Ok, so in September I fractured my left index toe on a front kick.
Yes, I admit it. I am entirely brilliant.
Then last week, I fractured my right index toe in two places and the middle toe as well, on another front kick.
It gets better.
the following day, I busted up the second toe from the end on my right foot as well on a side kick.
I am so damn brilliant it hurts.

maybe you should quit kicking shins
It was an elbow
both times…
My foot hurts
Thanks for sharing.
Stop using the front kick as a strike when you don’t have shoes. I don’t get how you fucked up your toes from a side kick.
That said, I once popped a pinkie toe because I dragged it across the mat moving from kneeling to standing.
Like most human beings, I have a grand total of two pinkie toes. Unlike most human beings, I have broken my two pinkie toes a combined total of five times. I have long skinny toes. It sucks. Standup grappling is the usual culprit for me.
I hate wearing wrestling shoes because I’m always careful not to track dirt on the mat, and it’s a pain to take them off every time I leave the mat. I tape them when they’re injured, but when they’re not injured I just leave them dangling out there to be broken again. I just feel like a retard if I tape the hell out of both feet every time I train if I’m not hurt.
It’s just a pain, all around. Usually when they break, I just straighten them and buddy tape them for a while. But I did break one so bad once I went to the doctor and had them straighten it out. I was scared it wouldn’t heal right and it would cause me pain when I ran. But the worst part about broken toes is that it’s just a nuisance and it puts a damper on training, running, etc. Anyway, I feel your pain.
This is like… my MA life. I tape the broken toe(s) for a couple weeks, then figure, “Ah, fuck it, it’s fine and taping them up is a pain in the ass,” and before you know it I’m taping up a broken toe.
Try kicking something other than limestone. There’s a reason they don’t make heavy bags out of it.
Limestone? Come on, I’m not THAT big of an idiot. I’m close.
For the record I botched two defensive push kicks and busted my toes.
As for the botched sidekick… your guess is as good as mine. I’m resigned to the fact I’m a moron.
I love what the mods did with my thread.
