A Dec. 3, 2012 article by PBS names a study that shows repetitive head injuries are linked to degenerative brain disease. It's called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CET). Thye show that atheletes such as footbal players who get hit in the head frequently appear to be susceptible.
Kenpo people like to hit each other and head shots are fair game, with control. Boxers, kickboxers, MMA people who take frequent hits should be aware of this. 4,000 former NFL players are suing the NFL about this.
Wear your headgear and watch your control.
