How many times do fighters get KTFO'd in your practices?
Serious question.
Happened to one of mine today. He was wearing boxing head gear, had his mouth guard in and his opponent had vinyl foam foot gear on.
hook kick to the head pretty much dropped him immediately. He was out for 2-3 seconds and way groggy for another 20-30 seconds. after another 1-2 minutes he was speaking clearly and walking fine...cleaning up his gear, etc.
he is experiencing short term memory loss...everything from about 10 minutes before getting ko'd. this is normal. he hasn't puked and his equilibrium seems ok...walked up steps fine and unlocked his own door etc. his girl is with him and will call 911 and then me if anything changes.
We generally only go 'full contact' once a month, the rest of the practices are intended to be moderate contact. today was a hard day but the kick wasn't that hard...just right on the money.
Back to the question, though. What is usual or normal expectation? Do you get ko's in practice regularly? ever?
thanks
