loool, that's gotta suck. I used to do Taekwon-Do and I was always extra careful when it was a little girl holding the pads. I'm by no means a small lad and there are many others who could have held the pads. Why the sweet 13 year old girl?
I did too, I quit though when I was at my green stripe belt, I forgot why :P
It's not uncommon to get kicked/hit/kneed/elbowed in a Muay Thai class. I've been taking Muay Thai for several years and it happens. It sounds like the OP was paired with someone who doesn't take their partner into consideration. Pad rounds are shouldn't end in such an injury. On the other hand, it sounds like the OP wasn't paying attention, otherwise she could have done something to prevent being kicked in the jaw. Especially since the partner threw a head kick instead of a body kick. The height difference isn't that much with thai pads. Either way, it always sucks to get kicked in the jaw
why were u sparring together in the first place? you deserve it
Spar with him again and get a nut shot when he's expecting the high kick
When I was taking kickboxing, I was paired with a woman who was at least six inches taller than I am, had a kick like a mule, and couldn't aim for beans. She was supposed to kick the pad I was holding, instead, she repeatedly kicked my arm. I was so bruised, my boss thought my husband had beaten me!
This is not an FML and doesn't deserve an FYL or YDI. Accidents can and will happen in a martial arts class, ESPECIALLY a fighting style as brutal as Muay Thai. But I do have sympathy for you--I used to take classes in Muay Thai on a regular basis, and I know that this sucks. But hey, the more you sweat, the less you bleed, right?
You were in an environment where you could get kicked in the face ... and you got kicked in the face. Is there anything that I might be missing?

At least the jaw kick just made him look like a jerk to the rest of the class.
You can't 'see' it coming, douche. If you're practicing patterns and you think he's going low and throws high, there's nothing do you can do. It's the exact same movement until the last moment. If you could lift your leg to kick, you would know this. His fault, either way. Props to OP though for taking a Muay Thai class, stuff is good to know. I wouldn't want to take a knee from you.
