Re: [Yoshinkan] Re: Aikido in Self-Defense?

i think there was a question about how to get blood out of your gi. i used to
work in a medical laboratory, and found that hydrogen peroxide will completely
erase blood from fabric, just like those "oxyclean" comercials.
hope this helps, and be more carefull next time.

This is very interesting. Thank you for bringing this up.

In the U.S.A., people seem to think that unless someone
has already launched a determined attack against you, you have no
business doing anything to that person physically. But as far as I
am concerned, if someone has demonstrated his intention of being
physically aggressive, you are entitled to take action, even if you
are striking the first blow.

I don't know how this would stand up in a law court.
