Sauna
Back when I used to do judo in Japan, the dojo in the summer would turn into a literal sauna from all the guys'sweat and body heat. It was so suffocating that the struggle to breathe completely overrode any muscle fatigue. There were these tiny vents at floor level, and even though the breeze coming through was just hot summer air, it felt relatively cool inside that sweatbox. Whenever we did sparring or groundwork, I’d always stake out a spot right by one of those vents just to keep myself alive. But the instructors would bark at us, "Only cowards train in the corners! Stop running away from your weakness and get in the center of the mat where you belong!"So we’d reluctantly move to the middle, but man, it was just too hard to breathe. Before we knew it, our survival instincts would kick in and we'd find ourselves subconsciously inching back toward the vents mid-practice, face planted near the opening, just gasping for air. It was pure torture at the time, but looking back through rose-tinted glasses, it’s actually a pretty fond memory now lol.

"it felt relatively cool inside that sweatbox" sounds like the whole dojo is relatively cool, which is contradictory. This wording makes it more clear you mean the vent air.

Lol, omg a free sauna trip every time?? Over here it's somewhat common to jump in a sauna after working out... I tried it once, but I didn't really see the appeal.
