Gonna need a bit of background. Sorry.
We had this fellow student, a stocky powerful man who liked to kick high. Except that having started later in life, he didn't have the hip flexibility to pull it off. And he was about 1.5m tall. So his roundhouse kicks aimed at the head would usually land …
… somewhat lower on his sparring partner’s body. Me being around 1.78m, that would be significantly further south than his intent, and I once got kicked in the, err, privates. We wore protectors when sparring, but he was, as I said, a strong chap. It … hurt. I was bent over, feeling the feels.
Our teacher gave me a sharp whack between the eyebrows. I didn’t WTF — guru-shishya etc — but I may have come close.
He grinned.
“Not thinking about the kick in the crotch so much now, are you?”
