Re: Tongue Piercing

A colleague of my father once got his weeding ring caught in a pertruding nail on the back of a lorry. Once the vehicle started moving the poor guy was dragged by his finger until it gave way (the finger - not the vehicle nor the ring).

I never wear my wedding ring for practice - mainly because it's in the way when i work with bokken or jo. I can do the techniques with the ring on, but it lessens control of the weapon a little bit and it gives this nasty sound of scratching wood when I slide the jo through the hand.

I second the suggestion to leave ALL jewelry out of the dojo.
