I've been kickboxing for a few years now, always just once or twice a week for fun so I would consider myself amateur level for sure. Since I switched gyms two years ago I've started sparring as well. But I noticed that I get injured at least every couple of months. I've had a bruised knee, bruised thumb that hurt for at least two weeks, and today I bruised (or even broke, tbd) one of my toes for the second time.

Please enlighten me, is it normal to have this many injuries or is it a skill issue? I love kickboxing but this is getting frustrating!
