effects of ko

[13ang]

I have been wondering what effect geting knocked out has on your body, be it once, twice, or regularly?

[Bjjexpertise@be]

I think a knockout is basically your brain rebooting from sensory overload. I don't think knockouts themselves hurt you in any way but the fact that you sometimes have to take a barrage of punches before one knocks you out does. So basically it's the fact that you got hit in the face that harms you, not going unconscious itself.

Hmm, although I'm sure everyone knows this, it gives you brain damage. Ali has never been KO'ed (not 100% sure, double check this), he has brain damage to the point where he can't really talk that well. Kind of ironic, since Ali was the biggest trash talker there was and now he can't even say a complete sentence.

When you get KOed it means your lacking blood to the brain. The reason you get knocked out when your chin is punched at the right angle is your neck turns sideways, and blocks the vein from blood flow. When you brain lacks blood flow it kills brain cells, and brain cells never grow back. Unless you use stem cells, but were far aways from that technology.

So my advice is don't get knocked out ^_^. Keep a good guard up, and it shouldn't happen.

Not to mention not having to take a barrage of punches full on.

umm about Ali, well he did have the best record, and in my book the best can talk as much trash as they want since they are beneath no one.

Ive been KOd several times, out cold. Both by head blows and once by a punch to the jaw (where your ears ring first and you feel your jaw bone go all the way up into your brain and then lights out) When you wake up you have THE WORST headache ever imaginable and just staying awake is very painful second by second, you just want to die. This goes on for about 4 hours, then you sleep it off. After that you are back to normal.
To practice getting KOd or rocked in a fight, we would do forward rolls towards a opponent and stand up real fast while we are dizzy (to simiulate getting rocked) and spar at that point.

All right, great to hear.

And yeah, doing forward rolls to simulate the dizziness and then sparring is a very good way to simulate being rocked without losing brain cells. It's actually a good way to train.

be careful the effects of being knocked out are residual, you have a concussion when knocked out, you should not spar for 30 days afterwards, now every one will say how hard they are and go on, but doing this is deadly! USA boxing has regs in place for a reason, we need to learn from the early mistakes of boxing so mma does not repeat them!
