That's right, I actually got a black eye from kendo. Hopefully it will be my one and only, ever. It was from practicing kata.
It happened on shoutou ipponme (小刀一本目). I was shidachi (仕立ち) with the shoutou (小刀). I was a little late with my sidestep and my block wasn't strong enough, so the uchitachi's (打太刀) strike knocked my shoutou (小刀) into my face. :p My left eye teared up but I finished the rest of the kata (形).
The next morning my coworker asked if I had a black eye, which really surprised me. It's not very noticeable, but there is a bruise on my left eyelid. So yeah, I got a black eye from kendo. ^_^
Update: Another picture, this one is 2 days after, on Tuesday. The bruise is even more apparent. :p

I dunno Sain... usually when I think of a "black eye", I think bruising of the socket around the eye. Nice work though! Make sure you tell the ladies they "should see the other guy".
Did your black eye cause you to have double eyelid??
Nope. I've always had double eyelids on both eyes. They're actually so deep that they fold over and look like one most of the time. :p
