mrs. neaky, i had the same thing happen to me - i never went to the doctor but i'm convinced there was a fracture in my jaw

there is nothing worse than newbies sparring for the first time going all out - you can tell them a 100 times 'this is all about control and learning what you practice in class' but it never works

i had a guy who was 4 inches taller than me and always going 100% in class when learning techniques - anyway, he finally came to sparring class on a saturday and of course i was put up against him. i knew he was going to bullrush me so when our trainer said 'fight' he came right at me and all i did was push kick him in the solar plexus, putthing him on his ass.

he didnt expect it and got up and did the exact same thing except i just put out a medium strengthed jab which landed on his chin and again he was on his backside. he didnt come to sparring class again lol
