We martial artists scorn your first aidery! We are killers not healers! We cry "ph33r my 1337 5k1llz!" not "be glad of my 1337 sk1llz in case of an emergency!" Pah!
I'm scared of blood, when anyone gets cut in class I just run in the other direction. I'm the last person you'd want administering first aid I won't make any jokes about CPR though
i, on the other hand, am the unofficial first aider in my club... plus i have the best first aid kit ok, i know... i'm a nerd
Quarterly refresh, week from tomorrow. But I don't think I'll be pounding on the manniquins this time, I'm taking a bit of a leave from that job. Don't want to catch anything or be in a position where someone needs lifted while I'm pregnant.
Same here, downfall is that all the guys tend to swarm towards my bag for all minor/major cuts bumps, toe tapes etc, after class its a right mess. Also they can't figure out why my medi kit contains sparkly lip balm.
I'm part of the Links St John ambulance at my uni and have had plenty of first response training. I heard of some Jiu-Jitsu systems that included first aid basics trained from way back on the battlefields where they would recover wounded prisoners to gather information. Well heard this an age ago so its got my pinch of salt, has anyone else heard of this kinda thing?
LOL... they always laugh when i pull out my nail file but they don't root through my bag.. they're all scared just to go in the women's changing room silly boys
