Thruppenny bit dropped from height effective?
I heard a thruppenny bit dropped from sufficient heights will drop someone, and sometimes they never get up.
It's all in the positioning, timing, set-up and terminal velocity.
Having an opponent as sharp as a pillow and half as active also helps.
Three serious points.
1) If you are in the position to have enough control to effectively land a double anything to specific points, especially on something so usually well-guarded as someone's noggin, you are probably using excessive force. Or you're an *******.
2) If you are ever in the position where you feel you have to use something as potentially devastating as these strikes, Mantisben, you will hope they never get up.
3) Temujinn. You haven't been in a fight have you? Or you're an *******. How many people exactly have you caused to look for their teeth? And how many of those weren't prepared because they weren't actually looking for fights? Thought this was the reality forum. Stand up and take the weight off your brains.
edited for the freedom of expression to call a complete stranger an *******.

I just wanted other opinions on how effective a double-strike to the temples would be against an opponent. I NEVER want to hit someone where they never get up. If this is one of those techniques, then I'll probably NEVER use it.
If it is NOT one of those techniques where it can possibly permanently damage my opponent, then I might be tempted to use it if I saw the opportunity.
I'd like to add that I'll NEVER fight someone I know is no match for me. I'd sooner tell them "You could beat me up", "I'm no match for you", "I don't want to get hurt by you", etc.. Anything to avoid a fight. When I fight, it is because, in my own judgement, it was unavoidable...
If I can run, I'll do that. Sometimes, running can make things worse. I've seen guys get into a fight, see that they're losing, try to get way by running, and have 5 other guys chase him down the street, and beat him sensless. They didn't attack him when he was fighting, only when he started to run. Kind of like running past a dog. You can calmly walk by a dog and chances are he won't attack you. But if you RUN past a dog, most dogs have this instinct to chase things running past them.
Sometimes, you can't run. Not because there isn't any room, but you could have women, children, and/or elderly folk with you. Now, you're not just defending yourself, but also the helpless/powerless unfortunate enough to be thrown in this situation with you. G-D forbid!
Still, if I'm thrown into a situation like this, I will hit anyone and everyone with everything I got, or can get my hands on.
