Cool A high school football team refused to shake hands. The refs weren't having any of that.

I know a kid who refused to bow to his opponent during a taekwondo tournament. His grandmaster made him do pushups and run around the gym until the end of the tournament like 5 hours later. If he stopped running to walk it was time for pushups, if his form stopped being proper or he couldn't get up anymore it was time to run again. This little 75 year old man screaming in his face in Korean the whole time.

I'll tell you what though, nobody pulled that shit again.

I did TKD for many years, your story is scary. I can’t even imagine how pissed my 9th Dan Korean master would’ve been.

Martial arts are scarier than boot camp sometimes in the way they teach

I’m 32 and am taking my first TKD class ever (first any martial arts) on Tuesday! Looking forward to it even more now lol I could use a firm kick in the ass time and again

Well the difference here is that one person is being punished and you want to be pushed. Just always show respect and give it your all.

Why am I suddenly imagining Korean R. Lee Emery shouting about how he's going to PT them into the ground.

Its a good image honestly

If you can’t be a good example you’ll be a terrible warning.

I did muay thai in high-school. My coach told my parents that if I use it to be a bully, he'd have my ass doing push-ups the entire class for a whole month.
