Yes, a bunch of times, but never for a serious reason. I’m old but still spar full contact. Sometimes a glancing blow will slow down some of these young guys that have too much ego. You want to go a little too hard? Accidents happen.
As an aside, I’m not much on kicking unless it’s for range finding. It’s too easy to lose balance if your opponent is skilled. You don’t want to end up on the ground. I much prefer knees. A knee to the thigh will drop just about anyone with agonizing pain.
Irl, a simple poke in the eye will stop just about anyone too. The same works with contact to the throat. You just want maximum pain with as little risk as possible. Then exit quickly… Don’t be a hero.
