    Thats hardly a reason to quit. I'm certain that the breaking of your right leg will hardly deter the increasing volume of practioneers across the globe.

    I broke my leg sparring in Tae Kwon Do due to the base of my middle toe connecting with my opponents elbow (the ankle or instep was also fractured, can't remember which now) when executing a rear leg turning kick. It's just a case of getting back on the horse.

    If their are any practioneers in Cork that could show me a thing or two or at the very least get me started then I'd be glad to meet up some weekend.
