Generally the #1 rule with fire is that you ARE going to get burned, so if you cannot fully accept that.. then you are just not ready for fire.. and as soon as you accept that then you are ready.
Giving someone a lit torch to rub on their arms and stuff is really a good way to teach someone about fire.
The whole thing about swordchucks is that you need to know how they work before you start using them... they are MONSTROUSLY hot and if you don't know what you are doing you will either burn your hands severely, or you will drop them.
How they work is that the fire is constantly circling your hands, half the avenues of movement at any time are also superheated air so trying to escape the heat field you constantly generate can lead to superheated gloves OR a few seconds of relief from the heat field so its important to stay moving to escape the heat or you generally will BBQ your hands (gloves are mandatory, current model will give you 2nd-3rd degree burns without them even if used correctly).
