Bloooooooood on the carpet !

Hello and happy new year !

Let's talk about blood sight...

I have the chance to be in a lot of knife show in Europe and USA where I have been chating about knife fighting and fighting technics.
I have been also the witness of a lot of "knife gesticulating". (Timber !!!)
Of course there is some experts...

To often, I have seen a kind of panic when someone clumsy cut itself while taking knife on a table.
(Some table holder are really messy !)

Blood sight ! That's critical. I have seen some guy bleeding for 10 minutes before someone cured him.

First aid. This seems to be a major lack of "warriors" .
That's really important, as far as I am concerned, to learn human body and how to stop blood. Because if one of these days you are wounded, you will be happy to know how to...well... remain conscious.

Cheers,

PS: Chating around, I have heard a lot about angles, blade and "you don't know how I am baaad" design.
But all of this is pointless if you got the occasion to really test your knife.
Try it in the slaughterhouse !
It's where I go sometime with my students.
Period.
Cheers,
Fred and JM

A guy came into the gym locker room the other day with a bloody nose and you would have thought it was a chemical warfare attack. They called out the hazmat team with rubber gloves and masks to wipe up the drops of blood on the concrete. I agree that everyone should know how to stop bleeding... but you need to be a little careful around other people's blood.
Which reminds me, I recently nicked myself doing something stupid (is that redundant?) and when I mentioned to the bystanders that it was OK because I was HIV negative, they all sort of backed up and gave me this worried look. I guess they just never made the connection that it could be anybody.

That's the reason of the "Redscarf" pseudonym ?

Just kidding.

But as edge tools gesticulators we should really be informated about first aid.

CHeers,
