Posted on Tue, 30 Mar 2021
Question: This is a weird question, I was wondering as I intend to become a fighter and I noticed people that have had concussions before are more susceptible to being knocked out, I was dropped on the head as a baby and I believe had some form of a concussion from what im told, ever since I had never received a concussion, and was wondering if that would effect my ability to take punches and or if it will make myself more susceptible to being knocked out, bit of a strange question so I apologise any assistance would be awesome, thankyou

Brief Answer:
I don't think so if it was not severe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per my knowledge, I think those who have history of concussion and caused severe injuries like fracture or muscle/tendon tear may more susceptible for knocked out.

As you had concussion during childhood, so I don't think it may affect if it was not severe.

So I would suggest you to take training from expert trainer and improve your skills. All the best.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
