No way would this strike work on the body, you could hit someone all day in the solar -plexes and they wouldnt go down. It has to be a head or throat strike ... It could also be a what i call a "Bisep bump" to the side of the head, PAINFUL ! |

I see your point but if it was hit bang on the spot you wouldn't really need to put much power behind it. Its all about the technique.  |

The point of nukite is being like a knife. If it went with enough force, hell yes it would knock them down, the wind is knocked out of them. And if you wanna do more damage, then just add a kick or something. I believe that you are refering to the Nukite in Kushanku Dai, well, Bunkai doesn't always have to follow kata, just resemble it.

A Shihon Nukite wouldn't work to the solar plexus???!?!?!?
Just as one of the senior students in your class to hit you in the solar plexus with a nukite and you'll know about it!!!
I think I see where you are coming from though - nukite is a difficult technique to perform, but when it is done well it hurts - winded
