Targets?
Hit the solar plexus (the area about 2" below the middle of the rib cage), kidneys (lower right sides of the abs and to the back), the area right below the belly button as well.

Just thought I'd mention the liver as well. A solid blow to the liver is worse than getting hit in the balls IMO. Last time I sparred against Josh Odom of the IFL he hit me with a liver shot and I thought nothing happened for a second. Next thing I know I crumpled to the floor and I can hardly breathe. Everything is woozy and I'm nauseous as hell. Just talking becomes hard and it's impossible to stand on your legs for the next couple minutes.
