Not really a discussion topic just thought I'd post this for reading value. I teach a small group of children (freestyle kickboxing) and way we were training last night and I turned my back for a second. Grace one of our "problem children" decided to start spinning around randomly with her hands outstretched before I could notice this and give her a telling off one of the little five year olds decided to go running across the room, straight into the path of her twirling fists.
I looked up just in time to see this poor little kid going smashing into her fist and going down like a sack of potatoes. I rushed over and helped him up and noticed there was a lovely squirt of blood coming from his nose, this wasn't just a dribble but a full on gush, so bad was it that in the time it took me to send someone for some tissues, the whole of the front of his tee shirt was red and there was a nice pool on the floor.
To make matters worse this was only the little boys second lesson, so after we had got the bleeding stopped and cheered up the little fella I still had to not look forward to explaining things to his mother :-(. It also made me so mad that this had happened that it as good as messed up the rest of my class.
Anyway it all worked out ok the mother was very understanding and said he is prone to nose bleeds anyway, but that was my horror story from yesterday. Who'd teach kids, I must be nuts

Thanks for reading.
