The leg kicks did hurt a lot. I ended up going to physical therapy for 6 months. The periosteum on my outer left thigh got broken which allowed the bone forming cells (osteoblasts) to leak out into the muscle contusion resulting in bone growth inside my thigh muscle! The two body shots didn't knock the wind out of me but they sure did hurt! I was actually surprised with the power he had in those strikes...he sure could hit HARD! The cumulative strikes definitely drained my energy.
I did not pass that test. Ajarn Chai called me a couple months after the test and convinced me to take it again. He said he wanted to make sure his instructors had "heart". So, within a couple weeks after I completed my therapy I flew to Atlanta and did it again with Dick Harrell as my holder. That test wasn't much fun either but I passed.
