Another sad chapter in the life of the Macho MVP. Tonight, I was knife sparring in class and both my partner and I were wearing headgear and using padded training knives. I was fighting in an icepick (reverse) grip and stabbed my partner in the head with an angle 2 thrust. The tip of the training knife went through one of the ventilation holes in top of the headgear and actually CUT his head
(sorry, Cameron!). We had to compress it for about 10-15 minutes to stop the bleeding. The moral of this story is that we should all be extra careful when stick or knife sparring with the Macho headcages, because the vent holes leave openings for weapons to penetrate.
Take care and train hard,
Jim
