In a shocking turn of events that has stirred up heated debates online, a martial arts instructor was removed from a local kung fu academy after reportedly crossing the line with students during training sessions.
According to witnesses, what started as traditional kung fu lessons quickly spiraled into a bizarre, high-pressure environment where the teacher allegedly pushed students far beyond safe physical limits. Some students claimed they were forced to perform advanced techniques without proper guidance or warm-up—leading to injuries and distress.
But that wasn’t the most surprising part.
Several students came forward saying the instructor made them fight each other blindfolded in what he called a “test of true instinct.” Others mentioned being pressured into doing pushups on their knuckles until they bled, all under the guise of “building inner strength.”
“He kept shouting about the ‘warrior’s way’ and how pain is an illusion,” said one student. “It felt more like a boot camp from a movie than a kung fu class.”
Parents of the younger students were outraged after learning what had occurred behind closed dojo doors. The school administration acted swiftly, suspending the teacher indefinitely and launching an investigation.
While some students defended the instructor, calling his methods “old school” and “hardcore,” others said the experience had turned them off martial arts altogether.
One student summed it up best:
“I came to learn kung fu, not survive it.”
The academy has since brought in a new instructor known for a more balanced and respectful approach, hoping to rebuild trust and restore the true spirit of martial arts: discipline, respect, and inner peace.
