    Pictures of worst fencing injuries

    Ok, I know you guys might be getting tired of me and my high school engineering questions about fencing and weapons, but right now, I need pictures of injuries caused by fencing...

    Bruise pix included!

    Please help me out and send me some, along with your real name (first name only) and your location (as in state).

    I greatly appreciate it!!!

    I don't normally document my bruises - although my healthcare provider has tried several times to build a case against my husband .

    Seriously cannot help you at all.

    Thanks for at least replying.... Will you do me a favor and ask any of your fencing friends if they have pictures of their injuries? I'm looking for any injuries that show, not just bruises....
    I'd really appreciate it

    Perhaps responses would be more forthcoming if you stated what you wanted them for.

    Do bruises to my ego count? I have lots of them.

    I had an idea once, since all of the fencers in my club are rather proud of their war wounds, that we would take pics of the really good ones and put them up on a wall of pain on the club website. Then a few parents reminded me that the website is the first thing most parents of prospective club members see, and that pretty much killed the idea. So no, I don't have any good pics but I sort of wish we did...

    Congratulations. Not only do you (probably) win the battle wound contest, but that picture also made my roommate just about pass out. Well done.
