i got knocked out while practicing chock holds at my local Judo club tonight, but it wasn't because my bloodflow was cut off, it was becaue of the blood rush to my head after he stopped, kinda like that light-headded feeling you get if you stand up quick after laying down for a while. i was only out for a second or two, but when i finally realized what had just happened, i thought i had been out for hours. i had no sense of time, and it took me a while to realize where i was and what i was doing, and i also had a funny taste in my mouth.

I thought it was pretty cool, but the kid thought he killed me. stupid kid doesn't know teenagers can't die :wink: .

I deleted it on purpose when I quoted you. Makes you look more slap-happy and disoriented.

Is it like a wicked high?

This can be the next big trend instead of drugs. I see it now...

Get Knocked Out, It's COOL!

While getting knocked out is not always dangerous, it is important to seek medical attention if someone loses consciousness for more than a few seconds. This can help identify any potential brain injuries or other complications that may require treatment.

The recovery time for being knocked out can vary depending on the severity of the impact and any potential injuries. In most cases, a person will regain consciousness within a few seconds or minutes. However, it may take several hours or days to fully recover from any associated symptoms, such as headaches or dizziness.
