I have been the "dummy" more times than I can count.
Our advanced class thinks it's funny as hell when the instructor is making a point about the angle of a strike, or the proper way to do it, and he is using one of the Black Belts as a percussion instrument. He's dead serious, asking "You guys see that? " and will repeat the move a couple of times (always a body strike, not face, btw). The "dummy" or "volunteer" is always wincing after the first two or three "examples", and, yes, we usually see what the instructor is talking about.....it's kind of obvious from the "dummy's" reactions...
Personally, I haven't had to ask, "Can I see that again?" when being used as a dummy. Either someone else in the class asks for a repeat, or the instructor asks if anyone wants to see the technique again. There are *always* those who do....
Ah, well. It is enjoyable, after all. By now, I'm used to walking (limping?) away from class with a few new bruises....
Peace--
