How do you knock someone out cold without putting much effort into it. Also to do it without giving them brain damage? And how long would it last?

saps and blackjacks work well. but you need to know how to use them effectively.

Ive found the handle of a shotgun or even the barrel struck with force into the back of the head can really damage a persons eye sight but then that wasn't the quistion was it.

seriosly you aren't going to learn how to hurt somebody fast without seriosly hurting them. samariu or however you spell it had a fighting technique made for the purpose of destroying the threat of an enemy quikly by killing or rendering them unconsionce in seconds but all of there methods are dangerous and/or would probably be ineffective to anyone unwilling to put a lot of effort into training.

somebody scaring you, kick them in the nuts push them down then kick them in the gut and face a few times then make it clear not to fuck with you.

Learn Bruce Lee's punching technique. There is a set (4 books I think) called "Bruce Lee's Fighting Method" - get the green one and the blue one...they cover and teach his technique. Also get a book called "Bruce Lee's 1- and 3-inch Power Punch" by James Demile. These will teach you proper technique. Knocking someone out is comparative to hitting a homerun in baseball - you don't have to hit hard, just hit right....Now here's a tip from me - when you select a target to throw your punch at, don't aim exactly at that target - aim your punch about 2 to 3 inches behind your target. So if you are going to hit someone in the nose don't just aim for the nose - pretend like you are hitting a target that's about 3 inchs behind the nose. See, when you throw a punch but aim directly at the target then there isn't much follow-through. but if you set your target a few inches back from where your real striking point is then you follow through completely....do you see what I'm getting at? This takes some practice, by the way, but don't give up and before long it will feel natural to you...
