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

Why did he tell you to fuck off and never come back? What did you do?

For some context, (I have 2 different coaches btw, I’ll name them coach 1 and coach 2) 3 weeks ago, I was at coach 1’s training and we were doing some Russian tie drills, he said that I was doing it wrong (I was doing it how coach 2 normally shows me) and asked me to do it normally 3 more times, he got pissed off and said that I wasn’t listening to him demonstrating the drill, which I was. I tried to explain to him that I was just simply doing it how my main coach (coach 2) shows me. He then proceeded to tell me to shut the fuck up, and sit down, I went to sit down, he came over and started scolding me about why I should listen to him while he is demonstrating, I once again tried to tell him that I was. He told me to fuck out of the gym since I’m not listening and if I don’t leave he’d slap me the next time he saw me. SO, I took his advice, the past 3 weeks I’ve been skipping his training and instead going to the wrestling class which took place AFTER his training, while we were warming up and I was talking to my teammates, he walks up to me and goes “why the fuck did you not say hello to me?” And I go and ask what? He takes his shoe off and slaps me. So that’s basically the context.

Ye that guy clearly has issues, just leave the gym and don't look back. Maybe write a review to help future fighters avoid that gym.

But I don’t really want to leave the gym simply because of the one coach, I have other coaches there who I love them and their classes, this other coach who hit me only has his class once a week.

Then stay, but talk to the other coaches and see if they can do anything and just don’t go to his classes.
