He ate all the leaves off the top, but not the fruit 🤣

Is it normal to bruise/get hurt during a lesson?
I had some time to kill and was offered a free self defense lesson by someone I trusted. I have no self defense or martial arts experience. I’m trying to be as vague as possible, so I’ll just say that it was a Chinese form of martial arts.
I have no idea what is normal. I was shown how to throw a punch by being punched in the chest multiple times. It’s been several days, and I’m bruised. There was also a lot of pressure point stuff that ended up bruising, I was taken to the ground multiple times in various forms.
I feel really weird and guilty because I gave consent for everything, but I didn’t know it was going to hurt that much or be that intense. At the time, I wasn’t focusing on whether or not things felt okay, just cooperating with the lesson. Now in retrospect, I feel a little weird about it because it just seems like that level of “demonstration” on a beginner for a casual self defense lesson seems like it could have been excessive. Am I overreacting?

I saved a life
This adorable baby got stuck in between the screen and the glass of my sliding door, and wasn’t able to find the gaps out. Poor dear got exhausted. I made sugar water and fed it to him with a dropper, and then scooped him up and put him in the sun outside with some more droplets for the road. He rested a while and eventually flew off. Godspeed, little buddy 😭
