During practice? Let's see. I've been hurt once by my master during a lesson on Japanese sword techniques in Hokken. What would've probably broken the average person's entire rib cage, broke 2 of my ribs (only time in my life I've ever had a full fracture). That was about 1 1/2 years ago. The only other time was in 3rd grade during TC lessons when I was getting my first bow staff lesson. Short version, I ended up chipping my bottom rib on the right side. It wasn't a full fracture, but yea. In tournies every year, I pretty much get my arms dislocated every time I ever fought 9th and 10th degree Black Belts in TKD (It's amazing, the difference between 7th degree- to 8th degree+). It's nothing new, but it still hurts.
Hurting others seriously? Umm.... well, back when I was 18, during my second year as Head Sempai and Master's Assistant, they rewrote the waiver for lessons because I lost my cool with my students (always get the arrogant rich brats who think they're unbeatable after watching 1 kungfu movie). My 22 students left early, 2 were bed-ridden for 1 week and 1 was actually in the hospital for 2 days. Of course, I wasn't sued because the original waiver states we're not responsible for "injury". However, the new one even covers "Possible incapacitation and/or death" (rewritten after that incident). I was severely reprimanded by my master (She was my master since I was 3) and let's just say I lost my position as Head Sempai for like a month, wasn't hard to get it back.
I am a disciple, so I'm not under the belt system, even though the people who pay for the lessons do. As a disciple you go through training with the belts, but you go further than they do and learn more. But my position is Head Sempai/Master's Assistant (literal translation is Master's Hand). Similar to a 10th degree, I guess you can say. Now as for the paying students, they are people who really either don't have the potential and/or the heart to take it all the way, so those people are the "commercial" students, not disciples. It's similar with my Hokken master, but there are no "commercial" students there. He's very well off, so he actually only takes disciples. The test is ridiculous. Again, for Hokken, I am also Head Sempai, and this one, we don't have a belt system.
Backflip? I used to. But after the military, I've been very top-heavy, and my muscle structure changed drastically, so not anymore (Now 32 waist and 42 chest).
I've been reading from time to time, but I'm juggling quite a few things, but after a few more, I'll start writing some comments via PM.
No, I do not own any personal guns. Money that could have been spent on that was spent on SCUBA gear, a SureFire flashlight, computer games, extra uniforms, starch, food, and my DS +accessories/games.
