"First aid" - tips and techniques for martial artists

Posted on Categories Home

Under the tutelage of the teacher Igor Dovesenski, this Sunday in the Skopje dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia a seminar for first aid was held.

During the event, the members of the Organisation for the study of classical Japanese martial arts “Taiyou e no Michi” were taught the forms of first aid given to persons which have been hurt in car or other forms of accidents, burn victims or drowning victims, but also in cases of different sudden acute conditions dangerous to the well-being of those closes to us.

We now convey some of the impressions of sempai Vladimir Antovski.

“We are happy that Sensei held for us another one of those seminars where the other side of the martial arts is studied. The giving of first aid during injuries, accidents and other forms of misfortunes is a truly priceless skill that can save someone’s life or even save ours. We went through a few of the most important and common situations such as giving first aid during a heart attack, stroke, choking, internal and external bleeding, poisoning by fumes or food, electrocution, but also assistance during different kinds of bone fractures. The situations were broken down and explained down to the details by Sensei, who in a incredible way transferred to us his substantial knowledge”.
