Karate ruins a person's feet.
You aren't allowed to wear shoes in karate. And so, over the years of doing karate, sliding my feet along cracked gymnasium floors, I have got some nasty callouses. My heels are cracked. I have a callous on the side of my one baby toe that is starting to grow over the nail. (I know. It's disgusting).
I've had two pedicures since I've been doing karate. But when you remove the callouses, doing karate hurts, and the callouses come back thicker than ever.
Aside from the callouses, I've lost a toenail and cracked many others.
I've seen pictures of dancers' feet, and they are even worse than mine.
It's amazing what we do to our bodies in the name of sport.

So you could flip me on my head? And if I were a board, you could break me? Cool.
Well, I can break boards, yes. But I don't break people as a rule.
