Narrative:
Private pilot initial training flight commenced as normal with touch-and-go operations at the ZZZ airport. Returning to home base; ZZZ1; the flight was cleared to land runway xx with a direct headwind. The descent began 2.5 miles from the runway threshold at 1;000 ft with power reduced and flaps set. The glide path PAPI indicators displayed a normal descent at 65 knots (landing speed for the C-172). The landing occurred within the first third of the runway just before taxiway on the runway surface. Afterwards; a rollout was initiated and flaps removed. Thereafter; the nose gear began to shimmy and immediately the student pulled back on the control yoke initiating a climb. The instructor pilot pushed the nose down to avoid a stalled condition after hearing the audible stall warning indication. This led to a bounced landing and then a gradual pull back on the yoke to settle the main tires on the runway surface. This was accomplished before the halfway point of runway xx. However; the aircraft's ground speed was still quite high and brakes were applied- but to no effect. Aerodynamic braking was then applied and the nose gear shimmied again; violently. Back pressure was then applied to remove the shimmy. The brakes were then forcibly pumped to create hydraulic pressure and to some 'limited' effect they worked; however; it did not keep the aircraft from coming to a complete stop 5 feet off the end of runway xx surface on the grassy end before the marsh. ATIS (automatic terminal information service) information winds 060 degrees at 6 knots; weather better than 5;000 feet and 5 SM visibility; temperature 17 celsius; dew-point 12 celsius and altimeter setting 30.04 in hg. No injuries were reported nor observed and no damage to the aircraft except a minor wear in tread depth in the right tire (bald spot) was observed and promptly rectified.
