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.

Instead of kickboxing you could try splitting your time between running, and strength training. Cardio will help with the sedentary nature of university course work, and strength training (weight lifting) will provide greater muscle control and definition. As long as you don't over do either, you should be able to defend yourself, and your loved ones, while remaining fit and healthy. These are also good habits to develop so that you can continue after your time at your university is complete....just my .02
