Shot in a Central London gym this short clip shows Nick and Sissel Tolass' continuing research into isolating the chemicals that are released into the body during an aggressive violent act. This is the first of many such tests so keep tuning in to the process blog over the next few weeks. For the curious, that's Tristan, Nick's first assistant peeling the sodden T-shirt from one of the fighters and packing it into a sealed bag ready to be sent off to Sissel's lab in Berlin.
Im not sure if you and Sissel have discussed this,but how different is the chemical release in a sparring match versus a real spontaneous fight for pride or one's life fueled by aggression or hate? does the impetus for the the violent act affect the chemical release and,in turn, the smell? does it differ for females?
