Gee, nobody needs to be verbally abused be they senior to you or you senior to them. Respect is alway welcomed and expected in the school. As for harming people, I am not sure what technique level is expected (full contact or what). Receiving a black belt (BB) in Japan does not mean that his techniques are more powerful than anyone elses although I have experienced people thinking that way (or wanting others to think that).

I knew someone who studied got their BB in Japan used far too strong techniques because he could not control his massive power which he obtained while in Japan. Our instructor at the time, also trained and promoted in Japan years before that, mentioned that a great BB not only has powerful techniques but great control of them as well. At the time that corrected the problem for a while.

I am not suggesting that this person be told this. This is just an old experience I had seen.

Abuse (verbal or otherwise) is not acceptable. Lack of control that can harm others is also not acceptable. Besides, nobody in a dojo should ever be threatening to kick another dojo member's rear end.

Talk to your instructor about this, perhaps he can talk to the other BB. A black belt should make you more humble, not prideful. But don't let it cause you to lose your cool in training--just do your best and let your results shine.

Respectfully,

Sohan

Confront the Black Belt and ask what his issue is before you decide to take this to your instructor.
