2nd Black Belt
Well, I didn't REALLY break him. I haven't sparred in almost a year, I've been working on physical conditioning to apply for the local PD and didn't want to risk getting injured. I'm in a waiting period since I didn't make the top group that went on for the background check, so the other night I declared as 'fight night' for advanced class and we spent an hour just sparring.
So I'm out there with this 14 yr old kid, he's a yellow belt, and I'm throwing half speed kicks, mostly blocking. I haven't sparred him, trying to see what he's got. What he has, apparently, is the ability to charge and impale himself on my side kick. Folded in half and dropped like a rock. We help him up and off to the side, and I'm looking at the black belt that was timing/watching. He said 'It's not you man, he went right into it'.
To the kids credit, after a minute he got back out and finished the round.
