Today in class we did some sparring.
During the last spar, I was sparring against one of the blackbelts. He had injured his right hand and was avoiding using it.
We tangled up and I ended up throwing him. . . face-first into the floor. When I saw his head bounce my first thoughts were "Oh, shit! I've really hurt him!"
After that he tried to get up, but I told him to stay, not to move. I was worried about a concussion. After a few minutes he seemed to be ok so we helped him up.
His head and his mouth were bleeding. He hit his forehead, which must have hurt, but luckily that is a very hard part of the skull.
I feel really bad. I do not want to hurt anyone. Even more so while practicing.
We were practicing on the hardwood floor again. What is ironic is that we start the session outside and moved inside only when the rain started. If we had stayed outside then if the same thing had happened he would not have been hurt nearly as bad.
I hope he will be ok. I will see how it looks tomorrow when I attend the Sunday class.
