Yep.

It's so stupid, I know. All that happened was me getting schwacked in the nose by a high-speed roundhouse kick from someone twice my size. My nose could've broken, but it was fine, though I'm told it's a little crooked. There was a ton of blood. A couple months before that, I got kicked straight in the mouth (no mouth guard, couldn't wear one). Somehow, I didn't lose any teeth, but I had braces at the time and my lip got stuck in the brackets. Had to rip it out. Fun.

Getting kicked in the face actually doesn't even hurt - or if it does, I don't notice - it's just the impact and the shock that bothers me. It's like being thrown into a brick wall.

And there you have it: my reason for skipping sparring week.
