So I started this thread because I had the unfortunate experience of being punched in the head about 15 times. I didn't know tai chi at the time... I was like 12 years old and playing hockey. I pissed off a bigger kid and he let me have it. Fortunately I had a helmet on and he had gloves so it was all just "bounce and jostle". I don't remember much after that but that's probably from the concussions.
One thing I do remember is how my head cocked back and forth with each blow. I really tried to fight back but every time I raised my arms I got another blow. Eventually I was beat into the ice with my face down and the blows to the back of my head.
Anyone else had that experience or is it just me?
Here's a visual for those not familiar with hockey:
