A question to those who have at some point been punched in the face.

depends on if you were expecting the punch or not. I've experienced both, with expecting the punch, numbness definitely.
Not expecting the punch, and its honestly like a light going out, and when you come around this wild feeling of disorientation along with ringing in the ears and a tremendous throbbing pain.
Trust me take the numbness over the disorientation anyday. Adrenaline is a wonderful thing

I have been hit in the head by glass bottles, kicked and punched a few times in the face area. In all honesty, none of it hurt at all until about an hour or so later. I found that being hit anywhere in the forehead area did not hurt at any point but being hit around the cheek would cause some pain but only after some time had passed. Getting hit around the ear hurts like all hell though... now I am straying.
I was once hit in the face by a football, kicked by one of my schools better players. It was a cracking shot to, hit me between the eyes. That stung a little, felt like my face was on fire for a few minutes and messed up my balance.

Throughout my life my brother and I have a history of going at it like Rock-em Sock-em Robots, so I know. There's the shock of the blow, but it you're expecting it it's going to go a bit numb because of the adrenaline. If you're not expecting it chances are it's going to hurt more. Either way you're going to be dizzy and dazed. Hurts more to get a back eye while wearing glasses. Had to replace a perfectly good pair because my brother smashed it into my eye. Lens cracked. Surprised I wasn't digging bits of glass out of my eye that day. Still tenses me up thinking about it.
depends. I've been a boxer, so the number and force of the impacts is a factor. When my nose was broken it definitely hurt. Same goes for the time my eyelid got cut open. Generally though, a punch to the cheek or forehead or something, yeah, not much pain to speak of right away. Obviously a solid punch to the right area can do some serious damage immediately. The dizziness has always been more of a problem for me though. My susceptibility to disorientation is the reason I stopped boxing. Body shots have always hurt more though. Dat solar plexus shot.
Yep. Broke my glasses, though, which I was actually far more upset about. Those things are expensive, man.Zhukov said:
Oh God, when I was a kid I got my glasses broken a couple dozen times. Pissed my mom off, because we wen't exactly flush with cash.Susan Arendt said:
No please, tell us how much manlier you are than the rest of us for feeling real pain from a punch to the face. We all believe that your the ONLY one to be hit properlySmashLovesTitanQuest said:
OT: Its not normally a nice sensation but aside from the bruising it doesnt hurt all that bad. Getting knocked out is worse as you can land funny, like I did, and as has been said, square in the nose makes your eyes water.
It feels likea bubbling happiness. The first feeling is dull, numb, yet after that it changes into burning happiness that makes you smile, that makes you laugh. It gets your blood pumping and your brain racing; it's as if you are free for the first time in a long time, and all you can do is grin and laugh as the burn slowly fades away, but still stays there reminding you of what happened.
Mild stinging in the skin, especially the nose if it got hit (Good luck if you have an itchy nose) and if it's further up I get a funny taste in my mouth as well as mild dizziness.
Here's a tip, if someone's about to punch you in the face you should probably try to avoid it.

People react differently to pain. To be honest, I don't remember what happens straight after a punch to the face, I just know that my nose itches like crazy if I get punched in the nose. Your face going numb isn't a big thing, it is the adrenaline and what have you. It's an advantage! FEEL NO PAIN!!!
Not really, violence is. Since I never punch first, to me being punched means that the social limits of inflicting violence upon others have been temporarily and partially removed in the name of self defense and therefore I view being punched as a positive thing.axlryder said:
Adrenaline carried through in that moment and allowed me to keep on. So I didn't feel it instantly. But five minutes later I noticed a sharp burning sensation, that it hurt for me to rotate my eye, that I had some serious swelling going on. Then it started to hurt in the back of my neck/head. Then I noticed I was quite woozy.
But you shoulda seen the other guy. Actually, this happened at work (Behavioral Health clinic. Most of the patients there were oversized teenage boys with history of violent crimes or even rape. This was one of the really oversized ones, and he had assaulted three other staff members that week), so I didn't try to punch him back. I just put him in a temporary hold until my partner could assist me in a different (transport) hold. We took him to a solitary area (just to remove the scene from the other patients. We were on camera at all times, so no abuse happened) and called the nurse so she bring in a sedative.

I've been punched in the face a few times. Getting punched in the nose is really disorientating, not to mention demoralizing. I'm fairly prone to nose bleeds so I usually start bleeding straight away. Being punched in the jaw is okay during a fight but hurts like a mother for a few days afterwards. But yeah, the actual effect immediately after being punched is pretty okay, certainly not the instant painsplosion you might expect.
Ive been pnuched in the face once, and I was shocked by the whole thing, I didnt pay much attention to the actual sensation.
I was in shock because it came out of nowhere, and was done by my best friend. He told me later that he thought I was about to punch him in the face... I than preceded to instead knee him in the balls and point out we're even.
