Shotokan-kez Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm forever jamming my fingers through blocking with an open hand, resulting in me having to tape them up for a week...i will never learn! One time we were doing line sparring and the person defending had to block front kick. He blocked my kick but caught the inside of my knee. I don't know how but my vein popped right out and it was agony. The bruise went from the side of my knee right down to the top of my calf. Very strange injury and very painful! Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallgeese Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Schaphoid (navicualr) fracture in the wrist. From a wrist lock during sparring. It's a little bone in the wrist without much blood supply. I elected not to have it surgically reparied at the time due to competition and as such, missed the window to have it done effectively. Bummer of a mistake that was. Now I tell all the guys who I train with that fight... it's not worth it, get whatever fixed and compete later. Ah the wisdom of youth.... http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDPulver Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Sprained wrist from sai trainingBroke both pinkies on hand (damn those open hand blocks )Jammed almost every toe I have.Hyperextended my knee during kicking drills.Crushed my L4-L5 disc in my back, had to have it partially removed, was working on a kata in class and twisted and landed wrong. That one hurt the worst.Oh yeah, got a bloody lip from sparring one of the US Army karate team members when I was in high school, sensei invited them to our school.
