No idea. We pulled our son. Met other families at the new dojo who had too. I expect there's some kind of grey area around physical 'correction' for a sport like karate. But we felt that sensei crossed the line.
There were also a couple times when our son came home with blood on his gi from being kicked in the face by older kids during unsupervised sparring. I understand learning stoicism is part of karate, but it was too much for us. Our son's much happier in the new dojo.
