Worst bloody gi situation?

[karatekid101]

How did you remove the blood? I recently got hit in the face and bled a little bit and my mom rubbed out the blood.

(nice mommy)

I remember you telling me about the bloody lip insident. When you told me, it was not a nice picture!

Oxiclean works on protein based stains and breaks up the proteins. This would be the final step after the initial washing in cold water.

I had my nose broke sparring and refused to let my sensei stop the sparring for a little while. Both he and the other black belt I was training with knew that I would continue to spar after being hurt for at least a short period of time to learn how to continue if something like that were to happen on the street.

Well, when I started leaving a trail of blood on the floor from my nose bleeding, he stepped in and stopped it. The front of my gi had blood on it, one of the shoulders had blood and the upper pant legs had blood on them.

The three of us were having a private workout in a gym. You should have seen the looks I was getting as I walked to the locker room.

Got all the blood out but a small stain.

Side note- a sensei allowing this is very rare. The liability is too great. The only reason things continued was because of a special understanding between the 3 of us developed over many after class conversations over several years.

In another incident working out with a friend, he threw a backfist which landed with no force because I was moving away. What I didn't know was the stinkin velcro tab had cut me over the outside corner of my eyebrow.

He started to back up when he saw the blood and I charged (I didn't know I was cut)). As the fight went on, he was backpedalling a lot. Finally I noticed blood dripping on my gi.

Afterwards he said he never realized how intimidating it could be having someone with an entire side of their face coverd in blood continue fighting. (the blood spread around from the continous movement).
