We had a guy once wearing them old style thai groin guard... it had already cracked a little (he said) but he decided to wear it long after he noticed it... One day he got kicked in the groin really hard.. the cup broke in half but the rubber band around it made it snap back in place.. making it grip onto some of his belongings....

Its one of those things thats always in the back of your mind when you put it on.. "check for cracks"....

broke someones rib. amazing to think back how ignorant we all were about the human body before we started studying.

like, before you train you think its so hard to break someones arm or something but once you learn to do it the information is almost stunning. im fascinated by the dichotomy of how martial arts makes us so strong by highlighting how frail we really are.

Great post, Shinobijesus. We know so much more, but know that it's best not to use it.

This didn't happen to me, but to my dad. Several years ago, when he was still practicing Shotokan, he was judging a tournament. He went to use the restroom while wearing his dogi. After a few seconds of standing at the urinal doing his business and day dreaming, he realized that he didn't hear the usual familiar splahing sounds. He looked down and saw the draw string directly in the line of fire, soaking in the urinal! The pee had traveled up the thread and soaked into his pants! He didn't have a spare, so he hiked them up as high as he could, pulled his top down as low as he could, and tried to casually walk back to his spot on the floor without anyone noticing the wet, yellow stain on his pants...He said he was pretty sure most everyone did notice...

If they did'nt notice the yellow the smell might have turned afew heads.

During our own showers, we knew the "discovery" had been made through raised temperatures, and raised tempers.

Soon enough everyone was taking their clothes into the showers with them, and anyone carrying Deep Heat was viewed with much suspicion!

OSU DENT! somebody did something similar to me...next week while he was in the shower i spotted a dirty soaking wet mop in in a bucket...guess where he got it....anyway he flew up in the air and landed on his back!

A winter for som year ago was I going to hold a training for the juniors beginners class. Working out all day on a cold winter day with a lot of stress. I had brand new socs in my winterboots,so my feet was warm. I was late to training and change lifghting-quick to Dogi. Phu!
Basic was on the menu,and I stood explaining to to class. Hm why are they looking down I wonder...at my feet?! I then realized that my new socs had leaved a LOT of dark hair on my feet. Looking like a wild animal on my feet I understood the junior class looking down all the time hehe :-)

Steffen, great story!

We-ell, whadda ya know... Looks like my memory is just one of those that needs to be jogged a through a little pain.

I thought (After a long layoff from the activity), that I'd do a little skipping today. Out came the trusty heavy duty Thai-style tubing, but I didn't put on my trainers. Nothing can quite describe the feeling of going from happy-to-be-speeding-up to OW! Stupid toes!.

As long as it was just the socks, eh, Steffen!

A careless thing I did a couple of years back.

I see a good, big mirror in my hotel room. I think "- What a great opportunity to check on my kicking technique". Throwing a maegeri while looking sideways into the mirror, I totally fail to see the opened door in front of me, pointing straight at me. The three center toes of my left foot were quite messed up for quite a while...
