Cpr

[billbenson]

I was at a martial arts seminar this weekend. The really good instructors are good because they have been doiingg it for 50 plus years. They may be fat and not as agilie as a 20 year old, but they are skilled and have that 50 years of knowledge.

Something tragic happened this weekend. An instructor had a heart attack. It was not doing anything strenuous. Two guys who knew CPR saved his life waiting for the paramedics. We are now putting into place a mandatory requirement off CPR to train in our ddojo.

Got a portable defibrillator there? They're not that expensive and the dojo might save on insurance by getting one.

Good Idea. Doesn't change my point though. A heart attack can happen anywhere. CPR knowledge can save lives out on the street or anywhere.

I took a CPR class once... just to know how to do it. You never know who will need your help.

I should probably take another "refresher" class.

It changes your whole perspective when it saves a friends life.
