I've never fallen over from a missed kick ever nor have my sparring opponents (though I suppose what's a miss or potential hit for me isn't for GURPS).

Doesn't feel right though as the sparring is pretty intense.

A Miss in Gurps is when you loose your balance kicking, not that you failed to connect the kick with your sparring partner (which is normally a dodge or parry).

I've seen my share of falls and sprains from people while kicking a punch bag. Beginners and even intermediate kickboxers and nak muays, while trying to perform simple side or front kicks or sometimes while doing spinning kicks, jumping or not.
