What Happens When You Get 'Knocked Out'?

A 'knock out’ occurs when a person is hit with a series of punches, kicks, elbow or knee shots, until the knockout hit is delivered and finally lose consciousness.

In simple word knock out can be described as a sensation of disorientation. It may be blurry vision, loss of limb coordination, disordered balance or numbness of the body. In technical terms, this is called a concussion. The concussion may be mild or severe depending on the force and location of the strike on the head.
