Hello Kysogrham:
<<Well, its body language really.
That would be an interesting interpretation of ~body language~. I respectfully submit, there are many other equaly viable "interpretations" to such <si> "forbidden" acts of yawning, crossing arms, leaning.... but to each their own I suppose....
<<If you're allowed to spectate a class
Please explain ANY validity of preventing same??? (Your word choice "allowed" alarms me frankly...)
<<If you're spectating a class at my dojo, you're expected to sit properly
Ok, and are visitors given some kind of a sheet? Are signs posted re: what "proper" ~observation behavior~ is supposed to be???
<<yawning will cost you 20 pushups
How sad...
<<as will being late and a host of other things)
I do not mean to ~hijack~ the topic, so I will be gentle here... how do such odd ~punishments~ (IMV) get justified??? Habitually being late, or sufficently late that pushups are the substitute for whatever serves as your normal warmup ritual I suppose I comprehend to a minor degree... (sic. if I must)
! What are some of the other offenses & their consequences? Help me understand the reasoning, the thought process why such militancy has a purpose for participants or in this case spectators?
It is a line of "thinking" which... is obscenely difficult to understand...
