One of the worst martial injuries I've ever had I was teaching kesagatame, the first hold-down you learn in judo. The easiest thing that there is. I was telling the class of kids that if the uke begins moving to try to escape then you just shift your feet and... SNAP! I caught my little toe in a crack in the folding mats and broke it sideways. I yelped and sat up and my toe was hanging off at an angle and half of my foot was already black. That toe hurt for a loooong time. Crazy things, toe injuries. Cute.
