Press ups as a punishment!

[ps1]

Should an adult do that, there is no point in having him in the class anyway.

I agree. I've never had adults who act like that. But such negativity should be culled out.

When I trained guys for San Shou, we used push ups in the following manner. We would skip rounds to build cardio and fitness. Some fighters who were lazy would, trip over the rope, stop, and then start skipping again. They would use it as a break from the conditioning at hand. Each time you stopped during a round, you would owe 10 pushups during the rest between rounds. It was used to teach people to press forward. That it is better to push at the task at hand, with all your effort. The plus was that it did build very fit fighters. When I was still fighting actively, and I trained along side my fighters as well, I would be subject to the same rules, and on bad days did my fair share.

we only do press up when we excercise but for a punishment never and when kids do something bad they go to the corner and in my class im the only adult the rest are kids LOL

In our class, if one person has to do pushups, everyone has to. We don't get angry, we get stronger.
