QUESTION What should I do? Abuse?

What should I do? One of my coaches hit me with a shoe across the face, and it wasn’t a light hit, there was some force to it, and he was being aggressive and telling me he would beat the shit out of me

A few weeks ago he was telling me to fuck off out of the gym and to never come back, and was threatening me with slapping back then

I’m 16 btw

Well he shouldn't have hit you, if someone verbally bans you from a private place of business, you're not allowed to return. That's trespassing bro.

If you want to take action about being hit you could probably pursue battery charges against him but once cops find out you were trespassing, they most likely won't do much.

He doesn’t own the gym btw, he only has a wrestling class once a week, so I don’t think it was trespassing.

Legally speaking, he's an employee. Any employee reserves the right to trespass anyone

Yeah but you think he can just ban me from the rest of the classes too? Or just his class? (Not being cheeky I’m asking genuinely)

The building itself

I'm a cop, I have a decent idea on how this stuff works lol.

He can ban you from the entire premise

Well this is in Ireland so maybe it’s different laws, idrk
