I think you missunderstood the situation. These uke were out to prove a point, trying to make me look bad. But don't worry. Nobody was hurt. I just applied the locks and throws a little harder than usual.
No,no. I've been there too. But they're often right as well as contradicting what you already know is right.
Pardon me if I was wrong, but I assumed you were referring to teachers here rather than uppity self-important students. ( I trained with a high dan grade once who was terrible for doing this, only you couldn't down him. Terrrrriffic class though..)
I find annoying the phenomenon of the student who goes to a seminar, ignores the teacher, and then tells you you're wrong because they learned the "right" way and there's no point in paying attention to some guy just because he's a visiting shihan from Hombu, for example.
