I personally would have left if someone came at me with a ball bat. First lesson or not. I've had some rather nasty injuries over the years, and Ajarn Chai (unintentionally) broke a root of my tooth. But that was with a focus mitt, and he's never hit me with anything harder. ( not that he'd need too, hit can hit plenty hard with just that )

I've been hit with Escrima sticks, but not during a Muay Thai class. ;-)

So, I'd say no, in my experience, it's not common practice.
