me and a guy who outweighs me by about 30 pounds were having a little grappling match and i had an armbar locked in but he stood up (he's about 6"2, im 6"), lifted me and slammed me right on the back of my head on the carpet living room floor. anyways, i got ko'd for a split second, it was fast enough that the 5 others didnt even notice, but still, ive never been hurt/knocked out/rocked before in my life,i had a headache for an hour or 2 and now i feel completely fine but i was just wondering, is my chin more suspectible now i.e will this make me more likely to be knocked out from a punch?

thanks for the answer.

stupid question but..

lets say my brain had 100% HP before the incident. Considering i was out for a half second and only had a mild headache for an hour, would i now be like a 90% or a 10%? is the damage tellable by the amount of time out i.e since i was only out a second not much damage was done to my brain. im asking this cause assuming i fight someone and they hit me with a couple solid punches that i would have walked through before, would i now get ko'd much easier and for longer periods of time or is the difference unnoticable?

thanks


edit: what im asking is, did my dumbass friend ruin my chin permanently?

He might have to be honest. While reading your post I immediately thought concussion or brain damage. I've also heard that carpet burns can affect ones ability to take a punch.

Have you been checked out by a doctor? If not he should be able to tell you how many HP's you have left.

Ok so not to dig into you but WTF are you doing still sparring?

Take some time off, concussions take dump truck loads of time to heal the tiniest bit. I asked my wife but she wont say crap because anyone reading this could sue her because she's a RN so basically MY advice is the same as rustys, go to the fn doc get a MRI and you'll know more.

I cant say how bad it effected you because my net ready MRI broke this morning BUT Ill say this.

USE PROTECTIVE GEAR!

P.S. head bleeds can kill you, its nothing to play with if you are having residual effects STOP SPARRING and see a medical professional.

STOP SPARRING and see a medical professional.
^THIS. I'm always wondering when people are writing about quite severe incidents while training, sometimes even having obvious health issues for quite an amount of time and did not go to a professional who can check them personally, but rather ask people in the internet whose medical credentials they cannot verify and even with credible medical professionals could not a personal live check.

look, ive been in like 2 fights my whole life ok, i dont go around picking or starting them. someone started one with me and i stood up for myself... sometimes the only way to settle things is in a fight, and if you step down your a *****. its about being a man... you cant let people walk over you, sometimes you have to stand up for yourself to get respect so that people dont pick on you...

i assure you i have no bullying problems but assuming somebody calls me a ***** or tries walking over me or challenges me to a fight, THAT is why im asking the above questions.... i dont want to fight, and probably wont....

OK big deep breath because Im high..


Nobody here can tell you what you are wanting to hear but odds are you're fine.
im baked myself

but anyways you can help me.

have you been ko'd before?

if so, have you noticed a difference in the amount of damage you can take before and after being ko'd, and if so, have you found there to be a large difference, or any at all

thankyou

you were still sparring after getting a concussion? do people need to be told not to do that?

after getting a concussion you become far more susceptible to permanent damage until you fully heal. if you fight concussed you are an idiot, plain and simple. no one ever makes you fight. fighting is for fun, its something I do with friends in a controlled environment. if you need to defend yourself use a weapon, its what i do.

@ Xerberus :

I know that in the general opinion of the people who have replied in this thread is that the kid should get checked out by a doctor.

I have a nagging concern for my own body currently after reading this topic. I know that I have had a delayed concussion in the past. I believe I received the blow to my head when I was 10 or 11 years old. Basically a piece of firewood cracked me in the head, I had enough motor skills to get myself about a hundred yards to my house to relay what had happened.

The next day I had gone into school and went into a state of concussion. The only thing I can recall from this experience is that I felt extremely dizzy. I had the help of two people just to get to the nurse's office. When mom got there I could not walk on my own-accord.

I would be believe that after 12 to 14 years that this concussion should be healed. I am curious if something like this should be checked out after such a long period of recovery?
