When im sparring and take a blow on the jaw I get a sharp head-ache like pain in the back of my head for around 30 seconds to a minute. Worried my brain might me banging against my skull. Is this normal??

The feeling sounds normal enough to me. However, don't take this stuff lightly. If you're worried, ask a doctor.

It is normal to have that feeling when struck in the jaw. It absolutely can cause a concussion. Too many of those are dangerous. Try to block those strikes.

Ok thanks. So no need to worry. My neck is often very stiff after sparring too. I need to relax more

Yea, this is normal but it's called a concussion too many of them can take you out of contact activity and do brain damage for life.

Sounds about normal. You're wearing a mouthpiece, right?

If you are being struck hard enough, then you may be getting light concussions. You may want to consult your doctor.

Yes. It's normal. That's why Boxers aim for the jaw! Knockout City!!! Be careful!
