    There’s likely nothing in the fitness test that would make cutting part of someone’s ear to get their stud out necessary.

      ikr. In martial arts training, if someone can’t get jewelry off, we just wrap some medical tape over it.

        Exactly.

        But going to another building, grabbing some bolt cutters, returning, having her place her head on a table, slicing into her ear getting the cutter through the stud, and doing all of this aggressively was just an “error of judgement.”

        No worries!
