some may feel that this comment is slightly absurd, but pain is good for you, without it, you wouldnt know whats the top priority to protect and what is the least , when you fight, with pain u understand that the place that hurts the most, is the most vulnerable, so therefore needs more protecting
then again joe could jus be on spliff

So true... it took a mean side kick to my ribs that taught me to guard my middle more. Now I find that when I spar I am more or less walking in with more of a staggered stance (my butt facing my opponent more than my chest/middle .. ok now no comments ok?  ) My hands and forearms covering my middle before and after executing a hand technique. But it sure showed me that although that blow to my ribs hurt like a &^%# ... it could be worse if there was a next time. Since then my middle is always protected (maybe doubly so ).

What about your head kickchick? I mean, what if they sidey had smacked u in the teeth. My head's way more valuable than my ribs, but i suppose they don't teach u to block with your legs and all that in TKD...

There is a big difference between those who experince the pain of learning and stop and those who learn from it.
The truly frustrated who learn nothing dissappear from the dojo. Practice, practice, practice.
My weak spot is going in to one side of my head. Sometimes I think I will never really learn to protect it well.
I have this one odd technique to block kicks to the middle while still protecting my head. I kind of raise a leg and block the kick with my leg. Or better yet, If I am lucky I can catch the kick with my kick and kind of jam it before it actually happens. Very hard to do.
