That's physically impossible unless you have 3 or more legs.

Maybe not even then, unless you humpty-dumpty the definition of "every". My sensei likes to tell a story about his first teacher saying to him once, "So, you think you can't be moved?"

My sensei was a strong young guy who had been training for a bit and who thought his fundamentals were quite strong, including his stance and centeredness and all that good stuff -- so he said, "Yes," and then braced himself for some kind of strong physical attack.

Instead, his sensei -- who was quite a bit smaller than him -- stuck a finger in his ear.

To hear my sensei tell it, rarely has anyone hit the mat so fast or so hard.
