Today, I went to a six a.m. boxing class at my gym. Everything went fine, except I had a runny nose. As soon as it finished and I was saying goodbye to everyone something ran down my face, I somehow managed to pop the blood vessel in my nose. Fml

I don't think OP got hit in the face- if they had, why would they be surprised over the bloody nose? It seems more likely that the exertion made OP's heart beat faster, raising their blood pressure, and caused the vessel to burst. Either it burst while they were saying farewells, or it possibly burst earlier, but the pressure was enough to act as a makeshift tourniquet... Granted, the second is speculation on my part, as I don't know for certain if that is the case as I haven't had nose bleeds in a while.

No, people in boxing classes are strongly recommended not to spar until they've had at least 6 months practice, OP might be an amateur.

Isn't that expected from a boxing class?

Exactly what I thought; because it almost always results in horrible injury, boxing classes rarely ever spar with each other, so it's unlikely OP actually got hit in the face...unless they got hit back by a punching bag.

Lol... I doubt you're the first bloody nose they've seen and I doubt you'll be the last. Hard to be a boxer/boxing instructor if blood makes you queasy!
