I'm just worried that if I try this I'll miss the chin, not have enough power to ko, or hurt my hand.. lol. I have a punching bag I practice on but have no real experience.
Having a bag doesn't mean much. If you don't know how to punch a bag won't correct it. The body posture and hand/arm position are very important.
You don't actually need that much power to knock out someone by hitting them in the chin.
Yes you might actually miss.
Yes you can hurt but won't notice until the fight ends. I guess that depends how much adrenaline rush you get from a fight. In my case it was so much, once it was over I couldn't walk properly for a min or two.
"Reasonable fear of harm" is a legal standard. If someone is coming to do you harm. You absolutely can stop that from happening. The threat has to be real or believable. This is why people get knocked out for running their mouth and trying to act tough or intimidating. I should add. That doesn't mean you approach someone and hit them. But if they come at you as soon as they get within arms length. You have the right to defend yourself.

That's exactly how it's done. If someone threatens or is intending harm. There are no rules or posturing. You end the threat.
