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!

FAQ: What Causes That Light-Headed Feeling After Being Knocked Out?

When a person gets knocked out, their brain experiences a sudden and severe trauma. This can cause a temporary disruption in brain function, such as loss of consciousness, memory loss, and confusion.

What causes a person to get knocked out?

Being knocked out is usually caused by a strong blow to the head, which can result from a fall, a physical attack, or a sports-related injury. The impact causes the brain to suddenly move and hit against the skull, leading to a loss of consciousness.

Is getting knocked out dangerous?

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.

How long does it take to recover from being knocked out?

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.

Can getting knocked out cause long-term effects?

In some cases, being knocked out can result in long-term effects, such as memory loss, changes in behavior, or persistent headaches. These effects may vary depending on the individual and the severity of the injury. Seeking medical attention and following proper recovery protocols can help minimize the risk of long-term effects.
