I can’t believe that you have to tell people this stuff, but every once in a while I guess it still has to be said. Wash that gi! No one wants to roll with someone who smells like cat piss and whose gi is chuck full of bacteria!
For the consideration of your roll partners, wash the gi! If you roll once, you might be able to immediately throw it out in the sun and get another roll out of it. But, if the thing is soaked and you tie it up in a ball and throw it in your car overnight to ferment, don’t use it until you wash it again.
If being considerate of others is beyond your grasp, then think about this. You sweat uric acid and urea acid. This will break down the material of your gi, if you don’t wash it often! So, washing your gi will save you money in the long run! This way you can save your money for some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Private Lessons at RocknRoll Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness!
