Martial arts instructors should allow students to hurt?

Varsity in the middle of a baseball game for more than a dozen runs, my coach, a former professional player, "said our pitcher, Tommy, throw the ball into the opponent when Hurler BAT.

"He hit him in the head!" said with emphasis, so of course my teammates, as his orders.

Tommy seems to be slowly on the hill, Dazed and Confused, and do not want to hurt another player, even if the opponent was doing a great job there burialDay.

Tommy closed or two steps, one step down and in, and at a rate low enough so that they do not constitute a threat to its counterparty.

The indignation of our coach, the canoe like a tiger creeping frustrated not to play like a scene from its specifications.

From this point on, Tommy was given the worst pitching duties, and if we lose badly, the coach kept him in play only prolong his misery.

I offer this episodeseen because it reminds me of what I have in martial arts.

Instructors have whispered, "Hit him!" different students to serve their own desires for a show, or the agreement reached.

This raises a crucial question: It 'always a teacher of martial arts, to promote personal injury, reasonable, or lead directly to yourself?

For example, if B beats A student, and students is ongoing
causing serious bodily harm to B, we want a
Teacher orSensei intervene and separate the two, in order to
Reduce the threat.

If A "got a dose of his own medicine" in the process,
We do not cry for him, unless his conviction was
Share and, of course,
undeserved.

But in most other scenarios, it would seem self-win for a teacher, and especially for the head of school, those that prevent damage to pay the rent, that from the course.

But this happens more often than we realizeespecially for students who believe they have been trained in a safe environment. But why?

Five reasons come to mind immediately:

(1) boredom. The instructors are at risk to leave the area if you repeatedly perform the same exercises in the same way, day after day. So to make things, sometimes leave their dojo, in turn, in a scene from "Fight Club".

(2) For a student of a notch. If the ego of a trainee shows too much, a teacher or a proxy --on behalf of a teacher who humiliates the offender.

To move (3) to terminate a student. One might think that taking him aside for a friendly chat would be more effective to do the trick, but many types of martial arts are not verbal, and surprisingly, avoid verbal confrontations.

(4) In order to prove to himself and others, "This stuff really works!" Surprisingly, even the most experienced martial arts students doubt their ability to defend themselves in a fight "real," saidthey can not resist the temptation to try a step or two, on a well-positioned to live and breathe crash test dummy.

(5) sadism. Where else, except for Dottie's Domination Dungeon, you get the people who pay to beat her to scream at her practice almost to death and then he bows in submission and gratitude?

Martial arts, the need and confronts the violence. Here are some random accident.

But to encourage them notNo matter how you rationalize, is more than stupid.

It is a crime.
