Re: Uke with an Ego

Sensei, in this case was very effective. Most in the class learned quite a bit that day. This one fine fellow just decided that, on this day, his job was to help the rest of us learn restraint from planting an un-yeilding uke to the mat.

And he did that quite well!!!!!

Finally.......you want me to risk my delicate hands by smacking the hard head of Uke????? Just to get him to the mat?!?!?!? I think not....My golf game is bad enough...I do not need to further handicap my swing!!!!

I will say that if he were a regular member, I would have asked if he felt ok...because this type of behaviour is really not tolerated...but again...we do not have to tolerate it because we have no regulars that behave like this...
