- Yes. In the armed services I ran across a black belt who taught unarmed
- combat. He took a perverse delight in pointlessly demonstrating
- techniques of unarmed combat to novices - painfully. He took
- uninitiated recruits and asked them to attack. When they did
- he reacted forcefully, more that was necessary, to show how
- the attacker could be incapacitated. It was pure sadism and served
- no purpose. When volunteers were not forthcoming, he began
- to select people from among the recruits and demonstrate.
- All this, in an "introductory" first session.
-
- A friend of mine was there one month after me, shoto kan 3rd dan, judo
- 1st dan, and got extremely upset. He is tall and skinny and managed to get
- himself selected to demonstrate a "defense against a kick". My friend
- told the idiot that he didn't want to, and the guy (who was large at
- 195, about 95 Kgs), said to get on with it or he would "get really nasty".
- Suffice to say that he needed major orthodontal treatment after being
- kicked in the face with a size 11 army boot.
-
- My friend "inherited" the instructor's position shortly after
- he completed his basic training and an advanced course.
