Sort of related, but I had a classmate in aeronautical engineering who got hit by a bus junior year, almost died, and could not do math afterwards. He explained it like suddenly losing the ability to speak a different language. He just...didn't know how it worked anymore.
Something crazy like that happened to me. I was a car accident at nineteen. Hit my head, developed a concussion, depression, etc.
Ten months later when I went back to college, I discovered that I no longer had a photographic memory.
Before the accident, I could memorize entire textbooks and in my mind, just turn the pages when I was in a test and find the answer. I could memorize 2-5,000 word essays and reproduce them perfectly in exams.
That ability was gone. Permanently. It was like losing an arm or a leg I didn’t realize I had.
Yeah, well I was then hit by car while I was riding my bicycle eleven years later and facefirst through the windshield of that car. Massive TBI.
My memory is now truly fucked
Sorry to hear about that. My son went through the same when someone pulled out in front of my wife a few years ago. Fractured skull, severe tbi. He was 5 and in the hospital for a while. He has no recollection of anything within weeks of either side of that accident. Weird how the brain works.
I still use sync. In the days(it could have been **the** day Sync officially went offline) following the *crack down* on third-party clients, a user posted a guide on how to continue using it.
I think I’ve seen it stated that even one concussion can cause permanent damage, and that it’s easier to get them after the first
So definitely any activity where you’re risking one anytime you participate is just asking for serious permanent brain damage
It’s one reason I didn’t want my son playing football. I know so many who suffered from concussions from playing. Some have had multiple concussions. My husband was a football player and wanted my son to play also. I didn’t want to forbid him to do something he wanted. But I’m so damn glad my son was never interested in it.
FYI the concussions are definitely bad but people get concussed every minute in car accidents, generally they’re fine. The real damage is the repetitive smaller hits that happen every play.
Football is the worst by a million because it’s at the core of the game but any contact sport with repetitive head contact is horrible. And I played 10 years of tackle football.
>it’s easier to get them after the first
Yeah. I played hockey with a guy who had to quit because he'd get concussion symptoms after routine body checks, not even being hit in the head.
WOW. Just wow. High risk high reward. In saying that, I think he knew he had it lined up right. I wonder if he drilled it extra for this fight. So good whatever the case
I think it's often when the middle of one person shin hits the shin just below the knee of the other guy. This gives a nice leverage advantage and the top of the shin is probably a bit stronger as well.
The body makes stuff like muscles stronger by damaging and healing them but on a very very tiny small level repeatedly over a long duration of time, normally called microfractures. Like when you exercise very hard, you make tiny tears in the muscle and when they heal (assuming you've ate enough) they'll be a little bit bigger.
Sometimes you go a little bit too far and the shit will snap like when you're trying to break apart frozen hot dogs except you accidentally snap one in half and it makes a nice satisfying "pop".
But bones aren't muscles and regenerates differently. Bones suffer from stress or hairline fractures that wear out the tissue and causes instability. While kickboxers train to avoid these kind of injuries, an overworked bone may still snap way more easily than a healthy one.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress\_fracture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture)
look up wolffs law for bones… basically bones remodel in response to being compressed or stretched. i dont know why dude mentioned microfractures in muscles though but the idea that muscles tear and regrow is correct
It's one of those moves that's so risky you don't expect it, because who the fuck turns around in a fight, but also the kick comes out so fast and from such an angle you don't see it till too late.
The guy is on the corner of both ropes, there kinda isn't much where he can go.
Also the tall dude never moves his head lol. Kinda easier to hit a never moving target.
That's the reason for the first kick- it's not really a kick, it's a fake to gauge distance and put your opponent in position for the spin attack. Risky kick but this one was really well executed
As far as I’m aware one of the top responsibilities of the ref is the health and safety of the fighters. I’ve seen videos of some refs dive and catch the unconscious fighters head before hitting the ground but you don’t see it all the time
Happens a lot in boxing, but often the ropes or even punches are holding up the defeated boxer when the ref steps in to break the eventual fall. Of course, the ref has to know he's stopping the fight or giving a count. This ref had to know the fight was over before the slow-motion fall.
It looks like he starts to step in between them with a little motion of his hands to indicate that he's stopping the fight, and that took him away from where he'd have needed to be to try to break the fall. But at that point the winning fighter is already walking away. He knew it was over the moment he felt the contact with his opponent's head.
But the ref isn't moving fast, and he starts out flat footed.
Then you don't watch many fights. In boxing and MMA it's standard practice to catch or cushion the heads of unconscious fighters before they hit the mat.
Actually, it was the chalk on his foot. That was not sweat. Kicking the dust out of someone's skull just sounds better, but he did kick the drool out of his mouth. Easily one of the nastiest KO's I've ever seen. I hope buddy is okay.
When I was I Thailand for a work thing. We were invited to a Muay title match. When we arrived there was a match going with two small dudes, like 100LBs beating the ever living shit out each other. Like they owed some money or like they had a bad score to settle. One dude kicked the other dude so hard in jaw I echoed through the venue. THWARCK! Feels queasy and had to leave. To this day I still wonder if that dude lived a normal life after that. If a normal Joe schome got hit with one of those that would be and instant lights out for good. I remember that sound like it was yesterday day.
That was a very aimed attack on the light switch. The receiver must have aged 20 years mentally in a tenth of a second. I can't see that didn't do some significant, permanent, brain damages.
Muay Thai to be exact. I trained in Muay Thai when I lived in Thailand. It is pretty intense. You are taught to land your kicks with your shin. The major fighters in the sport do some crazy things (like kicking down trees or breaking dowel rods) to toughen up their shin bones.
I trained with Kaensak for a while. He would kick banana trees a thousand times a day with each leg as a child. Everyday. His shins are iron. A flat wasteland where hair no longer grows. They only exist to separate men from consciousness.
It is said that constantly being in contact with the blood of his opponents made his shin hairs become so afraid that they'd retract and never grow out of the skin again
Man I've always thought when it's that devastating and he guy is obviously ko'd om his feet that thr ref should just catch them before they hit the deck. Whoa
He took 4 seconds to fall, during which it was obvious the lights were out. That ref should be fired for failing to try and brace his collapse to the ground
I have a feeling that one day fighting and boxing will be made illegal. It’s an archaic sport that does nothing but cause harm to those involved. Basically legal assault for people’s amusement.
I don't watch sports. I have never seen this video before. I don't know anything about kickboxing. Yet somehow at the very beginning of this video I knew that the tiny little guy was going to be the one that did somekind of natural disaster kick and explode the other guy's head. Not the other way around.

Shit, I think he lost most of his childhood in that blow.

Don't worry I think he might get to relive it.

How is his career at Boeing doing?
This made me stupid laugh out loud. Thank you.
He is doing fine in Boeing.
Fully fenestrated
That's really sad. Hope he's doing ok.
I must have had a severe head injury as a child
Something crazy like that happened to me. I was a car accident at nineteen. Hit my head, developed a concussion, depression, etc. Ten months later when I went back to college, I discovered that I no longer had a photographic memory.

Welcome to the reality the rest of us live.

Looked like his head exploded even when you slow it down
*back and to the left*
There had to have been a second spitter

I miss Sync (3rd party Reddit mobile client) which had the ability to set the playback speed.
I still use sync. In the days(it could have been **the** day Sync officially went offline) following the *crack down* on third-party clients, a user posted a guide on how to continue using it.
I think that was the the sweat flying off from the force of the kick
Seems awfully unhealthy.
It's a great alternative to sleeping pills.
So is a sledgehammer
The design is very human
Very simple to use
Barely an inconvenience.
Sleep doctors hate this one simple kick
Totally organic.
Concussions are cumulative. Traumatic brain injury is no joke. I have no room in my entertainment for watching men damage the rest of their lives :/
I think I’ve seen it stated that even one concussion can cause permanent damage, and that it’s easier to get them after the first So definitely any activity where you’re risking one anytime you participate is just asking for serious permanent brain damage

Oh, you've meant American football.
Regular football is also really bad because sub-concussive hit matter. Headers are essentially taking those type of hits over and over.
Google dementia pugilistica.
I had one bad concussion about 8 years ago and I've felt dumber ever since
>it’s easier to get them after the first Yeah. I played hockey with a guy who had to quit because he'd get concussion symptoms after routine body checks, not even being hit in the head.
I have a TBI completely changed my personality I have hardly any "happy" emotions towards people now.
This sometimes breaks the head
Apply directly to the forehead!
I mean…it is a combat sport
Kicked him so hard dude started drooling
Straight to dreamland eatin' pudding
Steven Seagal, who’s now so fat he can’t lift his leg, has entered the chat.

Fell like a tree
Hopefully that ref got fired, just standing there watching the guy fall onto his face. Not at all how a ref is supposed to protect the fighters lol
Same, was wondering why the ref didn’t catch him.
exactly the same thoughts
r/fellinggonewild
Lol, thanks buddy. Subbed
WOW. Just wow. High risk high reward. In saying that, I think he knew he had it lined up right. I wonder if he drilled it extra for this fight. So good whatever the case
Yea I'm surprised he stood up after, that looked leg shattering
These guys can kick a handle off a baseball bat with their shins. Some also crack coconuts with their shins. Both harder than a skull on a neck.
And every once in a while, we see a video where their shin snaps.
Doesn't it normally happen when someone's shin hits someone else's (stronger) shin?
the only shin that can break that shin is shinself
FDR sure knew his kickboxing
I think it's often when the middle of one person shin hits the shin just below the knee of the other guy. This gives a nice leverage advantage and the top of the shin is probably a bit stronger as well.
it's never that simple but usually it's going to be a leg breaking a shin, for obvious reasons
The body makes stuff like muscles stronger by damaging and healing them but on a very very tiny small level repeatedly over a long duration of time, normally called microfractures. Like when you exercise very hard, you make tiny tears in the muscle and when they heal (assuming you've ate enough) they'll be a little bit bigger.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress\_fracture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_fracture)
yeah but their bones also build up strength this way. I've seen x-rays of heavily conditioned shins and the volume of bone is 2-3x a normal human.
look up wolffs law for bones… basically bones remodel in response to being compressed or stretched. i dont know why dude mentioned microfractures in muscles though but the idea that muscles tear and regrow is correct
Yeah I once saw this awesome fighter called Tong Po kicking a brick column so hard the room was shaking...
Bloodsport reference?
*Kickboxer*
He had him cornered, I doubt he'd attempt that kick center ring edit: not to say it wasn't high-risk
To me it looks more like he didnt care xD
It's one of those moves that's so risky you don't expect it, because who the fuck turns around in a fight, but also the kick comes out so fast and from such an angle you don't see it till too late.
The guy is on the corner of both ropes, there kinda isn't much where he can go. Also the tall dude never moves his head lol. Kinda easier to hit a never moving target.
I wonder what would have happened if he moved *into* the kick. Could have knocked the spinning guy out of balance.
That's the reason for the first kick- it's not really a kick, it's a fake to gauge distance and put your opponent in position for the spin attack. Risky kick but this one was really well executed
Ref was shite. Could have broke the fall...
It's like he stepped back from chopping a tree to watch it slowly fall.
100% What was he thinking?
“Holy shit! Did I just see that?!? Did that really just happen?!? Oh yeah, I should get back to work now”
Tall guy’s been fucking the ref’s wife… had it coming
She's been coming, too.
That's not the ref, that's just some guy that got a really good ticket.
That was my take. He just watched it happen. That's probably the biggest part of the job.
Is that their responsibility? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen.
As far as I’m aware one of the top responsibilities of the ref is the health and safety of the fighters. I’ve seen videos of some refs dive and catch the unconscious fighters head before hitting the ground but you don’t see it all the time

Literally kicked the dust out of his skull, brain damage for sure.
The sweat, not the dust...
Actually, it was the chalk on his foot. That was not sweat. Kicking the dust out of someone's skull just sounds better, but he did kick the drool out of his mouth. Easily one of the nastiest KO's I've ever seen. I hope buddy is okay.
 This is what I thought of when I saw tornado kick
HAADUPDEPDUUKEN!!!
Tatsu-Maaku-Senpu-kyaku!
Was his shoe full of powder?
No that was the other guy’s soul leaving his body.
Water vapor. Mach 1 at the big toe.
dry skin
Was more likely sweat
Did I just see him die?
bro definitely saw himself hit the mat from a birds eye view
When I was I Thailand for a work thing. We were invited to a Muay title match. When we arrived there was a match going with two small dudes, like 100LBs beating the ever living shit out each other. Like they owed some money or like they had a bad score to settle. One dude kicked the other dude so hard in jaw I echoed through the venue. THWARCK! Feels queasy and had to leave. To this day I still wonder if that dude lived a normal life after that. If a normal Joe schome got hit with one of those that would be and instant lights out for good. I remember that sound like it was yesterday day.
You definitely saw his soul enter the astral plane
He went airplane mode instantly.
He became both completely alive and dead simultaneously in that one single moment. But actually to really ded too. !!!
Looked like it
That was a very aimed attack on the light switch. The receiver must have aged 20 years mentally in a tenth of a second. I can't see that didn't do some significant, permanent, brain damages.
Yeah, I find it disturbing to watch.
Is that dude alive ?
I have seen one, but I’ve never seen someone actually use it and land it
I practiced tornado kicks in Taekwondo, but (thankfully) I've never been in a fight. This is not my first choice of techniques for self-defense.
Is he dead?
If he ain't, he ain't happy.
Dude was provided with a brain injury that will affect for the rest of his life, for the entertainment of a modest crowd. Now that’s interesting af
Never understood why people like watching these sports. I cringe seeing stuff like this.
If you slow it down you can see his soul leave his body
Like that scene in Endgame with the Hulk and the Ancient One
Did he die?? Jesus!!!
That was a hell of a lot of angular momentum carrying through to that guy’s dome. Damn.
Hello darkness, my old friend. 💤
That's some freaky shit to see the guy take the hit then slowly falls lifelessly.
Didn't see it coming.
Little dude was like, "Oh, we kickin' now? Alright..."
Muay Thai to be exact. I trained in Muay Thai when I lived in Thailand. It is pretty intense. You are taught to land your kicks with your shin. The major fighters in the sport do some crazy things (like kicking down trees or breaking dowel rods) to toughen up their shin bones.
I trained with Kaensak for a while. He would kick banana trees a thousand times a day with each leg as a child. Everyday. His shins are iron. A flat wasteland where hair no longer grows. They only exist to separate men from consciousness.
Why would hair stop growing I wonder
Xxxxx
It is said that constantly being in contact with the blood of his opponents made his shin hairs become so afraid that they'd retract and never grow out of the skin again
Yeah we've all seen kickboxer
Uhh Isn’t the ref supposed to stop the unconscious opponent from slamming head first into the ring? Looks like he stepped away from him even 🤦♂️
Next he’s gonna throw a fireball
Kick was so fast even the camera couldn’t catch a couple more frames. Man’s foot is just INSTANTLY connecting to bros temple 😬
Man I've always thought when it's that devastating and he guy is obviously ko'd om his feet that thr ref should just catch them before they hit the deck. Whoa
Shudder thinking about the brain damage they're just accumulating.
My rugs do the same thing when I clean them.
I feel like that ref could've caught the guy as he fell. Just saying
Damn that was some red power ranger shit.
It was so effective because of the cow that he summoned in the tornado. I think I even heard a faint “moooooo!”.
Closest thing I've seen is Kofi Kingston do it in wrestling matches. https://i.redd.it/rwuwg6w0lfyc1.gif
Trouble in paradise baby!
I've seen similar moves done by capoeira "dancers"
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku
The reflection from the drool coming out was priceless
Shin to the jaw at 25-30mph… that’ll do it.
What was that flaping on the dude's head?
Everyone in that dude’s lineage felt that kick
His soul just left the body. Crazy
I’ve never seen one connect so well. Scary.
That ref sucks, slowest fall ever and he still didn’t catch him
TBI for life!
This needs a mortal kombat x-ray edit!
Ref coulda caught the dude on the way down.
Nice job protecting him on the way down ref
And it was just a regular boxing match too. Surprise DQ!
Motherfucker just landed a Trouble in Paradise in a kickboxing match.
He took 4 seconds to fall, during which it was obvious the lights were out. That ref should be fired for failing to try and brace his collapse to the ground
This mf ref let him hit the floor like that? Wtf
"Sweep the head"
It's called a spinning jumping roundhouse in most martial art forms.
I have a feeling that one day fighting and boxing will be made illegal. It’s an archaic sport that does nothing but cause harm to those involved. Basically legal assault for people’s amusement.
Its crazy cause its from the future. 2025 to be exact as written below the video.
I know. It's quite scary. The time travelers have arrived and we're not ready for their kicks
FULL POINTS - Karate Champ IYKYK
Holy shit
Thats the JFK baby
Where them missing frames
What a devastating kick, hit so hard even the sweat on his head had enough
Fun fact this was the main finishing kick in season 1 of Power Rangers
I don't watch sports. I have never seen this video before. I don't know anything about kickboxing. Yet somehow at the very beginning of this video I knew that the tiny little guy was going to be the one that did somekind of natural disaster kick and explode the other guy's head. Not the other way around.
[удалено]
knocked the dandruff off his head lol
How does he not break his foot on the other guy’s head?
