Hell hath no fury... By Taekwondo_gal06 - Fri, 07 Dec 2007 11:39:03 GMT

=========

My story begins with a party, and an unfortunate encounter with a off bit of finger food. To make matters worse, I had a taekwondo grading to attend for my black tip. After a good sleep, a bath and abstinence from anything resembling food; I decided to go.

I was a bit dizzy but persevered, I didn't want to miss it. If any of you remember, there was a guy who has been bashing me up in class, unfortunately I was paired with him to spar. I managed to get a few hits in (just missing because it is no contact) and he got frustrated and sucker punched me in the jaw.

My lip split and my teeth went through my skin, I have a few loose teeth and a big black bruise. Blood went pouring down my chin and all over my gi, I didn't block the punch because I wasn't on my game.

The thing is, this guy has a track record of injuring girls in class and at gradings; he broke a girl's foot last time.

I don't want to sound weak and whiny, but I'm not here to be bashed up all the time. Sure I get the occassional mistake, no biggie; but this is too consistent.

I'm 17, and my mum is really protective; I'm worried she won't let me go anymore. I do not want to give up taekwondo, I live for it. Any tips on dealing with the situation?

Time to change the school. There are other places that won't let this crap continue. If the rule is no contact then that's that. Drawing blood is not acceptable and should be grounds for a no change/ no advance plus a stern talking to. the matter of the act is that you can't block everything. That's why there are rules for the friendly match for rank or in class. If this gentleman beats up on the girls all the time, there is something amiss and the instructor needs to step in. And if Mom is like me, he'd better, before Mom parks a car on the fellow!

No one needs to be bullied in place where they *should* feel a reasonable degree of safety and protection. Accidents happen, yes, but bullying someone or more than one person is just wrong.

If he wants to hit people there are places he can go for that. So, my question is, why is he training at a place were contact is not allowed? If he wants to be a "tough guy" then he should go were a lot of other "tough guys" frequent.
