Okay we know through science that head trauma is not good. It could have
some really negative impact on you later in life. CTE is no joke....
So how much "head trauma" have you had?
For myself: I have had head trauma from football, kickboxing and tournament fighting.
I have concussions in football and delivered concussions. In kickboxing during my nine fights I probably
took forty head shots a fight for five of them. (or more) Even though I won all but 1 I still took some shots. I don't even know how much in training. During tournaments way back in the day I took a lot of head shots as well but no concussions that I remember. In training well that is a different story.
Now at my age I have no noticeable effects to my health. I function at a high level and am constantly pushing myself to learn new skill sets. During a recent genetic test I have no genetic precursors for parkinsons, etc. So in that area I am blessed.
