Not that I know of, though I have a friend who does martial arts with his girlfriend.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Personally or professionally?

Sure.  First name basis.

Well, a few dozen then, professionally.  And I've become friendly with a few clients who have domestic assault convictions in their past (though that's hardly conclusive that they'd really been "woman beaters" in the classic sense).

Personally...one shitty alcoholic my cousin married.  My fondest memory of him is when we hosted a family reunion at our house when I was a kid, and he discreetly (at least in his own mind) made a few trips of filling his pockets with beer from the cooler and moseying over to deposit them in his car for later. :D

Oh and the boyfriend of one of my little sister's friends.

Prompted by the black and blue pic.

There's one guy who shows up from time to time at my karaoke hang who is strongly believed to have lit up one girlfriend.
My adoptive uncle apparently pushed one his girlfriend in a door frame, after one of her many jealousy crisis.  And he apparently slapped his daughter too, wich sent him back in jail.  Well, I think he spent 15 years in&out of jail.  Before that, it was only for drunken disorder.

Never considered him a wife beater or woman abuser of any kind though.

But at least he didn't smoke.

He might have given her cancer instead of just hitting her!

You know, I don't think he did. :D  Even though everyone else did, and holidays were held in a fog of cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoke that those little smoke-eaters strained to deal with.  Matching ashtrays with each place setting in the nice china, that's something you don't find much anymore.

Probably.  This smoking, drinking, loan sharking, beer stealing bastard is truly an appalling specimen of humanity.

Smoking is pretty low rent. Like yeah, I know I'm giving myself future cancer but fuck off!

A few payday loans, but nothing serious.

EDIT:  Actually, the epilogue is that they had a son who has severe behavioral-developmental problems (not autism I don't think, more like ultra-ADHD), got divorced, and then I guess he's pulled it together since, and has played a decent role in his son's life thus far. :)

No one has ever out-and-out admitted it, but it's been strongly implied my father-in-law was physically abusive with my mother-in-law.

A former boss of mine had heavy rumours that her husband would hit her.

I can say with some confidence that most likely everyone on this forum knows at least one person who is physically abusive with their partner.  It's such a wide-spread offence.  It's just never discussed.
