Looking for a Cure

Last night I was attempting to render a 150 lb dummy senseless with what I'm told is a forward snap-kick. My plan was thwarted by an unruly bit of rubber mat that leaped up and grabbed one little toe (right next to the big one) at the point of maximum acceleration - the mat and the dummy were obviously working together. I'm told that it is impossible to sprain a toe, but until someone discovers a way to do so, this will serve as an adequate substitute. I can barely walk, as the toe is twice normal size and displaying quite a variety of bright colors that I know shouldn't be there. Does anyone know of a reliable way to heal such a wound in minimal time? I'd like to be able to get even with the dummy and his co-conspirator tomorrow night, if possible!

Quite, but the school will only let me have a rubber one on the mat, else the dummy would be a pile of fluff in the corner by now.:-D "Another day done; all targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly." - Jennie Agard, McGuckin Hardware Systems Manager

My plan was thwarted by an unruly bit of rubber mat that leaped up and grabbed one little toe (right next to the big one) at the point of maximum acceleration I see the problem. The forward snap kick ( not the real name but very descriptive ) should be delivered in a two step manner. If done correctly the first motion of the foot is vertical - no horizontal motion. This is done by lifting and snapping the knee at the target and then rotating the leg forward when the knee has reached maximum extension. There should be no body lean at all. The impact area should be the ball of the foot or the heel depending on what technique you are using and your angle of attack. If you had done it correctly you could not have snubbed your toe. However I must add that some years ago when I was still active in the sport I was competing in Oklahoma City in a regional meet and when attempting a snap kick move my opponent blocked it with a knee lift and I jammed three toes on his knee. They got bigger than a cucumber and kinda red/purple looking. The Dr. gave me some muscle relaxant and some aspirin and I was OK in about a week. Didn't compete any more in that tournament however.

Ah, you know precisely the problem I see. Nice to know that it will go away eventually!:-D I knew about the vertical bit first, of course, but I was so intent on my objective that I momentarily forgot. Perhaps the mat and the dummy were not in cahoots, after all. I'll consider forgiving the mat. The dummy, however (they're all named "Bob" for some reason), is toast. Sorry about the tournament, but I can well understand your reluctance to continue at that meet.

The funny part of it is that all these exotic sounding names in foreign languages often translate to very simple, descriptive stuff, like "front snap kick".
