Jul 11, 2012 at 7:31 comment added Tassisto @Samuel Learn how to avoid/parry the punches, before sparring. You should talk to your coach, I'm sure he'll give you some exercises on how to parry. The thing is that you just have to ask, instead of damaging your brains. I practise MMA & Muay Thai for 4 years and I refuse to spar with no matter who (beginner/expert). And if I spar I choose to wear head gear just in case.

May 28, 2012 at 12:57 comment added Patricia @Samuel that's a little concerning. If you have a job that requires your brain... i'd think about learning to block and parry, quickly. and maybe ask about wearing head gear.
May 28, 2012 at 12:25 comment added user474 @Trevoke, because I'm not a pro yet. Which is the reason why I'm training (and thus why I'm getting hit a lot). You don't get started in kickboxing and immediately learn how to avoid all of the blows they throw at you. That's impossible for a beginner like me when fighting a more trained opponent.
May 28, 2012 at 12:23 comment added user474 @Patricia, we don't wear head gear (but we do wear thick gloves, which I believe are 16 oz.), in fact at the three schools at which I trained, noone wore any headgear. I don't think that's customary in kickboxing in the Netherlands.

May 28, 2012 at 2:01 comment added Anon @DaveLiepmann Actually, I'd argue it is that simple -- but, as you comment, not that easy. I hate to make it sound like I'm playing with words, but I don't know how else to explain it.
May 28, 2012 at 1:17 comment added Dave Liepmann @Trevoke While that might be a lot of contact (even for kickboxing), it's not so simple to "just stop getting hit in the head" if training hard in a sparring-oriented head-hitting art.
May 25, 2012 at 23:41 comment added Anon Why don't you just stop getting hit in the head? It's not kickboxing that's bad for you, it's getting hit hard in the head. And that's bad for you regardless of what you train.
May 24, 2012 at 13:18 comment added Patricia you see stars and feel light headed 2-3 times per training session? that's bad. those are both pretty good signs that your brains rattled, and getting damaged. Do you wear head gear and 16 oz gloves when you spar?

May 23, 2012 at 16:14 comment added Dave Liepmann Great question. I gave it a shot, but I hope we get someone with extensive kickboxing and/or relevant medical experience to weigh in with some facts.
