I'm studying at a univetsity and I want to begin to do sports. I want to do kickboxing, but I'm afaraid of to get strong hand blow to head bucause due to it I can get concussion of the brain which may cause my mental abilities to deteriorate. I don't want it because I also want to become a good programmer, but because of this, the chances of becoming a good programmer will be much less. I need to be strong to protect people close to me. I really can't live in peace having a thought that if my people need protect I will not be able to provide it to them. I don't want to be a weak man, but I also don't want to be a stupid man. Pls, gimme an advisement.

Yes true, but do Aikido instead. For example.

Or some even less violent sport.

Or some even more violent hobby but who's not inferring too much brain damage, like chess.

If you want to develop your coordination, aikido is fine. If you want to protect yourself, aikido is worthless.

If you're not a fighter type you might freeze up whatever sport you do in the wrong situation.
