I currently am missing out on any training with a partner because no ac at the dojo and everyone had been bailing on class. I would never bail on Jiu Jitsu so I work on technique with my dog and home drills with a boxing bag with belt tied on. I am about to start visiting friends gyms that have ac & other gyms offering the 1 free class just to keep on track.
Keeping the ac on is a must! After all, we aren't in Rio anymore.
one of the gyms i go to has AC, but the other one doesnt....and WOW does that suck donkey dong.
i break a sweat walking ON the mats. Heat in the MW is nothing compared to 100degrees and 100% humidity...EEEEVIL
Yeah this week is 110degree heat index. about 97 without it.
weve been doing alot of our playground workouts and sparring outside , its near impossible to grapple when you are already drenched before stretching is even over with ...
The humidity kicks up at night when I'm at work outside. it sucks.
When the AC breaks at the gym I train only the truly dedicated show up. There are about 10 of us that are there no matter what. When it snows the guys with trucks call around and pick up the other guys on the way to class. Dedicated guys that will roll no matter what are priceless. Keep hydrated!
Oh and I work tech with my dog also. I hold treats in my hands and work Brazilian leg drills. 75 lb pitbull that knows how to pummel. The bastard learns quick. He even pins other dogs down using their collar. He makes me so proud! I should get this on youtube. What do you do with your dog? What kind of dog do you have?
It's been Florida hot in the Midwest. I left this heat 5 years ago, wtf.
Rolling with a dog, weird. lmao. I have a Lab Sheperd mix about 60-70lbs. I usually just work guard sweeps armbars triangles guillotines mount side control. the dog has different body structure so not everything works right. I have had him yelp more then once. luckily nothing that lasted over 5 minutes of favoring. I even got greedy and tried to get him to pass-out from a triangle but no luck. I really dont want to hurt him so I wont try that again.
I have also thought about youtube the stuff would be funny. maybe in the next couple weeks when I get a new camera.
That sucks about the training partners. The fight team minus the Elite FS guys conditioned tonight. 3 rounds of crossfit, 3 rounds of abs, inside in the AC and finished up 3 rounds of flipping tires, sledge hammers on tires and the rower outside......fucking brutal. We have AC but we try not to put it on. We like the Thailand feel while training. But it has been way to hot. My half red nose pit /Half Amercian Bulldog was 70 pounds of muscle before she passed away. She was a killer running partner and would grapple with me for an hour straight before she was crash out.
Yeah, this is some bullshit. I have my little gym in my garage and it sucks when I can't even work for an hour straight without feeling like Im gonna die.
I'm sure most of the guys from the Midwest and the North will disagree with me but I would chose colder then hot. I spent 25 years in South Florida and moving up here was a nice change. I feel like you can always put on more to warm up. I know that shoveling and salting the driveway for a few months a year sucks but it beats dying in heat like this. I've been out of the Florida heat for almost 6 years, this crap is nasty.
But given the opportunity I would move back in a heartbeat.
Your nuts! I lived in Florida for 4 years! loved it! Currently living near Syracuse, NY= capital of Lake Effect Snow. Florida= 3 and half miserable months of bad weather. To NY's 7 months of bad weather a year! By the way were going to hit 101 degrees today!Quote:

Yeah, my loft is a like a heater right now. I can't play jiujitsu with my kids and gym numbers have been low even though we have an AC. I think people just get sluggish from the heat and stay home.
I been hidin' in the freezer at work 4 the past week now SMH, I walked outside and almost bursted into flames LoL
Loft is also my bedroom and My ac broke. I can't even sleep in their, now my back hurts from the couch. :( Trying to fix the AC at the gym right now. Hope this works.
Your weather may suck right now, but at least you have a sweet song...

Cry Babies is all I hear. I'm just joking though. I'm in Minnesota and we had the highest humidity in the world.I think we hit 115 deg.Ive been going to class for about 7 months and we had the air on 1 time, and that's only because I went to a night class. They never have it on in the am class.
