Does taking shots build up your chin?

[Kagami Taiga]

all takin shots does for you is cause u brain damage. u cant build up your chin. either u have one or you dont. neck muscles helps u absorb blows but thats about it.

no need 2 call me ******, im just starting and curious. Who knows i thought maybe its like dulling the nerves in your knuckles or something like that where if u constantly hit it, the area heals up and is stronger.. And maybe you missread the question. Im not taking hits and putting myself at risk on purpose.. I just wanted 2 kno if its benifiting me to be in these wars and making me stronger or if u just have a certain amount of them u can be in and then ur a shot fighter.

Nah nah, I ain't trying to call you ******. I just think that's a ****** idea. Because anything else on this earth if you hit it, does it make it tougher? maybe you can hit it and it not take damage like I said and just build confidence in hitting it again, but I think your just putting yourself in jeopardy taking more shots then necessary.

Got mad respect for dudes in the boxing game! Much love and respect dude.

Now i know getting knocked out could ruin a chin, but i also know Ali was in war after war n his chin seemed 2 hold up fine. Im starting now and my trainer has been putting in me in with 30 yr old pros and ive been slugging it out with them and just been in some brutal wars. I just turned 19 and started training in sept. Do you think this is building up my chin or just taking something out of me?

Getting your brain rattled is never good for you.

Yeah it's probably okay for you to get your clock rung every once in a while so you know what it feels like, and you know that you can take it.

But taking repeated punishment just for the sake of "trying to build up your chin" is ****ing ******.

Look at Fernando Vargas.

of course it gets you used to taking punches. you don't wanna be in a fight that counts the first time you take a good shot. Experience is important. Watch Pac sparring and he always lets his opponents land their best shots on him both to the body and head and then when he is in a fight he knows how to act and control himself when he gets caught.
