	<body><![CDATA[[QUOTE=Jonathan Hay;179782]No more Mr. Nice Guy. If another aikidoka (senior or otherwise) tries to challenge my technique he/she better be up to the same challenge from me (shihan excepted, of course).[/QUOTE]

You might just ask them who is teaching class, and point out to them that it is not them.

I had some fellow yudansha whose technique was lacking, who was of my dojo but who rarely trained, attempt to explain to me how to do a nikkyo joint lock so that it was more "effective" before they had even attacked me for the first time and even witnessed what I would do (and I had never done this technique on them in the past).  

What do you think happened when I applied the joint lock?  How hard and fast do you think it was applied?

And then I got this look of surprise and a "don't break my arm!"

Some people have it coming.
