Strict Dicipline in martial arts schools

[mantis.style]

I want to say though, that I've never been to a school that ever had push-ups as punishment for poor technique. Usually, poor technique would result in me getting hit during sparring anyway so if my technique is poor, I suffer for it anyway. The way I was taught was that the training is hard. We hit for real where and when we can and drills and exercises are supposed to be done to our max. Also in class is where we make the most of having other people of different sizes and skill levels to practice against and not practice forms. If I don't take the time to practice forms outside of that class, it is my own fault for not having good form and hence, my own fault for getting hit when it comes to it. General scenario that I hope explains how it worked for me.
