Well, I don't know about the UK, but American cops go through getting sprayed in the face with pepper spray so that they are better aware of what the stuff does to you. It seems to me like how you learn weapon techniques in aikido so that you can counter them, among other things. Doesn't seem all that crazy to me. I mean, my sensei gave me a good, strong incorrect kote hit the other day to give me a good idea of what I would encounter in my 16 and up mudansha division in the upcoming tournament (I assume that was among the reasons that he did so. I don't presume to know my sensei's motivations. He may have just wanted to hit me really hard.
