I was once a student of an instructor who got offended by another student who disareed with what was being taught. The instructor pulled some of us on the side and told us to teach the guy a lesson. People took turns beating this guy up. They knocked his head gear off of his head and really hit him hard.

 

I felt that this was really wrong for the instructor to do this.

 

Was this justified???

Absolutely not. That instructor should have had more integrity than that.

Wouldn't this be considered assault or something if done anywhere but a dojo?

Similar "lessons" can be taught without the use of violence or "beatings".

Hell no!

 

If we disagree, or rather don't understand something being taught...any doubts really we ask and everything is explained, justified, demo'd until we're satisfied.

 

This way not only do we come round to his way of thinking (and you always do) but you actually learn something as well! yay!

Not at all. That man should not be a martial arts instructor...

To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.

Not acceptable at all. There are better ways to to get a point across. Our Hanshi loves for us to ask questions and encourages us to question the way something is done. And if you disagree with a technique, he wants to hear about it and discuss why you feel that way. I don't think you learn much from a beating other than not to disagree with the Sensei agian.
