Originally posted by CogitoIt is a weak point because there is no way to brace for it. Just like the eyes, go nads, and etc... What does it matter if he is superhuman all the guys hitting him are superhuman too 🙄
Whether or not it's a weak point was not being debated, but other than that excellent point 👆
Originally posted by DarkOdinActually some people can and have trained themselves to be able to brace for a nut-shot. Even to the point where they can take a direct kick from a trained fighter and barely blink, if they are ready for it.
😕 How does 1 brace for a throat punch?? Its like a nut-shot ready for it or not the outcome will be the same.
They have done the same for throat punches, to the point where they can take a pretty solid punch to the throat that would wreck almost anyone else.
Originally posted by CogitoYes, try giving yourself a light tap in the throat with your finger without any bracing or tensing, just enough to feel it. Then tense your throat muscles and do the same. You will definitely feel less of an impact, unless you have some sort of very weak throat.
Contrary to (your) popular belief, the neck basically consists of the spine, trachea/esophagus, and a shitload of muscles.You absolutely can brace your neck, especially if you're, you know, superhuman.

So it comes down to having mastered very specific training to take throat shots.
Something I would feel safe to say superman doesn't have.
