the idea would be that after a few weeks I point out to them that if they're already doing the "hard stuff" with no problems, they might as well do the fun stuff too, and all the sudden our regular judo class will have new members.

Yeah, we were thinking along the same lines, but had our doubts as to whether much real interest would be there to join a "regular" Judo class. I'd say if you have people who want to do it, give it a try, however, with our difficulties in escaping the bedroom I can't see how you will have time. If you do, you should train more rather than teach (IMO).

Oh come on, "Mike", at his age a cold shower won't even slow him down. Surely you remember?

Ben, cold water has always had a very distinctive affect on certain parts of my body. I detest cold water not for that reason alone, I just hate being that cold. I have jumped into a swimming pool in Denmark where they not only not heat the water but chill it. I lasted .0001 second them was able to change using the ladies changing room! Never again.

I take a cold shower every day after training. I start hot, then go to as cold as I can stand, then back to hot, then back to cold once more. it does wonders for muscle aches. if I had a few beers the night before, I'll take a cold shower in the morning to wake myself up a bit. the cold doesn't bother me. my wife thinks I'm insane though.
