xp_artie1) if you are fighting someone and you hit them in the head - even if you are sparring - you will cause traumatic brain injuries. these are otherwise known as brain damage.
that is what a concussion is. brain damage. multiple non concussive hits will also cause brain damage.
2) if you hit someone in the head with the aim of knocking them out, there is a chance that you will kill them. this is significantly higher than you would expect. if you do not hit them hard enough to kill, they might just kill you anyway.
3) this may not bother you if your options are: they die, they have potential life long brain injuries or you die and you would prefer to stay alive.
4) however, if your goal is generally not killing people, you should probably remember that any method of making a person unconscious in the field contains far higher risks of killing someone than you would expect, actually.
addendum: 5) the mansion and all teams located within it would likely be happier, healthier and more emotionally balanced if most people around here were not actually suffering some degree of post concussion syndrome.
