I remember one of my best conditioning coaches in High School always had two remedies for injury or fatigue. Ice and Dirt. lol "Coach I got a cut and it went straight to the bone"..."get some dirt on that, you'll be fine." "Coach I'm pretty sure I broke my neck on that last exercise, I can't feel my legs." "Get some ice on that, when you can move, get some dirt on it, you'll be fine."
Sounds stupid, but it produced some tough, gritty players. Half of the problems I see in this Forum routinely can be worked through by sheer toughness alone.

I totally understand the "Bitches" concept. I teach our conditioning program and boxing/kickboxing program. I don't know how many times I get these "Im in shape because I run 2 hrs a day on the treadmill" ***s who think that they'll easily transition into real kickboxing or boxing. They come in with these attitudes and when we do simple 3-5 minute rounds with half of that time being all out bursts, they become a bunch of whiny pussies. The guy who runs 10 miles may be in cardio shape, but you're not in fighting shape. It's all a different oxygen consumption. They bitch and cry and you don't see them anymore until, like you say, it's either spring break or summertime. But I like summertime because then we get the thong wearing ho's who come in and being an instructor has it's fringe benefits when training these finely tuned women.
I ask my instructor all the time if we can have an ass kicking session worked into the school programs. This would be for all the "attitudes" we get. We'll get old school on their asses and go into the old ways of training and then they'd all end up in the emergency room.
Any suggestions for a lesson plan on an ass kicking session will be gladly appreciated!
If I can get my 10 year olds jiu jitsu students to do the scarecrow on each other for an hour without crying, I can surely kick a few adults asses through conditioning.
