My favourite has always been "I see no Wing Chun!". Funny thing about beatings is that all people, including martial artists look the same when they're wearing one.

I'd suggest training with some good taiji guys if you can find them for that kinda thing.
and your right, a beating looks like a beating no matter what lol

My Karate teacher used to have a training devise. When a student wanted to start competing outside the school he had a test and a lesson lined up for them. The test was to face another student much better than yourself and keep fighting back for three rounds, he'd film it and if you succeeded he'd be satisfied that you wouldn't piss yourself and flee the ring he'd show you the film and start coaching you on how to compete. I remember cringing as I watched the film, my opponent had been training for twenty years against my two and the only limitation he was given was 'Don't knock him out'. For the first two rounds it was hard to believe that I even practiced a martial art, let alone attended the same school. It was that bad.

That sounds like a really good idea!
I started competing in school wrestling so competition is mandatory for everyone and I never got to see anything like that because I was competing since day 1.

That's really throwing you in the deep end. What have you learned by the end of day one? You really suck at wrestling. Damn good lesson.

I got that kind of humility on my first night at Karate and again at BJJ. I went to Karate with the belief it would be a room full of wimps and got my ass handed to me by a three month student. It wasn't the same arrogant mindset on my first night of BJJ but the ass-whupping was about the same.

Yeah I remember going into pro boxing & getting beat up really bad a few times and it was a shocker and I realized I'm not good enough to be a heavy weight boxer because I've spent too much time doing other stuff and boxing is just a small part of my repertoire.
Same thing trying out combat sambo I got knocked out with a serious headbutt counter to a headbutt of my own & I realized I was pretty crap when I was out of my element but it was a learning experience. for sure

Headbutts are probably one of the simplest fighting moves on the planet. You have to try really hard to mess up a headbutt. The only time I've successfully defended against a headbutt was on the rugby field. The stupid fool rocked right back so I could not only see it coming I had time to react, just ducked my own head forwards and rather than having him smear my face with his forehead he face-butted the top of my head. Every other person has just shot forwards and smashed my nose.

I was the taller fighter and I went for the thrust and as I ducked with it the other guy came up and got me right in the cheek bone & layed me out.
He got disqualified because the rules say headbutt contact has to be made with your face guard on theirs but I learned how to do headbutts against shorter people from that event.
I feel bad for the guy who face butted your head because it's practically what I did and I know how it feels lol
I noticed people who headbutt and swing their heads back tend not to have a clue on what their doing and are probably self trained & I've always been taught like a goat or ram straight on.

It is a more powerful technique but it's really risky to arch first. Just about everybody has the power in their neck to smash someone's nose from a stationary start, you go for the bigger shot after you've done their nose and watered their eyes and know damn well that they won't see it coming.

I don't feel more power from the arch I feel more power from straightening out my neck and stepping into it like a football tackle but head first instead of shoulder first.
The arch feels deceptive and more useful against a shorter opponent where thrusting forward is not always an option.
However I'm a big fan of sweeping sideways headbutts from the clinch if I can't get straight on.
And I agree that headbutts are great for tearing up the eyes to set up a power shot especially in clinch range it's one of my strongest weapons.
