pineapple Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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??? What works works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzychicano Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Absolutely not. That instructor should have had more integrity than that. What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. - Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smr Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Wouldn't this be considered assault or something if done anywhere but a dojo? Matsumura Seito Shorin-Ryu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Jules Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Similar "lessons" can be taught without the use of violence or "beatings". ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_UKWC Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Was this justified??? 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!

GhostlySykanRyu Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gheinisch Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 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.

AngelaG Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I don't know - he probably learnt a valuable lesson - such as not going back to that psychopath's dojo!

Souldburned Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I would be afraid of having classes in that dojo. That´s not the way of teaching a lesson..it is very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
