Can sparring once a week give you minor brain damage?

[WillieWild114]

Are there any negative effects of sparring boxing once a week with headgear ?

Hitting your head always runs the risk of brain damage. No matter what way you sustain a blow to the head. Boxing, Car accident, baseball to the face, someone slapping you in the head, fall off the bed, etc.

As for sparring once a week? I'm not sure. I'd say that's up to your coach and you. What are your goals and what is the purpose of your sparring? But that's a question to sit down with you coach and analyze.

But to give an answer, yes. Sparring can give you minor or significant brain damage.

Any head trauma is brain damage.

This right here. You can have a minor fall on the head and get some minor brain damage.

Use lithium. It will lessen the likelihood that you become retar ded or killed in the ring. If you are worried about losing your personality and intellect then just shadow box and hit a stationary bag.

If you'd like to lessen the damage to the brain than do not wear head gear. If you want protection when you clash heads, and it will happen, than do wear a head gear....................Rockin'

im curious about this. Some headgears do seem to magnify the damage, but I also have tried a few older head gears, they really do absorb the impact. I got an old replica ray flores headgear, works amazing.

Of course it will. Your head isnt meant to be punched for 9 or 36mins.

What you can do to help your brain is take cbd before and after sparring. I suggest using a roll on CBD around the head and neck areas before and after sparring take a tincture. You can take the tincture first but my fighters say it sometimes makes them feel slower or too relaxed.

Some college student in Las Vegas just died after his first amateur fight.

One punch placed well can give you brain damage, and without proper recovery time the damage builds.
