People who take martial arts: Do you think it's awkward when...?

I don't take martial arts but I can imagine how you feel... In gym when ever we had to do the president's fitness test this year, [twice a year- one in the beginning- one at the end of the year] I was put with this guy I kinda like a little to hold him feet down when we are doing push ups and his mine. It's an awkward stance because you're on your knees and they're on their backs...
