How do you deal with undisciplinated or insubordinate students? I had a bad situation some days ago teaching TKD at my sambonim's dojang, I am the senior instructor and tried to disciplinate a young man (yellow belt) who where very cocky and unrespectful or unruly to me, so I asked him in a polite way to stay back and take a sit, he in a rebel way told me he was not going back and leave the mat and take a seat on a chair and gave me a not so nice look.
I command him againg to get inside the mat aand take a seat at the back of the dojang, he refused again and then I told him: With that maners I don't want you anymore in my class (the class I teach), he only asnwered: What ever....
At the end of the class I told the other students (this guy was listening) no matter sambonim, or instructor or co-studente who was in charge of the class he/she deserve all the respect and cooperation of the students inside the mat, and told them one saying my master has... "If you want to give commands you must learn to obey first.
In my more than 20+ years of TKD I never been unrespctfull with any of my teachers/sambonims/senseis, I always obeyed no matter what to my commander, when I was younger if one disobeyed to sambonim you could be beaten or expulsed from dojang.
