Virtually every example of a "big hit" in that video ends with the person who got hit showing the fencing response (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing_response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing_response). That body pose indicates a pretty severe concussion.
In fact, the most popular video on YouTube about the fencing response has a shocking amount of overlap with the "big hits" video you shared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlXjwAlOflA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlXjwAlOflA
Frankly, your video was kind of hard to watch. It's basically 3 minutes of people getting their brains rattled in their skulls.
