How does your School Smell

[KenpoTess]

Do students and guests come in with that look on their face.. holding their noses?

What are some tips you can offer to keep the stinky sweaty smell down in closed quarters.

 

[Cruentus]

It should smell like people working out, in my opinion.

However, it shouldn't reek. The best advise I can give is keep the air circulating. Schools smell bad when the air is stagnate. So utilize fans, open windows, or air conditioning.

 

[TLH3rdDan]

if you have carpet you might want to clean it with a good carpet shampooer once a month or so...

 

[D_Brady]

Like it or not that smell everyone is talking about is bacteria and everyone that walks in your school knows it. If you act like you don't care your telling them something about your self.Know that being said if your working out hard people can smell it and they shouldn't be surprised by it.

I try to keep the smell down to a minnimum by all students wearing shoes and as some of you already said , keep carpets clean and vent the place as best you can.

And on a personal note ... For me NO mexican food before class.

Well Steve just put down some mats from wall to wall. Right now they still smell new. Before that somewhat sweaty.

Ours gets to smelling like a moose.

Luckily our instructor keeps the fans going and sprays the air freshner...

hmmm.

do you know what a moose smells like, how a lonely farm boy knows what a sheep smells like?

second thought, maybe i dont want to know. :nuke:

Lemme tell ya hon, its like the saying "once you go moose..." er... is that "once you go animal, you never..." no... er...

But I imagine that 12 sweaty guys in an enclosed basement must smell vaguely mooselike.

It smells like kuchi, especially on hot summer days or eves when the doors are closed and the class is full. :erg:

Normally it's not too bad as long as the doors remain open to help ventilate out the dojang.

 

[Seig]

Ventilation doesn't seem to help, nor do fans or the AC. Cleaning the carpets helped, for about a week. But it usually smells like a gym in there.

when we don't keep up with the cleaning and spraying, the dojo smells like dead feet!

Jason,

For some reason they don't like it when I wear my cheap Wally World tennis shoes............


What brand of wrestling shoes have longevity for carpeted dojo use??

Do they have any arch and insole support for the geriatrics like me & TessMania? :rofl:


I kinda like the idea of joss sticks, or incense pots personally

I bet not. You probably tear up the carpet.:rofl:

Asics makes probaby the best shoes. I prefer wrestling shoes because they last soooooo much longer than century or the other brand basic martial art shoe. I just purchased a new pair a month ago. Man are they great. Too bad they didn't have them when I was in school and on the mat because they are the most comfortable shoe I have worn.

No :rofl: .

Marketing Mr. C, it's all about marketing!
Hey, I've got it, why not just be a Mc Dojo? Everyone else does it... :barf:

Anyway, the next time I'm in South Texas, I'd like to drop by your dojo for one of your Kenpo classes and engage in a good, hard work out. Hey, what the fword, what do I care I'm TKD, I don't know any Karate. I'm just curious about all MAs, just throw me in with the white belts I don't care. :asian:

Are you game for having a WTF TKD practitioner train with yall Karate Texans?
