What a night on the mats at 10th Planet Melbourne. 43C, or ~110F. We still had a mat full of beasts, smashed out F series in under 15 minutes, followed by tech of the night, sparring AND conditioning (comp in 2.5 weeks).
I almost envy you guys in the polar vortex... Almost!
115, West Texas heat in mid July early August. Everyday. :)
Please complain about your awesome sauna temps while we freeze up here in Canadia... :P In all honesty, I don't know what the temperature was, but this past summer, we visited a club in Toronto for a bjj community super seminar event. There were a tonne of people learning and repping out techniques in a gym with two individual window ACs and no open doors or windows. We absolutely baked over the 4 hours we were there, had dripping gis and were literally sweating the entire ride home from overheating at the gym(sorry if the visuals are too graphic and gross).
Texas is brutal. Especially down here in the swamps where the humidity is so high. Most of the time above 80%. Folks from Vegas and Phoenix come here and can't handle it. Above 70 something percent humidity, your sweat doesn't evapirate.. Which means it doesn't cool you, like it does in low humidity, ie southwest areas and desert areas like Phoenix and Vegas.... Lol. Now, I trained in Vegas one summer and my lips were so dry and cracked by the time I gave in and used some girly lip balm they were already ruined. The extreme low humidity has its negatives as well.
LOL, might have trained in 90F once!!
108F in the Edinboro wrestling room!
Not sure exactly, somewhere around 105 ish I'm sure. Our old building was metal and had no a/c. Oh, also..in south Alabama there is this thing called humidity that makes the heat and the cold worse. :-/
It was weird for me the first time I ever worked out/trained in LA. After training in the high desert and not sweating a huge amount because of the dry climate, going to a humid climate and just pouring gallons out of every pore I was like, "WTF is wrong with me?" lol
104-108ish why training with the fighters at Miletich Fighting Systems in Iowa. Pat used to turn the heat on if it was less than 90 degrees.
i trained with melbourne monsters in 40 ish degrees celsius a couple times and it was intense.
In nz though we made our gym into a massive sauna aand then increased the gravity to 50 times normal so we can reach super saiyan. just saying.
Prolly about 100-108 with outrageous humidity hey who dont love the slip and slide mats after one of them practices lol
129 degree in Iraq in 2009.
ding,ding,ding, WINNER!!Quote:

The hottest I ever was was in Kuwait it was 139 degrees in August when we landed. Unreal heat. Made me happy to work nights. :)
One of my wrestling coaches kept the heater cranked all the way up all day long in the summer. It stayed around 120 in the wrestling room.
120 deg in iraq, but I wasn't training jiu jitsu... I was doing a corporals (leadership course) course for the marines
Semper Fidelis, I did Sergeants Course in Afghanistan in the winter. Super weak.Quote:

For the first time ever (well in the 3.5 years I have been training) BJJ has been cancelled tonight due to a combination of the heat (Melbourne is in the middle of a fairly decent heatwave) and the grass fires around our town. The building we train in has no air conditioning, no cooling, no fans and a nice tin roof.
