Bishop is protecting her . <| sep |> It seems to happen for me when my batteries get low . Could that be the problem ? <| sep |> Calming until you see the center . Ew . <| sep |> Dreadlocks are a Scottish thing . <| sep |> It can do , it shouldn ' t especially while trainingcomps are a little different as people can be a tad aggressive . Mostly why you get hurt is due to two things , one is the person you are fencing is not disciplined and being sloppy . The other is you ' re being a dumbass and getting too close and walking into the blade . The only other time it will hurt is getting hit in a sensitive area but that shouldn ' t happen much . Fingers can hurt like a bitch when they get hit but not the worst place I ' ve been hit , if you take my meaning .
