Is there a combat sport I can participate in where I am unlikely to get concussions? I'm very scared of getting brain damage.

bjj, any grappling sport
No. Grappling has lots of falling down on mats. Over time it will affect your brain. Also BJJ is useless on its own, you need something to compliment it.

Don't listen to this retard OP
Also
>Point to one grappler with brain damage
Cope
Not an argument you stupid gay
Why dont you go lie down on the floor and wait for someone to lie down on top of you so can wrap your thighs around their face
>he doesn't know that wrestling exists
Jesus Christ I hate people that have never trained talking about martial arts
>He thinks WWE is real
Why’re you bringing up wrestling in a discussion about BJJ? Also wrestlers risk neck injuries which I’d say is on par with brain damage.
How exactly do you think bjj gets to the ground???
And no, it really doesn't, I would rather have a sore neck than fucking brain damage lmao
You
You
Point to one decent grappler without fucked up knees/shoulders/fingers/toes/elbows/ankles.
I never said that wasn't an eventuality of grappling, the argument was about brain damage, dummy
to be fair OP didn't mention he cared about those
>Don't listen to this retard OP
Fencing
i used to do fencing, its fun but its not useful unless you somehow end up in a rapier swordfight
Better learn kali or any variation if you want something useful with knives
You should just do combat sports for a few years. That is my plan. No more than 5 years of active sparring and competition. I've been slowly training myself without sparring until my next birthday when I will start sparring and competing.
Look man, you can probably do judo or bjj and sustain minimal concussions if any, but at the end of the day you are taking a risk doing a combat sport. It is literally fucking fighting. If you can't handle this, you aren't a born fighter. That doesnt mean you cant become proficient at grappling for instance, but it will take you much longer if youre constantly worrying.
I do BJJ and i got fucking flatlined once by an accidental knee to the chin
Theyre unlikely but still happen because some retards FLAIL around like spastics
Some dick head somersaulted on my head during a BJJ class when I was just a white belt and I ended up with tinnitus.
>If you can't handle this, you aren't a born fighter.
The real test to see if you're a born fighter is whether as a kid you'd fight back or run away.
I got a few concussions playing football growing up. It isn't really a big deal.
A severe concussion or repetitive concussions is one thing but a minor concussion every now and then is not going to fuck your brain
If you wanna get good you will get hurt. Just get decent if you train for health and longevity. Minimize hard sparring, do a lot of shadowboxing or pad/heavy bag work for cardio and technique. You dont need much skill for irl self defense as long as you're also athletic, fairly strong and not a 60kg manlet.
Lets derail this thread and start talking about the dogpill
Shotacon karate
you don't have to do hard sparring if you don't want, try wathever fancies you
Kek I have been carried to hospital so many times from head injuries. It's not that bad but I unironically forgot my entire childhood and have trouble with creating memories. Fighting and extreme sports+beaten as a child.
Im the short washed up actual MMA fighter from the other thread.
The short of it is, stop being scared of head knocks. Once you get used to it you just learn to block duck and roll, pussies flake out with the concussion shit in whi case fighting is just not for you
Fear has no place in a crack. Stop being a bitch. Man up. Stop talking, like stop saying words justifying your fear. Man up or fuck off.
If your reply is anything but acceptance of what Im saying, dont bother.
You already sound brain damaged you fucking loser
Fighting is not for scared gay dyels. Give up pussy
Take it easy.
you dont need to practice punches/kicks. or even jiu jitsu. learn wresting and judo. a fall to concrete is much more lethal than any washed up mma low-iq brain rocked shithead can do to you anyways
none of them?
if you're scared of getting brain damage don't do combat sports
>inb4 but you can win le street fight
ok
