Ever got hit to the face bare-fisted?

I have been side kicked in the nose, in a tournament. It didn't hurt a lot, but frustrated me. It was a good thing that it was the last point in the match, because I then headed to the bathroom to bleed for a time.

Years ago, when sparring gear was not required at tournaments, I took a few bare knuckle shots to the face. Surprisingly, I do not think it hurts as much as two people smacking their shins together.

Yup. It hurt like hell the first time.

Yeah I agree hit in the face doesn't hurt as bad as clashing shins together than junk hurts.

I've taken a few bare-knuckled punches to the face in training and sparring, never remember taking one in a fight (except maybe schoolyard fights when I was younger; don't really remember most of those).

The most memorable one was when I was younger and I got a tooth knocked out; luckily it was a baby tooth so it didn't really matter.

I mostly spar with gloves these days and try not to get into fights, so no bare-knuckled punches to the face recently.

I've been hit in the face, but worse than that was getting hit in the side of my head with a kubaton from my ex girlfriend!!! a kubaton that I gave her!!! That was the last time I cheated on her though, she dumped me straight away!!!

Getting punched in the face is something that happens to me a lot, my lil bro will just sucker punch me to get a fight started, also a kid who hates me has punched me quite a few times, first time I saw rainbow of colors.

Hhahaha, you're lucky, one of my ex's hit me with a cricket bat in the groin while I was sleeping... Because she thought I was cheating on her..

Any, in street fights yes, plenty of times! But not in a spar, a round-house kick to the head was suffice though..

Not square in the face but sometimes i have been caught at the side of my face with uraken while do sparring work, i have taken the occasional knock but nothing to serious
