We all have them, we all get them. What is the list of injuries you have accrued in doing Martial art's?
No need to be shy. Remember: scars are like tattoo's but they tell better stories.
I'm 34, been doing martial arts of some kind for about 23 years and my list is:
Piriformis syndrome ,
6 concussions (2 knocked me out),
1 partly broken shin,
1 dislocated toe,
4 sprained ankles,
A sprained wrist,
A hairline broken finger,
A broken knuckle,
A separated rib,
4 partially dislocated ribs,
One temp damaged shoulder nerve & tendon,
Torn rotator cuff,
And lots of bruises, welts and contusions.

Lots of bruises from a year of SCA heavy (most seemed to be loaner gear / armor bite fitment related),
No injuries from 2 years of Karate (white > yellow > blue belt) - except a broken heart (from not meeting & dating an asian martial artist ;)),
A couple bruises from restrictive clothing at WMA practice**,
A pretty wicked bruise from what I'll call WMA (harnessfechten @ longsword demo), and
A few bruises from intimacy with rivets in plate armor**
** I posted some of the pics on my site a while back (http://james-anderson-iii.com/medieval-miscellany/pages/bumps-n-bruises (http://james-anderson-iii.com/medieval-miscellany/pages/bumps-n-bruises)) but not sure what I did with the pic of the bruise on the back of my leg. Sir Nathan caught me in the back of the leg with the crossguard. I was in a full harness, and we were using wooden wasters, which made the bruise all the more impressive - getting right around the armor! :D
I've had 2 concussions, one from a fight in high school (not martial arts related), and one from a car wreck. Martial arts has been one of the safer activities of my life. :D

I've either been really fortunate, really careful, or just not active enough. :)
I've really only been doing sword combat for about 6 or 7 years, with a variety of simulators, including using steel at speed. And yet, no broken bones, sprains, or concussions. What I have gotten are lots of bruises, including some joint-strikes that stayed stiff and swollen for months. I've had some occasional over-extensions in some joints that hurt for a while. I've lost a couple of fingernails. So far that's about it.

Oh boy...well, a host of cuts, scrapes and bruises early on, a few sprains but nothing permanent, although I did take a wicked shot to the fingers that resulted in limited use of that hand for a couple of months but nothing more serious than that. As of yet.

If I must share, beyond the numerous right thumbnails – why is it always the right one? I also have two broken fingers which both are my pinky fingers and they each have a jaunty little crook to them so at least they are a matched set and convenient whenever I want to do a bad Doctor Evil impersonation. ;)
