Default is hitting yourself in the head/face bad for your brain

from time to time especially if I haven't sparred in awhile I'll put on mma gloves and wear a mouth guard and punch myself in the head and face usually resulting in a black eye ect. Is this bad for ones brain/ Also I don't mind getting hit in the head just the nose and when people are pounding my eye I find it kind of annoying like when Mr. Burns was hitting santa's little helper with a boxing glove Burns> "poka poka poka"
other than a ruptured ear drum and a few head aches I've never had any problems fihghting or sparring, I can deal with getting hit when fighting with no problem but it some times buggs me during sparring why?

WOW! I would say, APPARENTLY! Since you give yourself black eyes, and ect. and keep doing it. What exactly do you mean by ect.? What else happens? I have to admit, you are probably tougher than me because I know from experience I DO NOT LIKE GETTING HIT IN THE HEAD!! If you box you try not to get hit in the head, so why would you do it to yourself?
We have a drill - you hit toward the head, but you DO NOT actually hit the person. The person "getting hit" must focus on keeping his/her eyes open. Many people have tend to close their eyes when getting punch. If you see the punch coming, you can counter with whatever you want. [B](following is after edit).[/B] I just read my post and I sound like a jerk. I didn't mean to be one so if I do sound like one to you . I apoligize! You train the way you want to, what do I know?

it's ok to be a jerk cause I'm a vicious vendictive bitter asshole
ect. means like face brusies, I don't like in some ways getting hit in the face and mouth/jaw, so one must become good friends with what one doesn't like to conquer said phobias, my point is if you can't get hit in the head in sparring or fighting then you'll probably have a real bvad day when some guy on the street hits you with his bare knuckles LOL. BTW I'm kind of a sadist but at least ma fighting helps me channel it on a willing opponent, who's also probably a sadist to one degree or another

Cool! I was feeling somewhat bad. Don't get me wrong, when we spar, we go for all out. We do wear protective gear. I know this much, I can box, grapple pretty good, but if I can avoid getting hit by anyone (including myself), well, I like that idea.
I would think that the hitting yourself somehow will hurt you.

Pfft, hitting yourself in the head with your fists is so stupid!!!


Headbutt the sidewalk for real toughness.... the levels go as follows:

None- Pussy
3- Pussy
5- Pussy
6-10 - Getting there
11-37 Respectable
38-127 - Pretty good
128+ I think we have finally found the guy who can beat bruce lee!

lol dont punch yourslef in the head, its just not a good idea.

You can condition the body but not the head.... theres really no point.

I think it must be good for your brain, as I believe it fosters sort of a natural selection in the braincells. When the brain gets jarred around a little the weaker braincells will die off, allowing for stronger healthier cells to take over.

Having black eyes is also good for your eyesight, as the tissue toughens and thickens around the eyeball, preventing mypoia due to softening tissue. Also the muscles around the eye get a good workout from keeping the eye in the socket. I think this been clinically shown to increase your ability to focus quickly.

I'd keep it up...

How can you even ask if its bad for your brain ?? Do you have no common sense.. I can understand trying to get used to getting hit but to ask if it causes damage is like asking is George Bush our president. Its obvious thats its bad.. You should stop doing that. Or at least spar with someone so you have a reason to get hit in the face.. Please record yourself hitting yourself in the face, I need a good laugh..

it's good to tap around the bottom part of the eyes and rake your down a few times across your cheeks to help make the face ready before a fight. It also helps you keep your eyes open, and makes it easier not to blink (or wince) when the fists start flying.
