I can relate to that mate. Similar discipline to martial arts. All well and good hitting punch bags & focus pads, or kicking thin air to improve your technique, but you really need to know what it feels like to both make and take impact.
Even if the ultimate aim is to avoid conflict, if you do get stuck with no choice then you need to know what it's like to be hit and to defend/block, as well as how to attack.
Sometimes you get hurt in training and in competitions. All part of the learning.

Competition wise, you sometimes need a "leveller" - collar bone/shoulder works well, or knee cap
