Guy Speaks
Guy Grundy speaking. I am looking forward to sharing with you guys a funny story each and every month from the Grundy archives of my life. I have a lot of funny stories. Some are embarrassing, crazy, or just plain weird! But then again all good stories encompass one of these elements!
I have lived a very exciting and eventful life. I suffered from malnutrition, severe acne, I was unable to read or write at thirteen and was left to fend for myself at the age of 16. I will bring you stories from bodybuilding, MMA/Fighting and other areas of my life that have had me shaking my head!
Let's start off with this little gem that took place a couple of months ago!
The Kicker
I was sparring with a former Australian Kick boxing champion while he was doing a tour in L.A. Anyway, we are boxing!
While going about 30%, just getting used to each other so we could set the tempo. After less than 30 seconds, this twit throws a right round house kick straight to my head. I wasn't expecting kicks as we were boxing and he wasn't wearing shin pads. I braced just in time and took the kick to the head.
Thankfully, I have an extremely hard head. I shook my head and said "What was that?". I was training with Eric Paulson who is a very respected fighter and trainer at the Inosanto academy and I was a guest, so I didn't go after the guy, plus I have to stay out of any trouble till after my citizenship comes through.

That was the first thing that came into my head, other than his right foot! It was a good kick - I have to say! Anyway, my right eye was split open, ruptured blood vessels in the eye, and a very attractive black eye to follow.
I am friends with some professional fighters and we decided to super glue the gash rather than stitched it as it is faster and leaves less scarring. It works really well!
I have a scar on the right eye in the exact same spot. So my symmetry is very good. I now have 4 scars on my face: 3 around the eyes, and a fourth under my chin. Kioyko counted all my scars and I had 15 on my body. I think I best slow down...
Freddie George, who took care of me, had his eye socket broken a month earlier and had surgery to help correct his balance and eye sight, so his balance is off at times. I have my eyes closed while he super glues the cut closed, he then starts fanning me with his hand to help it dry.
I am feeling good at this stage? I can feel the nice cool breeze drifting onto my face. The next thing I know Freddy has slapped me right in the eye, his balance went bad. And he whacked me straight on the gash he just closed.
It hurt a little, just quietly! I could handle the kick to the head, I could handle the slap to the head, but the worst part was that he had toilet paper in his hand when he slapped me in the head, so I had toilet paper stuck to my eye.

That sh*t was there for 3 whole days, guys. It's hard to be cool when you have a wad of toilet paper stuck to your eye. I don't know what the moral of this story is, but what I do know is that super glue and toilet paper are bad combination for me.
