injuries galore!

[Coco]

Yeah, but those things werent intended to happen, its not like one guy said to himself "im gonna elblow this guy's nose and leave him beeding!", stuff like these happens, noones perfect, you can lose balance, or your arm can slip from the other persons defence. This donst happen much, but it looks like on ae's case it all happened in one night!

such things are not alowed in my dojo...never would my sensei let people fight without gear,

Really, never at any grade? Don't you feel you lose some of the fear factor here. People move faster if they know they may get bumped. Anyway what about no/light contact sparring?

and never to the brutality to be breaking bones niehter would the people in my dojo go this hard on somone for absolutily no purpose.

It's a martial art, accidents will happen (with or without wrapping yourself in bubblewrap). I've had several knocks, 2 knockouts and cracked ribs, all of which were accidents.. but hey, I didn't take up aerobics, there was nothing malicious in intent and I healed and went back.

at my dojo we believe you can train more if your not in the hospital.

Depends what kind of training you want. None of my injuries have put me into hospital as an in-patient... none have affected my training for really long periods of time... but you can bet your bottom dollar I get out of the way if I see a Mae-Geri coming in now!

Yes, it's amazing how a ding round the head can suddenly sharpen a persons reflexes!

The worst pain I ever felt was when me and my tranning partner where sparring and I didn't lead with my first two knukles and i got a boxers facture. Just like that, i was out for a month.
