I got clubbed on my forehead with a hockey stick. Needed stitches and have an eyebrow scar now.

    It wasn’t a beating, just one kick in karate class. We wore cups (groin guards) and protective equipment, but I was an adolescent and “changing” rapidly so my cup was several sizes too small.

    We were also supposed to “pull” our kicks and punches, but my sparring partner didn’t pull his kick to my groin and he broke my groin protector cup. It hurt so much I lost my breath and fell over until my sensei had me sit in an ‘L’ position while he lifted me from behind under my arms. That seemed to straighten things out.
