Martial_Artist Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 1. I study The Pure Art. 2. I have been studying this for 25 years. 3. I received a spear stab to my left lower abdomen ten years into training. A variety of blood-blisters from shinai. A machete cut to my right shin(19years into training). A broken nose. Spranged fingers. My most serious wound was a sword cut that severed two of my tendons and required surgery. A throwing knife injury to my forearm(15 years into training). Recently, (25 years into training) I don't get injured anymore. No broken bones. No joint injury. A billion bruises from sticks, fists, feet, and shinai. However, in retrospect, none of those injuries seemed severe at the time. I just took them as part of my training and trained harder. I learned much, a whole lot about energy management and control. That's about it. I don't expect many more injuries from training. EDIT: Spelling errors and typos.

monkeygirl Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 OuCh! Sounds like a few of us need some good long baths in Epsom Salts! I seem to have some bad luck in the dojo. Since the eye thing happened, though, I wear a face cage on my helmet. Keep 'em coming If there's a story behind your injury(s), feel free to elaborate! 1st dan & Asst.

karatekid1975 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Stories behind my injuries?? They are mainly the cause of showing off LOL. Except for the broken finger. I did that while we were doing kick-block drills. I pulled my left hammy twice because I was almost "forcing" myself to get flexible (I was not flexible at all at the time). In TKD, I pulled the right hammy during a board breaking class. We were allowed to pick what breaks we were going to do. I did two speed breaks (360, and speed punch), so one of the black belts said "do a jumping axe kick. You were in another style. I know you can do it." In this school, that was a BB break (I was only a yellow belt in TKD at the time). He dared me. So I did it. It was cool too. I went really high on my jump and did a perfect break (board) and rip (hammy). Good combo LOL ..... ouch! The jumping side kick thing happened cause I wasn't paying attention to how I was landing my kick. And I don't know exactly how I hurt my left leg again. It does have something to do with MA, though.
