Dropping Lily down a notch at TKD practice.

[Tara J]

An older story from a few years ago. One of the few times I intentionally hit another girl ‘down there’.  Names changed to protect identities etc.

This was during my last year or two in college. So I stepped into the dojang (dojo) and I looked around and saw my fellow students and joined them as they were stretching and limbering up. It's Tuesday, which means it's sparing day at the dojang. I've been coming here for years, ever since I enrolled as a freshman. Now, at twenty-one, I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm confident, strong, and capable of defending myself if need be. Today, however, I'm feeling particularly anxious. My old sparring partner was back, a girl named Lily. She's been training for just as long as I have, but she's always acted like she’s better than me, and maybe she used to be. But I was confident my hard work over the last year had made a difference.

As we begin our warm-ups, my heart races in my chest. Lily notices my nervousness and flashes me a smug smile. I return the gesture, trying to steady my nerves. Our instructor, Master Kim, blows his whistle and pairs us off. I'm relieved to see that I'm not going up against one of the older male black belts today. They're merciless. Instead, I've got Lily. I steel myself, taking a deep breath.

We bow to each other, fists clenched. I feel the adrenaline surging through my veins as we step into our fighting stances. We all hear the command to begin. Lily feints with her left foot, testing my reaction. I didn’t fall for it. She grins, and then she's on me, faster than I expected. I manage to dodge her first kick, but she's already spinning around, her foot aimed at my head. I roll out of the way just in time, feeling the wind from her kick whip past my ear.

 I launch my own attack, landing a solid low roundhouse kick to her thigh. She stumbles back, but only for a moment. She's quick to regain her balance, her eyes narrowed in concentration. We circle each other, searching for an opening. She steps forward with an axe kick and I step aside and land a punch to her ribs, feeling my knuckles connect with satisfying force. She grunts but doesn't go down. Instead, she spins and lunges forward, aiming a vicious elbow at my chest.

 I see it coming, but there's nothing I can do to avoid it. The impact drives her elbow deep into my left breast, and I feel a sharp stabbing pain radiate outward from my chest where she hit. A white hot stabbing pain erupts where her elbow struck and I fall to my knees, grasping my injured tit. My vision clears, and all I can focus on is the anger welling up inside me. I can't believe she would resort to such a cheap shot.

 Ouch, I was going to be sore for days. As the sharp pain fades, I feel a surge of rage. I look up at Lily, her satisfied smirk making my blood boil. Without thinking, I swing my fist upward, aiming for her most vulnerable spot. My knuckles connect with her vagina, and feel her soft area compress before my knuckles make solid contact with her pelvic bone. She lets out a high-pitched yelp, and I can see the shock register on her face as she stood frozen. I couldn’t believe she was still standing, I know it probably doesn’t hurt as much as getting kicked in the balls but I landed a solid punch. Wow, she’s tough.

As I got up I rammed my knee right into her vagina with as much force and focus as I could. I felt her pelvic bone again on the top of my knee. I was off a little to my left but it didn't matter. She dropped to the floor instantly and I stood, straightening my uniform as she lay there whimpering.

Apparently the sound of her dropping to the floor attracted attention. Everyone stopped and stared, I heard the other girls in the class begin to laugh. They're not laughing at me, but at Lily. They're not used to seeing someone so confident and in control end up incapacitated in the most embarrassing way. The realization that I've managed to knock her off her pedestal brings a small smile to my lips.

No, I didn’t get in trouble, she was admonished for not protecting herself at all times. Oh, and groin protectors for girls was optional by the way. It does hurt, but unlikely to stop us from reproduction in the future.

Yeah, she sat out for the rest of practice. And she definitely lost that smug look the next time I saw her, and then she was known as the ‘girl with balls’ around the group.

Great story and very well told… has this happened with a guy? That knee sounds devastating

As another martial artist I've def seen both sorts of hits happen to girls/women, some worse than others.  However bad I may even feel, there's still something kinda thrilling about seeing a womans surprise finding out it really can hurt them too.  Great story though!  *two claws up*
