Is your school air conditioned?

It's too hard to keep cool with one a/c unit with people moving in and out, doors opening and closing, people getting hot and sweating. etc. etc. etc.

Well, I'm lucky, since no one will train with me, I have the room all to myself.

We do have two air conditioners but when there off untill class starts they just start to work and they get shut off. I think its onbly for the front office. Who needs a/c anyway some of the people I see in martial arts could loose a few pounds anyway.

Train twice as hard today, because you may not be able to tommorrow. :asian:

Air Conditioning ? What the heck is that ? Jeez, What's next buy your Karate uniform from Victoria Secret Fall Catalog ?

Sweat is good you know..Its your body's way of saying Dude ! You're really working out....

It's something to watch the Thai boxers training in Thailand, outdoors, in that heat!

Don't need air condition in your school.

Just move to a cooler country.

Dont like AC, gives me the chills during cool downs.

I've been in some that have AC some that don't.
My grandmaster is fond of shutting the AC off during the summer, saying [korean accent] "You no have AC on street"[/korean accent]
I lean towards the opinion that most people train "in the elements" because of a macho/ego thing. Most of the rest out of a misguided belief that working out in the cold/heat will make them a better fighter.
Every fight I've ever been in has ended in under 2 minutes...in my opinion that is hardly enough time for the elements to come into play (unless of course you are brawling in a hurricane or blizzard).
In my opinion it is best that the temperature be left at a comfortable level, so that students can concentrate on performing their movements correctly, rather than lamenting over how they're burning up/ freezing their cojones off.

We have huge, open windows in my dojo.

My JKD/BJJ instructor just changed to a new building and is still figuring out the AC/heating system!
