Uh, dunno if you're kidding buddy, but that's not blood. The color of a competition judo mat is orange-ish, arranged in a square with blue mats to show the out of bounds areas. Yes the guy in the white is landing on his head, but the focus should be on the blue guy. Took a bad fall from a hip throw, looks like uchimata to me. Anyway, his arm was broken (obviously) as his elbow went that-a-way instead of this-a-way.

I competed in high school... and we used generic floor mats. Unfortunately, my team got WAXED, myself included, so we never made it to the actual finals. I'm actually gonna start taking judo again, if the class in this area is good.

My skill with a sword is formidable. My skill with the s-word is flat-out lethal.

I got knocked out pretty bad in my first boxing match. I dropped my right hand and ate a left hook. I don't remember much of that whole day, but I have the video. It was brutal, I was taking a nap in the ring for almost a minute. I give the guy credit, it was a BEAUTIFUL punch, landed right on my jaw.

Probably during a boxing match. I got a nice, clean punch into the face so I blacked out, fell down for 5 seconds, got up, blacked out, fell down again for a while. Not once in my entire life have I had a broken or fractured bone though :)

Sucker "punched" with a champagne bottle. A coked-out guy, at a bar I was working at, clobbered me in the side of the face with the champagne bottle while I was occupied with one of his buddies. It didn't knock me out luckily (!), but I ended up being attacked by him and several of his friends in the crowded bar. None of my co-workers helped me out (grrrr!), and I ended up playing stick-n-move for about 5 minutes until the cops showed up. By the time they got there I was outfitted like a Roman gladiator, with my own champagne bottle-club in one hand and a drink tray in the other (as a shield for the beer bottles being chucked at me.)

My other major injuries (from fighting only) are a broken cheekbone, a scratched cornea, and a deviated septum and broken nose (I can now 'click' the septum back into place.)

see, that's a beliveable story..

Bent over to pick up a loose ball in a rugby game and got kneed in the face by some giant from the other team. Broke my nose, flipped me over on my back like a pancake. Didn't knock me out, though, so I at least walked off the field on my own.

Are you being facetious, Blade? Don't make me come over there! (Damned expensive plane fare!)

Kuntaokid,
My arm's still screwed up pretty bad, it took 6 weeks for me to be allowed to wrestle again. That was about 3 years ago when that happened and it still hurts like a bitch every now and then. During sparing you can tell when I get kicked in the elbow cause I'll start dancing around like someone lit my pants on fire. I can't straighten or bend it back all the way. Although when my arm was in a sling at chest level, I loved getting sympathy hugs from the well endowed chicks at school, that fucking rocked.

Nothing serious from MA yet, not sparring yet.

I did get a soccer ball in the groin from a striker the size of Asia at about 10 ft. I was out for 2 min.

The hardest hit I ever took was from the dash board of a Ford Pinto in a head on car accident with a 108 mph impact. I broke my left arm in two places, one was a compound fracture. I also broke my left femor, which was repaired with a stainless steel rod, I now sport titanium after my third surgery on it. I also lacerated my liver, smashed my radial nerve and endured seven major surgeries due to that single car accident.

Osiris, he doesn't charge any thing at all.

Deus, yes he is a very cheerful family guy (yeah right!)

Fighty, interesting story

KFDW, it seems like you got the most beat from anyone around here.

Kicking, no wonder when I sprain my knee ligament and was limping around with brace on my knee. No one even ask me if I was ok :-(

Bolverk, I bet you never buy a pinto or drive fast again.

This is a really interesting board.

Just throw rock at it and it will go away.

"facetious" lol no, I'm saying that that sounds believeable, you didn't exactly KO all those guys, you just managed to stay in there by improvising.

Bolverk, I bet you never buy a pinto or drive fast again.


LOL. I did not own the pinto. I was in the passenger seat, no seat belt, I wear them all of the time now.

We were only traveling at 55 mph at the time of the accident, the other guy was still going 53 mph after skidding 111' 8" and crossing the yellow line before hitting us.

It took quite awhile before I felt comfortable in a car again. I spent three months in the hospital, and it took many, many years to get my strength back to a respectable level. Thanks to Taekwondo, I now have an impressive amount of flexibility back in the damaged areas. It has been a long ordeal, and I still feel the pain everyday.
