The more I work out in karate learning to be the “invincible” expert the more I damage vital body parts. (If the time ever comes where I need to defend myself I swear the fight will end not because of me but because they took pity on a partial cripple.) Last year alone, besides the litany of minor issues such as the wear and eventual tear of the soles of my feet, I ended up partially destroying both shoulders, mangled two and half vital finger joints, from those always pleasant hand clashes, received a split lip and bruised ribs. So what were your top injuries last year and do tell the story if you are so inclined…
