I guess you can't really call it a bump but I guess the story belongs on this thread.
A few years ago I was at my Dojo for Ju-Jitsu and wer were practicing roundhouse kicks. I'm not flexable at all but I was trying to see how high of a roundhouse I could do. Well my friend had the force shield up by his head and I went to kick the force shield but then my other foot slips out from under me, and I fall on my back. The whole class laughed and I got up to redeem myself I went for another kick and this time I didn't rotate my foot at all and it locked under me and I feel again. So now everyone is laughing their asses off. I deside not to tempt fate so I just go for simple waist height roundhouses. Well I go for that kick and I lock my leg under me one more time, and fall again. At this point I feel like a total jack ass but I desided that I'm going to hit the force shield really hard to redeem myself. This time I kick as hard as I can, perfect form I pivit my foot perfectly, and my jackass friend steps back and I totally miss the force shield spin around like a Bugs Bunny cartoon and fall on the floor. For the rest of the class I refused to throw any kicks.
The weird thing about that is I had never fallen because of sloppy technique before that and I've only really fallen one since then, it was just stupid. After that class I practiced like 1000 roundhouse kicks before the next class.
