A new book is out entitled The Concussion Crisis by Linda Carol and David Rosner. The subtitle is Anatomy of a Silent Epidemic. They write that football is the big one for concussions but that girls basketball suffers three times the boys concussions and girls soccer is twice the amount.
I've read no mentions of amateur martial arts being studied yet. We get punched and kicked in the head and thrown. Lots of opportunity for concussion. Instructors should be watchful, especially with kids.
I think it's just a matter of time before we get studied and then regulated.
