Let me go Off Topic for another neat story o’ my life

Yeah, go ahead make fun of my genitals…
As long as girls dont make fun of it im cool :smiley:

But let me think… it did happen… oh ****
In high school this philosophy teacher (female) was saying stuff like the size is invertedly proportional to the height of the dude…
She was saying short guys are big and tall guys are small, you know what i mean…
I was the taller guy on the class…
This girl look at me and do a little laugh thing…
I get embarassed and try to go like: “No, no, no, im exeption to the rule!!” My cries were not heard, oh ****

I took a number of kicks to the nads back in my TKD days. That’s mostly because we didn’t train defending this area. Once was the worst, it was in the State point-tournement, I was 16. I had a point sparring move where I would start in a left stance, jump up while throwing a turning kick (roundhouse) with my rear leg to the face. Shocked most opponents. Well, the guy I was fighting was losing, when I did the kick he rolled onto his back and shot his leg up deliberately. Bam! There go my nuts, even though I had a cup on. I was on the floor for about 10 minutes, people kept telling me to get up, I couldn’t. Eventually they picked me up and took me to another room, where I slowly recovered. I was told that I might p!ss blood, but I didn’t. The kicker was, they bowed me out of the next fight, I took the bronze medal, the guy who won gold was a guy I had beaten to win another tournement. Incidently, he kicked me in the bals too in that one, but I was able to continue.

Anyway my stuff still works, my wife is pregnant. :wink:

Good Forum!

I’ve been hit many times but 2 stand out in memory.

The first was when I was learning a Shaolin Staff form and the teacher bounced his staff off the floor.

I said “What’s that for?”
He said “This!”
And bounced his staff straight off the floor into my nuts. Unetical way of teaching but I’ve never forgotten the technique or it’s effectiveness!

The second time was when I was learning a 2 man form I didn’t fung Sau properly and the other guys finger went straight into my eye. That hurt!
It was absolute agony and I couldn’t see for a few days. Every time I tried to open my other eye I would feel the damaged eye scratching and in the end has to accept temporary blindness. Oddly enough whilst my girlfriend was leading me down the road one day I heard a familiar voice say “What happened to you?” I realised it was someone I used to teach Kung Fu to, expaining was very humbling. Recently I had an eye test and there’s no permenant damage which is good. And the other guy? He taught me a valuable lesson about protecting my self properly which I am very grateful for.

One fight I was in at a local park the guy came in at me and threw a very awkward rounded punch I ducked under it and came up with my right fist in his eye. He fell backwards landed on the ground, sat a few minutes, got back up and came at me again. When he came at me, he threw another round punch and I was going in for the attack and missed blocking it and it landed on my left ear. I couldn’t hear anything out of that ear, and my balance was completely shot from it, and we continued fighting and I was wobbling all over the place. Eventually I had to call it quits because I couldn’t hear and could barely stand up straight but I was winning till he hit me in the ear, which hurts worse then getting hit straight in the face IMO.

I stepped into the arc of a spinning back fist and took the hit on the check bone. My vision went completely black, but I didn’t go unconscious. Scotty outweight me by 75 pounds, and was swinging pretty **** hard. Needless to say I dont take my eyes off him anymore.

tko’ed

jeez, i’ve been hit hard more times than i should probaly admit to but what the hell, here a few good ones:

  1. tried to break up a street brawl that a kung fu brother of mine started with this iranian gang (bad idea), 2 of us against 5 big guys (bad idea trying to be diplomatic at that point, better to just fight and worry about it later most of the time), got sucker punched from the side by this huge iranian dude, my teeth went tru the side of my cheek and i got a lite concussion, and then got pounded by various punches and headbutts while i was in la-la-land and just trying to keep moving and cover cause i was out of it. i never went down (all fights dont end up on the ground like people say) and regained some sense and fought enough to prevent getting killed, got a guy in a standing arm lock i told him i would break it…then the police came and put us all in lockup.
  2. jaw dislocated by a kick and saw stars sparring a kung fu guy. couldnt close my mouth for a week, that was weird…
  3. knocked out by kick to the head when i tried to sweep a kung fu brother of mine in class. was spaced out for days afterwards, my girlfriend thought i was on drugs and kept asking me what i took and what was wrong, but i had short-term memory loss and i couldnt remember what happened for a while so i really didnt know, she called my sifu and was like ‘did something happen at class?’ and he’s like ‘oh yeah, he got knocked out, don’t worry about it’ … hahaha

the foot slip

had a little slip in a tkd tourney once and fell a little forward, and i came right back into a hook kick to the back of my head. i went black at the time, but my pals told me my head (cage and all) bounced when it hit the floor. concussion land, yes. hazy for several days. my teacher asked me the same drug question. i just took her hand, put it on the bump on the back of my head and she said, “oh, ****, nevermind.”

Three biggest ones that stand out in my mind right now, either rated by pain, how scared I was or just a close call.

  1. During a training blade drill I was faced off with a unkown Savate player who I had never met before at my JKDC club and it was going very well in my favor for a good while intell close the gap with a thrust and reaped him onto the mat.

After he landed on his ass I went down to finnish him off with my training knife, something I would never have done if I was freakin thinking correctly, and he lauched a kick from the ground at my right leg which connected directly with the side of my knee joint.

Lets just say my joint went as far as it could go and down I fell in amazing pain. It took a few mintues for me to get up and I could no longer continue the class, my knee swelled up for a few days, the pain was very intense, but after a few weeks I could handle the training again, but I was carefull with the pace.

Lets just say I was very scared of a busted joint as those things haunt you for life and to make matter worse I had already suffered problems in that exact same knee from some old Ying Jow Pai training.

  1. I broke three ribs during a grappling session at the same school when a guy much heavier then me was able to get out of my attempted submission and rolled himself onto the “spear” of my ribcage with all of his weight to escape and counter.

Well, lo and behold, I found out a needed more milk.

The sound still reminds me of when you break one of those ruffled potato chips in half. That was some serious pain.

  1. This one was during a fight a few years back where I had clinched up with a drunk ***** in hallway. He was mouthing off and getting way to close for my comfort, I went into the clinch, slammed a knee right into his testicles and excepted him to go right down.

He grunted hard, bent halfway over and instead of falling to his knees he grapped my waist, picked me halfway up, and rammed me down the hall into a open bedroom.

On the way I landed a rapid combination of rabbit punches to the guys face, forehead and temple but that did not do **** at the time.

Hitting the ground he SUNK his teeth into my thigh, right next to my own family jewels, not just sunk but clamped on, more punches did not loosen him up, neither did a eye rake, two guys I did not know pulled him off me and escorted him out of that part of the house.

Let me tell you that you could almost see the ridges on the bruised teeth marks the next day.

Alochol will do wonders for a persons pain tolerance. I did see the guy the next day though and his forehead looked like a watermellon had grown out of the side of it. You could burst it wilth a pin.

Almost made me feel bad for him. That is intell I realized what he could of been chewing.

Probably the worst for me was a right cross dead on
my nose. Me and a former fellow student use to
get together and train sometimes, and boxing was one
of the things we would do. Anyhow we would go on and
on always blocking and evading each other’s punches
and my patience ran out, I wanted to finish him off so
I went at him with all I was worth throwing haymakers
and the like. He countered with, you guessed it, a right
cross right on my nose which sent me staggering.
The blood started gushing and I asked him to go get me
some tissue :cool: .
Then I believe it was the week after, the exact same thing
happened :smiley: . Both times I acted like it was nothing,
but it sure did hurt.

Morale of the story: Blind aggression can be bad.

You know when to quit when?

This story should really be titled “You know you got you’re butt kicked when…….

The day before my royal ass whooping I had exchanged some chin music (unpleasant words) with an ape-man. The next day I was at a bar, when I got up to hit the can, I turned the corner and WHAM! The mother of all sucker punches hits me in the face. I was covered in blood from head to toe, nose split wide open and defiantly broken. There I stood, swooning like a top! I don’t know how long I stood there, but it seemed forever. The funny thing is when I finally got my senses back the guy (the apeman from the day before) just stood there watching and laughing at me. Finally, I shook it off. (I don’t know how I didn’t pass out) I got my composure and said with bravado “Your ass is mine now *****!” and began to drive in with my own “mother of all haymakers”

Now here is where the story gets freaky!

There was a lady nearby, who was watching the whole thing go down. When she saw that I was going to retaliate, she jumped in-between us and yelled “Stop fighting!” with her arms held high. just like that chick on Saturday night live, i.e. the school girl who sniffs her armpits

Aww what a saint ……yea right! She stood by and let this cave man force feed me his fist and then when it was my turn, decided to get all noble ………Bull****

Blam!

I accidentally hit her right in the side of the head with everything I had as she jumped inbetween us (remember I was aiming for the gorilla who just jumped on me) I swear she was air born.

Crash!

She toppled into a bunch of people like a bowling ball hitting the pins. Before I new it I was grappling with the huge ape dude, Somehow I wound up on top of him in some funky arm bar and half girlyman hair pull thing, while at the same time slamming his head against the concrete floor. Just as his eyes were beginning to role back into his head,

Blam!

I was power mojo kicked in the ribs.

Then I was kicked again by someone else, then I was punched, then kicked, then punched again etc.

I was mobbed, pimp style!

What had happen was the people who saw me strike the lady went ghetto berserk !

(It didn’t help that she was dating a guy who recently got into an auto accident and lost the use of his legs ……Ah… you could say she had public support on her side…and yes, her boy friend was well known and liked to to these people)

I was pulled off my assailant, by the mob and dragged to up the stairs by my hair, coat and belt. Thud thud went the sound of my back on the stairs. People were throwing bear, liquor and god knows what else on me, also kicking me and somone even stomped on my groin! Finally, I was tossed out of the backdoor of the bar on a bunch of stinking garbage.

There I was, bloodied and reeking with beer and the smell of garbage!

Since then I’ve broken bones, major cuts and been into many a fight…(Hell, one time I put a drill through my hand …the bit snapped causing the jagged end, still in the drill, to go through my palm in one side and out the other….yea that ****in hurt!)

But I never had anything hurt as bad as my pride did after that night in that bar

Always stay on your guard and know when to fight and when to back down!
