Hah. Don't suppose you're in San Francisco then? I'm in the habit of doubling as 'teacher' and 'beat-up' dummy. I recall vividly that after one particular session of being teacher and fall-guy, I had nail marks on my shoulders and neck as well as several bruises on my ribs. Now I tell everyone to make sure to at least cut their nails before engaging in contact.
If you can't hit hard, hit them where they're soft.
Be charitable when listening to people, but always ask questions.
