This occurred (and, I assume still does) from time to time in my old dojo. The sensei and other students had no problem with it. As soon as the beginner 'misses' and starts his dance routine, we would unleash a flurry of rapid attacks and drive the student across the dojo and occationally into the wall, if he didn't recover. (Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the brutality of Confound's earlier thread. More a kicking up the level of competition and pressure beyond the beginner's level at the moment of his dropping of spirit to do his dance.)

The students (who stayed) developed their zanshin quite quickly. It was also very good at setting a respectful tone for the whole class.

Try it. The next time he starts his dance (drops his zanshin), tear into him like a windmill into a tornado.
