Gilbey.

Miles had read it too and remembered the story about the “dinky little poke” which was this “secret technique” where a precise shot (aimed thru hit up thru chin to cerebullum?) would rattle the brain and cause KOs. The book also has a neat one about someone weaponized breath and one with a Kiai master.
[mind you in the book the guy gives a very powerful exhalation that stuns the consciousness of the author of the book, not this humming]
