Long story short, it worked and they give you a whole new respect. So don't get sucked into the conversation and being lazy. You do the techniques as you are supposed to do them. It is their job to respond the way they are expected to respond by defending themselves or whatever the exercise was.
The only way to fix this is to have a talk with the instructor. If that does not fix the situation, then you are in the wrong martial arts school. You might get the instructor to do something about a problem or problem students, But, I doubt you will get the instructor to change his ways. So again I say talk to him. If that does not work you have two choices. Either put up with things as they are, or leave and go somewhere where they train as they should.

Kick harder, so they make an attempt to avoid you later on. Or, that will be their wake-up call to do more.
If that doesn't work, talk with the instructor after class, politely tell him or her that you're time's being wasted on that person, and ask that you not be paired off with that person anymore.
However, go easy on the person who's tired (exhausted). That shows they've tried hard already.
Tell them that if they don't want to focus on training to leave and come back when they're ready to take it seriously. They're not only jeopardizing their own progress, but yours as well. Be assertive and if need be get an instructor involved.
Refuse to train with him. You're are a paying customer, no one can force you to train with him.
Where I train, we just give them motivation to respond. If they aren't willing to respond to the training, we use them to demonstrate what it means to allow yourself to be a victim. Usually when they are put "on the spot" for being a sub-par student they begin to bring up their efforts.
Yes i agree with most people here. I always make them pay for their laziness. I am more fortunate now that being at the higher end of the scale i dont have people around me prepared to train poorly but when i did i made sure to go much harder on them so they realized they were there to learn not socialize. Speak to your instructor they will fix the problem and if they dont then just put more sting into your training, they will get sick of it sooner or later.
I disagree with most of the answers that you got in this one. You role is there to learn, not to force other people by hurting them. You do not have rights on other people. The average answer that I saw here is to force by hurting them, but that is not the case. and that is a very bad influence for life skills also in general.
The attitude that I saw in the answers in this one is forcing. Martial arts are not for forcing, either for dictating, is for aiding not to get forced. Keep on mind of that. People that are good in real self-defense are the ones that they are just not willing and many of them, never were willing to get forced. There are the ones that love their interdependence and differences as well. Some of them, are the ones that have what we called honor. Respect for all human beings, is part of martial arts.
To answer your question talk to your instructor to solve it.
Doubt them. Push them harder and become their master. People respond when they are doubted and if they don't they are not worth your time. They can not benefit you- they don't want to grow like you do. It's time to move on if they won't push you back.
Okay,say your practicing a throw,kick,punch or whatever your martial art is,what do you do when you partners have a can't-be-bothered attitude? Or when they treat training like a social event where all they do is talk about stuff which doesn't help training whatsoever?
Do get me wrong,a little conversation is fine,but when it stops them (and therein me) doing the set task? Hell no. Or if they're tired and refuse to focus and do the work. I find it hard to train when my partner isn't,especially in contact sports. So how do you lot deal with it? Many thanks.
