I don't think verbal abuse is appropriate in the dojo. If there are clear expectations about what is appropriate and what is not and one understands the attitude required at the dojo, then the most that should be required for any discipline is a calm discussion with a student as required.
Surprise attacks (or more accurately, attacks with unusual timing) and exploiting weaknesses are an important part of training
if for the purposes of helping a student improve and if practiced appropriately. They are not appropriate if used in bullying.
A good question that may be worth asking in this case is: Are other students in the dojo having trouble with this guy?
