back when I was doing point fighting (before Kykushin and Enshin), this was late 80's-- I used to do demostrations with a set of live Kama blades.
I studied endless hours of Tadashi Yamashita and his wonderful weopons work and then would practice in the back yard.
I only cut myself once, also. Left tricep with the blade in my right hand as I was swinging the blades across my body. It wasn't a bad cut, but it sure scarred up ugly.
In my single days I used to tell girls I was in a knife fight ;P
They thought that was sexy. ;D
