Ever been hit...

[Water Dragon]

so hard it just took the fight right out of you? c'mon guys admit. Stories too.

I was fighting a boxer in my boyz basement one time. We were pretty evenly matched and he got me with a tight right hook off the jab. Took it right on the cheekbone. I jumped back, waved my hands like that's it, and quit. I almost cried from that one.

Ever been hit hard enough to make you cry?

[apoweyn]

yeah. i took an eskrima stick in the kidney hard enough to make me stop and weep. hell, i'd have shot myself in the head if i could've gotten the barrel through the metal face grill. that sucked.

and the guy that did it, he's a catholic priest now. the world's a funny place.

I was in a mixed martial arts tourney a few years back and came in on this Karate guy who kicked me so hard in the stomach that he knocked me on my ass! I also was doing some boxing sparring and this guy caught me with a right hook just under my left ear that didn't allow my head to move with the momentum of the punch. That rung my bell big time!!!

[Dark Knight]

Black eyes, Bloody noses, KO'd by punches and kicks, staggered a couple times by strikes, dislocated both arms a couple time through the years.

I spent a few years working out at different schools because my job made me travel alot and I wasnt teaching full time. When your a Black belt with no home its like being a gunfighter, everyone wants to know how good you are.

No matter how hard you get hit you have to stay standing and keep fighting, people will say they want to go light and then pop you to try to look good in front of the other students. you dont want to lose face either so you shake it off like it was nothing and come back twice as hard. When its done you smile like it was an easy workout and go on with your day.

The KO's were by my own instructor, man he could hit hard and fast.

[LEGEND]

I was boxing with a short 150lb guy...he hit me with a lead hook punch to my chin...I dropped! I couldn't command my legs to stand.

I was kickboxing with a bb tkd guy and got hit by a spinning back kick to the abs...I stopped and dropped to one knee.

I was thai boxing with my instructor and toss out a roundhouse and he lifted his shin...I dropped holding my shin!

Afterwards I have rarely done any striking sparring cause I SUCK AS A STANDUP FIGHTER!!!

[red5angel]

Way back in high school when I was taking a karate class, I was sparring with my instructor. he was about 5'10, 250 lbs of muscle with a soft layer over it, his calves were about the size of my head. I stepped towards him quickly just as he shot out a straight kick. They said I was out for about 20 seconds! It was all the bright stars that woke me up :)

[JWTAYLOR]

About 4 years ago I took a 2 hook combination that I cringe about to this day.

His left hand/front hand hooked around and cought me on my right kidney full force in the back. That hid made me arch my back made my knees go weak. He followed that up bringing his right hook up into my gut. The first hit knocked the breath out of me, and the second actually knocked me out.

Just for a brief moment but it dropped me to my knees and I still didn't get my breath back for a minute.

I p!ssed blood for a little while.

Man that one did take the fight right out of me.

roundhouse side of the head. Thought I could stand it up and tried to keep going forward. Big mistake. saw blue-white-blue-white-blue in rapid succession.(Ceiling of the gym was white, mat was blue) Literally spun over as I fell to the mat

[fa_jing]

I explained recently in another thread that a fellow student, very strong, caught me with a right hook while we were sparring that made my legs turn to jelly. I didn't fall, though. My teacher yelled break and the student had to vomit immediately, he has problems with this. By the time a minute went by we got back into it. I kinda wanted to stop, but I pushed myself to keep going. I was still dazed but I fought through it for the rest of the round plus another round. Believe me, I was more reluctant to step in, as soon as we got past the jab range I would rush in and clinch. I had a mild concussion afterwards which lasted about a week. It was a good lesson, although I was upset at the time.

Sometimes when you get hit on the bridge of the nose, it causes your tear ducts to open and tears come out. You may feel like your crying, but actually it is a result of the blow and you can't do anything about it. This happens a lot and you shouldn't worry about it.

I was in the ring and ate a right cross. It dazed me, and before I could regain sense of where he was, I ate a hook, then another hook. Dunno what happened after that. I blacked out for what seemed like about 5 seconds, but I was still standing when I came to. I tried to continue, but really was unable. The ref saw this and stopped the match.

[IronFist]

I got kicked in the balls once.

[JWTAYLOR]

Once?

[David Jamieson]

I got a good solid kick to the sternum while sparring with one of my Kung Fu brothers.

I had to stop and catch my breath before we re-commenced.

Same but different, I took a heel hook kick to the side of my jaw and got a few teeth busted.

Each time, we continued and It made me a lot more concious of where I am not paying attention when I should be.

peace

[shaolinboxer]

The only time I ever had to completely stop sparring was when I was 15 years old...I think it was my first time really sparring and my opponent did a spinning hook kick....well I just stood there staring at it until it connected with my temple and I woke up on the floor.

Alex was his name....He taught me a lot of things that saved my ass in many a match.

[Xebsball]

No, but when i was a kid i used killing sucker punches and won with only one hit each time. One hit to the dantien area and they fall on the floor having a hard time breathing. One time was my brother, the other was some dude calling me dumb.

[Xebsball]

Oh yes i forgot. I got a knee strike to the balls when i was a kid too.

This kid was saying bad words (**** and stuff like that) to me and i was buddha zen style... Seeing that he didnt hurt me with words he did a knee strike to my nuts when he was close. It took a few seconds before it hurt, then i cried.
Anyway my friend was nearby and didnt see the knee strike, he tought i was crying becouse the other kid was dissing me. Dude, he tought i was a wuss... "You ***got, people call you names and you cry, you're a wuss"

[Shaolindynasty]

In sparring somtimes I got hit hard enough to want to quit but never did. A funny angle on this is that I was doing some takedowns for a sidekick once and for some reason lost my concentration and instead of catching the kick I walked right into it with my eye! I was dazed for quit some time and my eye was cut but I got backinto things after about 10 min. The good thing is I learned my lesson and never stoped focusing in class again!

[MonkeySlap Too]

XEBSBALL - doesn't that mean 'had my balls removed by a kick?' - only kidding.

Lemme see:

Once I was thrown so hard once I literally didn't know where I was. That was in 'training' to get my teaching liscence for Shuai Chiao.

Then the same guy (another coach of mine, we were taking Shuai Chiao together) beaned me with a backfist (!) so hard during the sparring part of the test that I had a small concussion before I even entered the tournament the next day.

Another time, when I was a teenager, a friend of mine who was much senior to me, caught me perfectly with a kick to the solar plexus. I didn't even feel myself drop that time.

Yikes, I'm getting aches just thinking about this stuff...

[Shaolindynasty]

I remember throwing one of my classmates from a leg catch on a spin kick and he went pretty high cause I threw him hard. I was having trouble with the move so I decided to put more power in it, well I guess I got it right cause he flew high up and came down on his neck pretty hard. He was down for awhile, my sifu had to start doing treatments for his back after that. He was complaing about that throw and pain since. I guess I should feel bad but in a sick sort of way I'm proud of myself for getting the technique right and now at least I know it works.

[Apprentice]

WHen i was like 15-16(im 17 now) my "Friend" wanted to fight me...some friend eh? The reason he did was cuz i said "I could beat em"...i was sure i could, then like a week after this "I can beat you, no you can't" stuff, he told my friend(he knew bout this) that he was comin over to kick my A§§...i was sick at the time(jes ate at pizza hut), had a headache too, and i wasn't angry at all, not in any mood to fight...and i just couldn't get into it, i was so calm,(i was chillin, bout to goto sleep)...i couldn't get myself into the fighting spirit either, i was throwin combos to the air, wasn't helpin, i even made my friend i was with hit me a few times, didn't help...it felt like i jes got up(these aren't excuses)...

Then me n my friend met, i was witha friend, and he was witha friend, we were all friends, my closer friend thought i'd win, and vice versa...anyway, it was like a boxing match, i threw a few punches(they were weak, haha)...n got caught in teh forehead nose, fell to one knee(he didnt' rush me, it was a "Friendly Fight" and i had just got 4 matress stitches(big ones) in my left leg from getting a stake stabbed through it, everyone at the fight was there)...

And eventually, the fight lasted for about 10min(god a long fight)...and i was jes about to say im through(i was tired)...and we were in a clinch, i was jes about to say it, then he pushed me back n hit me with a hard and fast combo in the stomach, my mouth was open too, the first hit knocked the wind out of me, the second knocked the reserve air out of me...then he stepped back, n i put 1 hand up, n said i was done...i felt like i was gonna pass out...

But then we Handshaked-Hugged, said good fight, n talked about it like it was a football game, like "Man, u got me good with that upper cut" "yea, those body shots killed me"...when it was over, it felt like it was kinda fun...then the friend i was with showed me some boxing manuevers(little late huh?)...i still think i could've beaten him if i had a reason:D

[Xebsball]

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

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 ****

[fa_jing]

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. ;)

[pazmoot]

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.

[don bohrer]

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.

[Mutant]

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

[rubthebuddha]

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."

[Black Jack]

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

[Polaris]

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 :D . Both times I acted like it was nothing,
but it sure did hurt.

Morale of the story: Blind aggression can be bad.

[les paul]

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!

Spanky
