Senior Taekwondo Kick
What should I do? I mucked up BIG TIME!?
In a World Taekwondo Federation sparring match, you are not meant to hit your opponent in the head with your fist.
I only knew that after I gave someone a black eye.
Worse, she happened to be someone who I respect. She is one of the senior students who comes in early to lead the excersises (before class starts) for the teacher, stays behind after class to teach me my poomsae after the lesson because I thought I had all forgotten (the test was next day) and let me drink from her water bottle when I forgot mine.
I feel so guilty now. I can’t kick her really that well (I’ve only learnt for eight months) so I resorted to what I can do decently (I used to do boxing). The baddest part is that she was actually teaching me (like commenting on how I could spar better) when I striked her (so her defense was down).
What do you think she thinks of me now? I already apologised but would she accept it? What else can I do?
She is senior than you, so your apologized is enough for her to understood that you did not mean it, besides showing respect continuously is one thing that matter most.
You must remember that on practice, especially at sparring, you can’t avoid such incident but it must be serve as a lesson on your part to take care things next time, because on tournament, hitting someone on head by the fist, and if the referee will totally seen it, then you may get fouled or may cause on points deduction or rejection, depends upon the actions you did as being seen on the sparring scenario.
Good luck
