but surely sayings like that must be in humor...i would like to think anyone who has made it to the level of teacher (not to mention O Sensei!) would have sufficient control of technique that s/he would not hurt their uke in the process...there is the occasional goof, uke's brain shuts down and he does death-wish ukemi, but short of a suicidal uke, wouldn't the teacher be able to control the situation?
