I haven't found anything besides cleaning and patching the blister and developing a "sole-thick" callous so it takes longer next time, but maybe some foot protection could work to prevent this injury... in my case it's almost mandatory in our dojo, as we share the place with other groups, and they don't always care to keep the floor in good order, so sometimes we've even got hurt with splinters in broken floor boards...
 I found this page with a foot protector... http://www.ninecircles.co.uk/erol.ht...ogle%26meta%3D and another model at e-bogu's kendo > kendo protector section ... hope it's useful for someone else! |

You are right, they do not hold through rigorous training. As I am practicing kendo and karate and the later forces you to slide your feet even more than in kendo, I got conditionned quite rapidly. I now still lose some skin, but it is not painful anymore! I basically stopped taping my feet and just dealt with the pain. Now it is all good! |

Luckily I live in the tropic,and in a casual ambiance, so wearing leather flip flops, helps to keep my feet rough!
also, correcting the way I slide my foot helped. After an extenous Dou practice, its very easy to blister your feet, if incorrect technique is used. A kendoka friend, suggested that I try cheap public bath soap, because it dries your skin, I have not tried it yet. hope this helps! |

I have seen many post about blister, but no one has mentioned using a pumic stone at the end of a shower to remove dead skin. I have also found the pumice stone to energize the skin and it seems to help the healing.
I just set the stone at the botom of the shower and go over the feet at the end. Small circles over the whole foot. There are also soaps that have abrasive additives in them that can help. Good luck. |

Perfect timing! I just got a blister on my toe (the big one) and its not bad at all. I wouldn't mind trying to use that blister band-aid thing, but I haven't seen it around stores. So I'll keep looking. |

A search will probably bring something up, and we did also cover it in great detail in the Kendo Clinic article in Issue 1.4.

Hey Banza Joe,
No apologies needed, i think it could be more than helpful to me too! Actually, I never got such dramatic blisters as yours!!! Ouch!!! I have been doing martail arts for quite some time so my feet are rather well conditioned! Seems like it will be a life long problem, but there is hope I get them now rarely and they are not as serious as when I started! But blisters the are one hell of a pain in the... foot! :-( (lame joke) Your right, powder will make your feet slippery however, you need your feet to be slightly slippery otherwise it makes it hard to glide on the floor! The downside is that it might be tricky to be able to stay on your own two feet while doing fumi-komi! I'll try the powder and let you know how it works! My reply is not really helpful for you but I am looking forward at reading a reply that might give us a little more insights! Cheers and thanks for bringing up this issue! |
