Finger in the eyeball?
That’s BS.
And you don’t learn “forceful” techniques during a FI course.
Sometimes...just sometimes as a FI you run out of luck.
Maybe the student wasn’t ready for what was about to happen and maybe the student was.
I’ve been lucky in my years as FI but I can count my blessings where it was luck and not skill that saved the day.
