JusticeZero Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 The only exceptions for me (when it has come to meeting people in person) (included) an Aikidoka (of all people!) who did his level best to harm me at a party. Guess he still felt he had something to prove?I never feel safe or let my guard down around people who practice any sort of "pacifistic" martial art. Occasionally you find one with a sadistic, passive-aggressive, vicious streak that runs deep, who will do horrible, cruel things and completely divorce themself from the act. They just can't hold their evil, I guess..Myself, the worst i've done was to step up and into a front thrust heel kick, and catch it between the legs with my weight high. Picked me up and launched me into a nearby wall. Didn't really care at the time, it didn't hurt until a minute after I sat back down. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia
bushido_man96 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I trained with both of these guys for several years after & neither would ever tell me who threw the kick.Man, that's just wrong! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
bushido_man96 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Alex hit me with a combo like this when I was a teenager. At least that's how I remember it.I'll bet the landing really sucked. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Shizentai Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Well, I don't know how or when it happened exactly, but I'm pretty sure that the perfect little hole ripped in the abdominal wall of my solar plexus has something to do with the copious amounts of chudan strikes I've sustained during training with my senpai lately. My doctor was baffled, said he'd never seen anything like that before. LOL! It doesn't hurt though, just looks funny when I wear a bathing suit. Honestly, I was worried that tonight was going to be terrible. We did an hour-long demo for a local college. Being that I am among the best at falling in my dojo, I was selected at the last moment to fill-in as the primary assailant for a set of self defense drills. When we arrived at the place for the demo, I realized that it was a concrete floor. Fun times. Then I has holding some boards at head level (always terrifying), then I was asked to do a kumite demonstration, then another, and another. All in all not too bad though, just one bruise on my elbow.Truth be told, I've broken bones and torn ligaments, even had concussions, but never since I started training. I was just a clumsy kid. In fact, I feel safer in the dojo than I do in my own home! "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro
