[Ansteorra] Story from Crown Tourney

[Liam Gordon]

Good Morning to the List,

I was the one who stated fighting indoors could cause more injuries.  I pull
that from experiences in the MMA, Martial Arts and wrestling arenas.  If
folks will notice, during those competitions, that, for the most part, the
areas where the particpants are engaged in their sport, the floor was
padded.  This is to keep the participants from injuring themselves when they
go to the ground.

And, from my experiences, we as a group of martial artists, have more body
injuries compared to heat injuries.
