While sparring in class, my 5th methacarpal(sp?) was broken while blocking a kick...that woman was bigger than me and twice my size heh heh! I'm 5'0, 103 lbs...

I actually didn't know it was broken for a week. I went to the hospital the day I got hurt, they did x rays but they said I just had a sprain...for a week I was in pain. I went to my doctor, he did more x-rays and it turns out it was broken...I had a cast from 2 of my fingers all the way past my wrist...that was so uncomfortable!

I continued classes and one day I got to sparr one handed(my sabunim made my oponent sparr one handed so it would be fair)

Quite interesting to sparr like that!
