and if that's the same warm up as every one else. Did, that its not and won't be considered a punishmentsDoing various exercises due to being late for an MA class isn’t strictly punishment in every dojo. Depending on how late a student is to our class, he/she may have to do more exercises before they’re allowed on the floor. Why? As a warmup. If you walk in and everyone is in the middle of doing 100 roundhouse kicks during basics, you shouldn’t just jump right into it. That would be a great way to pull something. My CI in that instance will have the student do some pushups, jumping jacks, etc. then stretch a bit on their own before lining up. Punishment or not is in the eye of the beholder.
Nothing cultish about making someone warm up adequately before joining the physical activity.
