Just wanted to bump this thread.

I will eventually get around to discussing handwraps, but it will be a long post and I'd rather do an instructional vid on youtube. I just do not have a camera at the moment.

I was planning on bumping and sticking this, so here goes. I'll also have a couple tidbits to add this weekend.

Thank Sinister, he had the initial idea. I'm looking to pick his brain in this thread. LOL. He should have some sound advice and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for making this a sticky Sinister. It would be tedious to bump it all the time. LOL.

I'm quite interested in this. When ya have the time please post.

Christ, I forgot all about this thread. Here's two suggestions that I've used in practice in the Gym.

Vitamin K: As you see, Vitamin K is a pretty natural coagulant. But more importantly it's very helpful if you know your Fighter is a nose-bleeder or bruises easily. You have to be careful just how much you use because it can restrict bloodflow to a detrimental point if overused. But if you're around a Fighter for a training camp and notice he bleeds during sparring, or marks up easily, this could be a saving grace that earns you a good reputation.

Arnica Montana (or if you prefer a more manly name, Wolf's bane): Arnica is one of few things Hippies got right. This stuff is phenomenal for bruising, and especially works well with the thin-skinned. Right now it's the single most popular Doctor-recommended homeopathic remedy, and who is recommending it? Plastic surgeons to women before and after surgeries to minimize bruising and heal a wound faster. I learned of using this for Fighters from Mick Williamson, who used it for Ricky Hatton. Ricky's known as a terrible cutter:

Both of these items come cheap. I recommend Arnica by Boiron (the pellets), and particularly the 12c dilution. That's the one best for surface bruising/trauma. If you can't get a hold of 12c, 30c will do. Make these an essential part of your cut kit, especially if you have access to a Fighter who really needs help at least a week before the Fight.
