Worrying about your chin??

[Ogecca MaMa]

In this forum I constantly see people asking questions about their chin, how to gain chin muscles and not to get knocked out easily.

Chin has nothing to do with it.

In this occasion your best friend has to be your vestibular apparatus. If you have any kind of problems with it, for example: yo u get dizzy easily riding roller coasters or have sea sickness, and you do boxing, 99% that you will get dropped by decent punch.

To develop your vestibular app isn't easy at all, you can practice and try hard though. Other than that, you can add more weight to your body, in order not to get ko'd, and this is other 1% of 100%. Chin and neck won't help you out

Truth.

That's why I always say it's not about strengthening your neck muscles. It's about the agility in your neck instead. If your head can turn quickly without your brain rattling, you won't get knocked out easily. If not, your gonna see the floor.

I can't handle any of those dizzying twirly rides, but ive taken a lot of good shots in my life and i still have yet to be rocked.

When Ogecca Mama speaks - I LISTEN. . . This makes a lot of sense. . . I think it's silly to believe that attaching weight plates to a chain and lifting your head up over and over again will make you take a better shot - might make your reflexes better to roll with punches or slip them, or lessen the chances of injury. . . but as far as just taking a clean punch it's not going to help.

Its an interesting theory. I'd like to know if any research has been carried out in this area.

But I'm another who gets seasick and hates fairground rides and being dizzy......but have never been dropped with a head punch. Maybe I'm secretly chinny but haven't been exposed by the right punch yet! Ha ha

Sorry guy, stronger neck usually result in sturdier chin.
Thats a fact.
Stronger neck make you able to absorb harder punches and not rattle your brain as easily.
Your balance has nothing to do with concussion lol.

A KO is often due to your brain saving your from brain damage after a concussion. That is why it is easier for you to get shutoff after you have been shutoff once.

I myself got my chin checked brutally last saturday by my former coach.
Hadn't sparred for over a half year and sparred with my coach full on.
Needless to say I got bombed with combination and the only thing that hurt the day after was my neck.
I get dizzy extremely easy when I turn around or get up to fast.
I also have a monster chin and have never been rocked, dropped or stunned when I sparred full-on so how does that work?

Stronger neck makes so that your head don't get moved by a punch as easily.
Make your head resist a bounce back after a punch that can get you rocked.
Good balance only make you able to stay standing while you are rocked not a better chin.
Ey Flicker! if your head moves around by a punch it makes it easier for you to get KTFO lol. Why would agility in your neck make you resistant to KO's?
How does it help to get your head whipped to the side by a punch?

I have trained my neck and Trapatsius to the point that my head barely get moved by punches and that is what I credit my granite chin to

bollacks. I can find specialists like you, who box every once in a year, and they "know what they are talking about"

so according to you neck is the key? I don't think we will find a compromise together, and with my English I won't be able to express myself.

A strong neck WILL help you to absorb punches better.

But if you get clipped on the sweet spot you will drop regardless.

If you do not see a shot coming your body/mind will not be able to brace for the impact.

I did a bunch of exercises for my neck, including the chain and weights, and I could take a hell of a shot. I was throwing fists with light heavy weight champions, heavyweight contenders and anybody inbetween, I was a jr. middleweight.

I didn't do this on a once a year level, I fought for about 14 years. You can build resistance to punches.
