      Wikipedia on rabbit punching:

      A rabbit punch is a blow to the neck or to the base of the skull. It is considered dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious spinal cord injury or even death.

      Because this is a potentially fatal blow, the rabbit punch is illegal in boxing and many other combat sports that involve striking. The punch's name is derived from the use of the technique by hunters to kill rabbits with a quick, sharp strike to the back of the head, for instance using a blunt object such as a steel pipe.

      This type of punch was frequently used by 1940s Australian boxer Aaron Mulheron, to subdue his opponents. The move was eventually banned in 1941.

      The rabbit punch was mentioned in Episode 7 of The World At War, On Our Way. Interspersed with the playing of the tune This Is the Army Mr. Jones, one of the segments was dedicated to training American soldiers in hand-to-hand combat training. "Here we teach you how to kill.... snuff out his life... the rabbit punch, tearing the eyes, ripping the mouth." The rabbit punch was also mentioned in the 1948 film, The Naked City, by wrestler and murder suspect Willy Garza.
