my line of work means I can't go in with black eyes or cuts or anything like that...aside from that I'm very concious about brain health and like the idea of wearing a head guard in mma sparring for extra protection...head gear combined with strict technical sparring only seems like a smart way to train.
a lot of people who I train with say it has absolutely no benefit with regards to reducing head impact and some think it even makes it worse...is the any evidence to back these claims up?
what are the pro's and con's to wearing headgear in your opinion?
