You may take a lot of proactive steps to assist prevent head trauma. When the brain is rocked back and forth inside the skull, a knockout or concussive-type damage happen. Some fighters continue to open themselves up when they punch, stand up too tall, and fail to tuck their chins under their shoulders. The best sort of protection you can use is good technique. By improving your capacity to absorb the force of each punch, you can lessen the sudden acceleration that occurs when you are struck.
The head can be held firmly in place with the aid of strong neck and shoulder muscles, reducing the reaction time after taking a clean strike. Your ability to absorb impact and reduce your risk of having your head tossed around on your shoulders are both improved by strengthening the neck muscles. Lay a towel or pad on the floor and put your head on it. Then, stand up straight on your toes and maintain your balance by only using your neck muscles. To gain a full view of your neck, turn your head in all directions, but avoid compressing your spine in any way. Due to its stigma, head trauma is generally not a topic that is mentioned by trainers or in most gyms.
Even though it is undesirable, concussions are a common occurrence in sports, and researchers are becoming aware of the negative consequences of many concussions. The best way to prevent it is to be progressive in this area and to face it in an open manner.
