Thwack

I had a new life experience at Karate this Saturday-- namely, what it's like to get knocked down by a punch to the face

Since my one fight in middle-school was more of a graze off the jaw, the only comparable thing I have is a soccer-ball to the face (kicked from 10 yards at top speed) or the infamous Racquetball Injury. It does leave you a little fuzzy, but you're usually still operational. :)

I got hit in the eyeball once. Not hard enough to do any damage, but it was not an experience I wanted to repeat. I think my manliest dojo injury was bruised ribs from being kicked.
