I learned a valuable lesson today that I will probably forget by tomorrow.  DO NOT make a sarcastic comment, no matter how funny, that is directed at your Defensive Tactics instructor.  They have the power to make you very uncomfortable.  She looked at me and said "Class, I would like to introduce you to my demonstration partner for the day" as she pointed at me.  She might have said jokingly, "it looks like I have a new b**tch to you as a toy this morning" though, it's hard to tell since they both sound the same.

She then demonstrates a rear arm bar control move that planted me face first into the mat with a little more "authority" than we had been practicing with.  And if that weren't bad enough, I should have attempted to remember that lesson a few hours later before I once again decided to make a sarcastic comment.  That one got a rubber knife thrown at me from half way across the room.

All in all it was a good day.  LOL  

Sounds like a valuable lesson learned, even if it took a few times. Never judge a book by its cover comes to mind as well. I personally loved the Defensive Tactics course, especially since the last time I had it the now Sheriff was my training partner. Enjoy...

Next time save the comments until the training is done.......all of it LOL.

hnyangl - it was just perfect timing and that's too hard to pass up.   LOL
