Nevermore

an RNC? Any info about that?

By the way, I'm pretty sure others will try to apply this knowledge on themselves or others once they've read about it here, please bring out reports of those experiences, it will be very appreciated! A big thx to all those who have replied already

Thx for being a lab rat in my quest for knowledge lol

Since they're arteries doesn't that mean they're both for getting blood into the brain and not for getting it out? (Since you can feel them beat) pmh1nic so you think that by applying a reasonably high amount of pressure it would take about a second or 2 to make somebody black out?

Btw, somebody told me that she had seen something like it on tv but that it wasn't the thing I was talking about since the guy who did it did something to the shoulder of his victim. Anybody know what that one is about? I also found an article on a police officer once using the technique on a protester and getting fired because of it. Btw, could I try it on myself as well? (I'd rather hurt mysself in trying to understand it than somebody else)

From the front. I guess he could have reached both with one hand yes, since my nephew was a lot younger/smaller at the time. I found the carotid arteries, but what do you have to do then? (only using your hand like my uncle used to) Also, how long would it normally take? I think it wasn't more than 10 seconds although that seems a bit too long I'm pretty sure it happened faster but it's a little blurry since it was such a long time ago. How long would the person normally stay unconsious? My nephew was back on his feet in a minute or so I think as far as I can tell. Btw, does anybody know the name of this technique?

Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum but while I was searching the net for an answer to the question I'm trying to answer I stumbled on this site and noticed that a lot of ppl here know what they're talking about. When I was younger an unckle of mine once made my nephew black out in a matter of seconds without hurting him or anything, he just blacked out and woke up again a few minutes later, asking my unckle to do it again lol. He did this by doing something in the area around his neck which can't have taken a lot of force since then he would have hurt my nephew. About a week ago we were talking about this event (my unckle died and we were talking about what he was like and the time we had spent together with him, hadn't thought about it for years) and I became intrigued by it so I started my search. Now, I have found some stuff about a thing called the sleeper hold, where you block off the 2 carotid arteries in the side of the neck, causing a temporary black out. However, I'm pretty certain that my unckle didn't use that since he didn't put my nephew in a head-lock and he used only 1 hand... Could anybody here please explain to me how this is done exactly and what's the principle behind it? It would be very much appreciated since I have been searching fot the answer for days and haven't found it. Thx in advance, Christophe
