Wow many to state
Apart from several small bruises...
A dislocated index finger
Tendonitis in my feet
Fractured toe
ruptured veins
Inflammed pleura (lining of the lungs)which eventually got me admitted to the hospital
All this in such a short experience with martial arts
I wonder wat will happen to me till i reach black belt... (probably dead)
This thread reminds me of the Police Academy or Lethal Weapon 3 skit
Yeah. It also reminds me of the part in Jaws where the two guys are comparing scars: "You see this one ....Thresher shark scraped me while taking samples."

I'm pretty sure I have a few hairline type fractures. Oh well comp is in 10 days, I'm not pulling out at this point. I just want to fight someone that doesnt belong to my dojang.

Even the best of men are capable of the most disgusting evil. Just as the most evil man is capable of showing kindness.
Do not be fooled into thinking your enemy's sin is worse than yours, or that your's is better than his.
Yeah. It also reminds me of the part in Jaws where the two guys are comparing scars: "You see this one ....Thresher shark scraped me while taking samples."
Yeah, and what did the scientist show of his scar?
Several broken and sprained toes, sprained fingers, concussion, whiplash, hurt back, bruises, whacked in the nose- thank goodness didn't break, poked in the eyes many times. Martial Arts you can really get hurt when people don't know what they are doing or slip. I actually got smacked in the nose by a black belt when he went just a little too far. I was only a blue belt at the time. He was embarrased. I guess it happens to the best of us.
Nose: Broken 7 times, deviated septum on right side.
Face: Broken right cheek bone, broken jaw, scar tissue under right eye.
Ears: Cauliflower inside left ear, not bad though. I wear head protection pretty much all the time because I want to stay pretty
Ribs: Broke a bunch. LOL didn't where else to go with that one.
Leg: Left knee replacement, ACL and MCL replaced with cadaver tendons.
Brain: Completely useless after all these years
Ummm, damn. I doubt that I could keep going after a third of all that. I gotta know, which injury hurt the most when it happened? Which one was the worst as far as dealing with the prescribed treatment.

Yes definately ouch and makes any of my injuries look like nothing. Hope you are alright after all of these. Trish
Thanks, yeah I'm fine. I still train fighters on a daily basis and am hoping to make a come back to competing at the age of 33 this winter. I haven't fought since 05 due to injuries, now the biggest problem is getting back down to my walk weight of 190lbs so that I can cut to 170lbs for a fight. Because there is no way my 5'9" self is fighting at heavy weight
