Yeah, the liver goes all the way across. Science and all. BUT, it's that fatty right side that we're going for. I don't know why hitting it in other places doesn't get the same effect, but it doesn't. I've been hit pretty hard in the solar plexus. It made me want to vomit and it took my air. But, really, it didn't hurt. It stunk big time but didn't hurt and I would venture my liver took a bit of the blow. I've also done medicine ball drops on my stomach that made food come up. My liver seemed none the wiser.

That kick does hit the mark. It's kind of a weird place that you have to go for, kinda half way down between your sternum and the bottom of your ribs on that smooth curve. Part of the foot caught the right spot with an upward trajectory and it does have to go upward. I don't think a body shot does it. I've had body shots that left my ribs looking like a bruised banana. But, as hard as that kick came around, just the impact may have irked the liver enough.

Thank you for your questions, Travis. You really read my posts. You dig through them and I like that. If you catch me in an error I NEED to know because writers are depending on me to be right. So, thank you. Also, you know a ton. If you're reading this craziness, I must be doing something right. I will definitely lean on you for a post some time.

Saludos a tu esposa bella. Miles felicidades.

Also the kick you showed in the second video actually hit the bottom of the ribs, which makes sense to me because the liver partly hides behind the rib cage. But since I am not a trained martial artist, I'm unclear if the best liver shot is to hit the lower ribs as hard as you can or to hit BELOW the ribs.

Also I know that the nerve cluster called the solar plexus is just below the sternum, therefore below the rib cage. Would a solar plexus shot ALSO hit the liver? Does that have anything to do with why that spot is worth hitting?

Thanks for the info you've been sharing. I appreciate it.
