Rhuarc Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 Hi. I am new here. I am a blue belt in WTF Taekwondo. Have any of you been seriously injured because of martial arts? For example, torn ligament, fractures, etc. Share your experiences here. Right now, I am at home nursing a left scrotal hematoma (which is as nasty as it sounds). I received it courtesy of a back thrust to the groin. I was admitted to the hospital, went through panels of doctors, an ultrasound scan, police interviews and finally discharge with a 3 week rest at home. A word of advice to everyone here: A groin guard is really important. I have been through the pain and that is my experience. This is my first time posting so I hope I don't offend anyone, especially if this has already been posted before. Still, share your experiences and thanks!
ZR440 Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 Sorry to hear about your damaged goods. Welcome to the Forums. I never had anything serious happen. Worst thing was probably a sprained shoulder. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
SaiFightsMS Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 Sounds pretty nasty. I have actually seen very few injuries in the dojo. When we have students come in injured it is usually from basketball.
Looneyas Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Im nursing a few strained Muscles, but thats due to home training not at the Dojo, I have recieved a broken big toe, Now that hurt like yesterday Learn and u shall TeachTeach and you shall learn,https://www.southpacifictkd.com.au
Blue Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Broken wrist while sparring Couple of groin pulls. I dunno for some reason your injury sounds worse. D-mn ! That must've hurt !
iolair Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Cracked toe in Judo randori - this beginner was struggling so I decided to let him throw me. But he threw me while standing on my toe, part of which therefore tried to stay behind! Ouch! Currently: Kickboxing and variants.Previously: Karate (Seido, Shotokan, Seidokan), Ju Jitsu, Judo, Aikido, Fencing.
ramymensa Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 A sprained shoulder (the same I "took care" off when hit by a car and made to fly from the bicycle). I did the "good thing" while performing a kata (heian godan). I put too much passion It hurts World Shotokan Karate

KickChick Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Hi Rhuarc .... Stop by Introductions and tell us more about yourself (besides your injuries!) I understand you're from Singapore. I am very familiar with the ITF TKD there but not with WTF (sorry) Please tell us more! I also answered your WTF forms question in the Korean Arts Forum. Looking forward to your posting there also. Many more injury reports here: http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1510 http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1273 http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=488
ZR440 Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 Aw crud. I spoke too soon. Praticed falling techniques a little too much the other day and now I have rib subluxation. Hurts when I breath, sneeze, tie my shoes, anything that requires ab rotation. And I have a test in less than a week! It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
