Heh. I'm the brutal brown belt 'round these parts. I got hit by Sensei. I think he pretty much gave me the same advice. I don't know how my face kept ending up where his fist was....
You sound a bit like one of my students about a year or so ago. Every time I'd make a mistake in a technique, he'd get hit in the face. It didn't have to be a big mistake, either.

Now, it's probably worth noting that he was a brown belt at the time.

And that he is one student who makes a point of trying to mess up my techniques on a regular basis. He keeps me on my toes. It's nice to have one student like that, but I'm glad it's just the one at the moment.
