach a technique like a judo chop or throat punch knockout, and I would think that'd be widespread if it was a thing, given the popularity of pressure point exploitation in eastern martial arts.	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 05:32 PM
447	🚫 I don't think so, that strike would have just as much likelihood of knocking you out open vs closed palm. The physiology behind why she was knocked out is actually really interesting! There are multiple ways that you can lose consciousness as a result of a punch or kick, but by far the most common is abrupt, excessive activation of the carotid sinus reflex. High in your neck (about the area that you feel your carotid pulse) your carotid artery bifurcates into the internal and external carotid ar…	/r/PussyPassDenied	07/07/19 10:38 AM
