Hi Yakup,
I do my wining after training, and then it's just a couple of sips of a good Syrah. Whining, however, is never appropriate on the mat or off.
But seriously, when working with a junior student, I usually let them do the technique on me and don't give them a hard time. I try to guide an inexperienced nage through the technique with my ukemi until they see how things should work. This also gives them a sense of confidence and helps them relax and be more effective. I gradually ramp it up as their skill increases. I think the beginners working with beginners have the toughest time. And they are the most apt to get hurt.
On the other hand, I just love it when I am working with my seniors and think I've really got them good when suddenly I go flying across the room! Such good fun!
cheers,
Melissa
