That may be the worst sensei I've ever heard of. What kind of fucking teacher assaults their students?

I've had almost 14 years of martial arts in two different disciplines and three different gyms and never encountered a bad instructor.

I never did martial arts, but doesnt "sparring" indicate a training fight?

Because why would anybody complain about getting hit in a training fight?

Oh, and is it standard in the US for martial arts classes to be for all age groups? In my country, they are all divided into different age groups.

"What I didn’t know then was that the first women, the woman who I had accidentally clipped with a stray kick the week earlier, had spoken to the instructor since. She had, apparently, received a fractured bone in her wrist. "

That's serious. The woman acted correctly, IMO - she told the guy who accidentally clipped her, and told the instructor.

The instructor, however was incompetent and negligent. The sparring pairs were obviously too close together. As the guy in overall control, it was his responsibility to see to it that didn't happen and to do something effective about it when it did.

The instructor's response did nothing to fix the real problem. However, it did absolve himself of any culpability and dumped the responsibility onto his pupils. As described, he is an unremitting piece of shit and simply unsuitable to be an instructor.

The correct response for the original writer would, IMO, to leave the course immediately and never go back. And tell anyone interested why.

I remember wrestling with women as an exercise when I did martial arts. I suspect a lot of them picked their partners for inappropriate reasons. Always a letdown to be groped in strange places for wrestling purposes.
