The only time I have asked to feel this kind of bouncy fajing force (from a visiting female master from the mainland who was teaching in a park in Hong Kong) I was rather rudely refused.
must have been your rumored strikingly good looks
really depends on the teacher and how they'er approached and when.
In a teaching environment you didnt feel it was kinda rude to interrupt her.
the better course would have been to talk with one of the students during a brake.
also if the teacher has no gate keepers then its even more pressure and kind of waste of time to deal with strangers.
In this very post, on challenges its laid out pretty well on how such things are viewed and handled.
Recently I was in Taipei with visiting with a teacher that I've seen on the web, and my students had asked about.
one of my students from the US was there too, he native Taiwanese
I watched and listened not wanting to interrupt his class, my student asked the teacher directly and was refused, even the teachers students refused him.
I watched understanding most of what was being done. Actually at that point I didnt really want to bother the teacher..but my student wanted to see and talk
with him.
quietly I spoke to one of the other students off line, touched hands as
they say and moved him using the same methods the teacher used although not to the same level.
different approach different results.
