Interesting vid, I think its works in a competition, but not really in self-defense..

You can drop someone if you hit it right. They suck

Livershot. Often highly underestimated.

I completely agree. I was dropped by one during sparring, I was standing and
immediately after the liver shot I was down catching my breath.

Got hit too once with a liver shot, it wasnt a high point for me. What about the kidney shot as opposed to the liver shot?

Tee Sok · 10-05-2009, 05:44 AM

I heard that a good, clean kidney shot could be lethal but I don't know if it's true.
Here's a video showing an idiotic Russian guard hitting a boy on the kidney for no reason. I hope they arrested that scum.

A grazing yet strong blow to the kidney can cause a rupture which can be fatal.

george stando · 10-05-2009, 03:34 PM

The kidney shot is real bad, like the others said, its not something to play with especially in safe sparring and competition.

In my competition days maaany moons ago I knocked a few people down with a left hook to the liver,mo monet shot! also the close range jump spinning back kick to the liver is a great shot(Im not kidding) used sparingly in a match and as a counter to hands or as a follow up to a landed left hook to the liver it is a great kick.

george stando · 10-05-2009, 05:03 PM

Firecobra, thats cool. I just remember it because bas rutten used it alot when they used to slap(open hand)in the standup in pancrase and he always said go for the liver shot when he was a color commentator when someone went to the body.

Thanks George,of course a left shin to the liver is also a great shot and a left knee which I particularly like nowadays.

The thread got me thinking about more pinpointing a shot, as i get better, and my body is really reacting better and better to finding the openings, i am now working on a bit more precision in landing the shots. This has helped my thinking and understanding.

**Hardball** · 10-05-2009, 08:06 PM

All I can say is this thread makes me glad we wear chest gear when we spar.

george stando · 10-05-2009, 08:52 PM

Funny, it got me thinking both ways. How to protect and how to attack!

Clip below reminds me a bit of i believe hopkins when he hit de la hoya with the body shot and just laid him out
