After so many Men and Sayu Men Cuts in the first 30minutes of training, my shinai decided to dig a blister into my palm. There’s also a tiny one on the anterior distal end of the 5th Metacarpal. Yea I’m so technical with my terms now. And I have a big one the bottom of my foot near my toe(We haven’t learnt about Tarsal or Metatarsals so I can’t really enlighten you with any fancy jargon). ‘The more pain you are in, the harder you are training’ is what the Senpais say. I hope its true =o
The only other time I can recall having nasty blisters was after iceskating. You’re supposed to get them anyway.
Had any blisters in any unusual spots? I reckon the one at the bottom of my foot is.
And I’m excited about getting uniform. Will show you a picture of me in it

that looks painful =( The only blister I remember having was when I was young and touched the toaster. Never had any when I went iceskating because I’d put bandages on beforehand.

WHAT! On the bottom of your foot?
My first day at work in heels was really bad.
I had about 3-4 giant blisters in odd places and it hurt for ages.
