Hey now, no shame at all.

If they had more experience or better technique the kick can feel like the person is much bigger/stronger.

Glad you are feeling better and please, ice your thigh if the session is hard or you are sore. A little ice goes a long way ;)

Happy kicking.

Second the ice... ice and ibuprofen right after make almost everything better.
