stupid!!

[RedDragon]

the other day i was trying out my flexibility and wanted to see how high i can do a front kick, i put all my force into it and did it hard and quick when low and behold my knee went strait to my face and hit my nose REALLY hard, it hurt like hell, i thought i broke it cuz it really felt like it, thats the highest ive ever been able to get my kick but i guess i wasnt paying attention, i can easily say thats the stupidest thing ive done for a WHILE, i tell everyone that i kicked myself in the face but they wouldnt believe me, now that you know the stupid thing i did, tell us about the stupidest things u did while training, u know, for sh!ts and giggles

That's about as good as the time I was in high school and decided it would be cool to teach myself the nunchaku in close quarters. The dannn thing bounced off my bookshelf and smacked me in the head.

LOL doughboy !
Your story reminded me of when I punched myself in the nose, a few weeks ago.
I was pulling an elbow compression bandage up onto my right arm with my left hand, when my grip slipped and my hand flew right into my nose. It was the hardest shot I had taken in a long time.
Doh !

Oh, one time I broke my own collar bone.

I was running a 10k cross country and trying to keep 5 minute miles. In the last stretch I was running out of gas, puking as I ran. I could see the finish line so I just ducked my head down and ran as hard as I could. I ran smack into a tree and broke my collar bone on the right side.

I ran to the finish line, and then passed out in a ditch. Yeah me.

In high school, I decided to join gymnastics. My first day, they threw me on rings and told me to "swing around for a while". Well, I figured I'd go all out, so I'm swinging, and I throw my all into it, spin around almost all the way. Unfortunately, there is a technique in rings called a dislocate, where you extend your shoulder out so that the shoulder joint doesn't get in the way of spinning all the way around. I didn't know anything about the technique.

To sum up, it is possible, using just your own body weight in a spinning fashion, to break your sternum, dislocate your shoulder, and pull every tendon in your chest and arms.

My technique was good, but I believe the judges would have scored me low on my shrieking dismount.

[Dragon Warrior]

this happened a LONG time ago when i was a begginner. I was in a Chinese take out place and the kid at the counter noticed my kung fu shirt. He asked me to show him something. I threw a jumping spinning crecent kick (butterfly kick) and my shoe flew off and almost hit him in the face. It flew all the way into the kitchen. My friend couldnt stop laughing. That was pretty stupid i think.

What's even worse, my sternum healed out of place, and only went back into place years later, when one of my instructors(a former power lifter-Instructor Don, if you're reading RD) demonstrated 1-inch power on me for a friend of mine.

Abou a year ago, I was practicing a circular punch, in which you coil back your fist at your face height. Well, at one point I hit myself below the eye and it was so hard I fell on the floor, grabbing my face with my hands.

Man, I do hit hard! :eek:

It's back in place isn't it? SHEESH! Talk about ungrateful...

I know, you think I'd show some gratitude, but no!! It's all "I can't breath" and "my chest bone snapped"!! God, I am such a wuss.

By the way, when your sternum is broken, you can't get out of bed. You have to kind of throw yourself of the edge of the bed and stand up from the ground. God, I am such a whiner.

Funny, I don't remember what my time was now. But I probabbly did. I hadn't run in over year when I was at a camp a couple of months ago and was still able to run a 5.05 cold and I barely broke a sweat. Until I got in a bike wreck I ran for the Air Force in college.

Too bad everybody picked those planes and stuff. Maybe next time you should run for office instead of a function.

Jumping kick into a high floor to ceiling ball. Except I kicked a little too high, got my foot wrapped in the upper cable and lost footing on my grounding foot. I ended up swinging upside down from the ball, hollering for my brothers to help get me out before my sifu found me like that! :-o

They left me hanging for a while too, and only came to help when I was nearly ripping the ceiling down trying to get myself out!

B@stards. But I'd have done the same! ;-)

Practised punching technique in front of the mirror once. Focusing really hard on combo's, the last right cross caught the mirror fair in the middle and there was an awesome BANG! Not a mark on the mirror. Then there was a crash. Went into my brother's room to see a crack in the wall and his bookcase flat on the floor.
Sent my Chi right through the mirror! Or at least that's what I tell myself. Wish I could do it deliberately and on something other than household furniture. :cool:

one time I got really drunk and was also bored and lit my shirt on fire. Apparently, I fell asleep and it was still on fire, luckily others put it out, probably to save the couch. :p

I was muay thai shadow boxing and was concentrating on thrusting my knee out and leaning back to get more into it.

Kneed in the air so hard I took myself completely off the ground and landed on my back in front of 30 peopl :) Thank god for breakfalls.

[SanHeChuan]

A few months ago a made a really heavy (about 20 lbs.) practice staff from a metal pipe and some sand.
The next morning I tried swinging it around fast and caught my shin with one of the metal caps I put on it.
At first I was just like ow, but latter that night while at work I could barley walk and just had to grin through the pain as I hobbled along.

Makes me feel really stupid this...
I was sparring with a friend about 2 years ago and threw a fast left jab. A bolt of pane shot down my arm from my sholder and i had to stop. My arm hurt for weeks afterward, i never went to a doctor.
About 2 mounths ago I got a headache after doing a form in a private lesson and my sifu tried giving me a massage. He pointed out that my sholder had a bone cap that was raised on one side.
It turns out that i actualy fractured my sholder throwing a punch into thin air!
My sholder healed with a cap over the joint becouse i never stopped using it or let it heal properly.
Lesson in this: Dont throw ALL your force into ANYTHING untill your body is cable of handling the strain.
My arm is fine but i still have that 'cap' over my sholder bone.

I once bought this step ladder from the local DIY shop.

So I got it home and thought "I'll try it out"

Started climbing up the ladder and out my head into the plasterbaord ceiling!

Playing tennis with a friend I ran into the net to volley the ball and slipped. One leg went one way and the other slid out from underneath.

Felt like I'd pulled a groin muscle, but noticed that night my left testicle was swollen. A week later it was still swollen so I went to see my GP and he gave me antibiotics to bring down the swelling (after he squeezed both balls to "check them out" :( )

The result... antibotics reacted with another medication I was taking and I ended up jaundiced with a liver infection. Skin went yellow, eyes went yellow and I looked like Bart Simpson. Couldn't work for six weeks. Friends still joke about my large balls :rolleyes:
