Sparring Accidents

The only thing I have is a bent pinky on my right hand that will not straighten out... I contribute to jamming it while blocking a kick... maybe a few lost brain cells from holding the kicking shield... frankly I'd rather be kicked sparring than holding that kicking shield... atleast you can attempt to counter the kick in sparring.

I wondered about it myself until I realize it sure beats playing golf. (no offense to golfers).
Matter of opinion on how much work/finances, workout time lost, leisure, and medical you have........ "FOUR" :)

(2) As a Brown belt sparring a Black belt, we both went to do round house kicks and simultaneously slammed each other’s shins that was also rather painful.


That happened to me last wednsday night. I was sparring a high red belt. This guy is known to not have much control, so I was hitting him as hard as he was hitting me. He backed off after I got him with a sweet roundhouse to the midsection and knocked the wind out of him (even with a chest protector on). He came at me again, and we both attemped to do a roundhouse at the same time, and connected shins ...... Ouch! We both have purple shins still (a week later) LOL

I also just remembered someone else who got injured. It wasn't during sparring, but breaking. He was testing for BB. He had to do a three board knife hand stike. Mind you, this guy was big and buff. I thought he would break those boards like a hot knife through butter .... Nope. He broke his hand instead (didn't use proper technique and rolled his hand).
