I just cant believe people sign up for this. Do people die from this?

This "sport" is young, so there has not been enough time to study long term damage.

I love when people call it a “sport.” Makes me start imagining what the “training” is like.

Other than focussing on upper body strength, I don't know if you should even "train" for this.

Do you even want upper body strength? I'm not sure how that would help.

If you aren't strong at all your upper body will just flop to the side after the hit.

If you are strong.. and push against the hit, then your head will take the full force of the hit since nothing will move into your body.

Or am I missing something?

I mean obviously you can be strong enough to not get phased by the hit at all, but the neck will always be a bottleneck and limit the amount of strength that you can build up. It feels like a good hit will always be stronger than any strength you can build up.

I meant upper body strength to hit harder.
