    I've seen worse in sparring. I've found most TKD guys that I spar with have very bad head movement :laugh:

    Ouch! We should have a show your injury thread! I have a scar across my nose from a sparring game. The instructors still tease me about blocking with my face

    Tested for my Green belt and got a split lip in the process, the best part is it was from a 73 year old man that will be Blackbelt testing in about 2-3 weeks. He is a Bad *kitten*!! He does TKD two days a week and Yoga two more. Also is a Korean war vet that is super active in the VFW.

    Nice! When I first started Tang Soo Do we sparred alot and black eyes and split lips were the norm. Its gotten much lighter.
