sunchaser Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Hello, I'm new to the arts but have been participating in sports my whole life. For lack of a better way to describe it I tend to get knocked out easily. (I've seen many doctors and this is not a problem medically for me) My question is how common is it to get knocked out. Has anyone here been knocked out? Thanks Jill
Shotokan_Fighter Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 no i havnt ever been knocked out "When I fight, I fight with my heart,and soul. My heart, and soul is Shotokan Karate."Shotokan_fighters creed"karate has to come natural in a fight, if you have to think about using karate in a fight, you will loose the fight"3rd kyu brown belt - shotokan karate
SaiFightsMS Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Actually I have gotten knocked out several times. Unfortunately it was back in the days when I used a manual wheel chair. I had a bit of a lack of upper body strenght and sometimes had to struggle to go up ramps. Sometimes the ramp one and I flipped over backwards.
Shotokan_Fighter Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 sai fights that would hurt and suck to be knocked out that way. "When I fight, I fight with my heart,and soul.

shotokanwarrior Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 I have never been knocked out but i have been hit in the jaw when my mouth was open and i wish it did knock me out because it hurt. Where Art ends, nature begins.

CheekyMusician Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Well I've only been in martial arts for a year, but I've not been knocked out. Although once at Aikido a guy tossed me over his arm with a wee bit too much vigour and somehow I managed to land on my head. I didn't get knocked out, though, just sort of bounced off the ground head first. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
telsun Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Just the once, not whilst practicing MA though I hasten to add. Well sunchaser how many times have you been ko'd? Can you recall? I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!"
iolair Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 Seventeen years MA experience here - and I've never been knocked out, though I've been strangled unconscious twice (yeah, yeah, should have tapped first).
