Do you get off on talking about things you have no experience with? Serious question.

@Diode wanna go in on an antibacterial gi to sell to amen and his types

Any gi color or brand you recommend? How does that work?

Depends on where you're training. Gracie Barras and other franchise/cult-ish schools require you to buy their gis and only their approved colors. Make sure what the situation is before you buy anything.

Plain white is recommended for a beginner. While I'll limit the punishment to a single KOB for a stupid-flashy $$$ Shoyoroll or CTRL on a fresh white belt, some other schools might make you run the gauntlet because they're insecure about the scraps of cloth on your body. I'd avoid training at schools like that unless the instruction is world class. Wear what makes you feel good.

Most of my Gis have come from BJJHQ sales or rolling deals. If you're looking for solid entry level (<$100) gear, you can't go wrong with the basic Fuji, Tatami, Sanabul, or the recently popular Tesla brand stuff. I personally wear Inverted Gear, Do or Die, and 93 Brand stuff but that's because their lightweight gis are super-light and it's hot and humid as a motherfucker down here (plus it means I don't have to cut as much weight since most Gi comps weigh you in with the gi on).

If you don't feel like waiting for a BJJHQ deal, Rollmore is their regular site. Prices will be higher but it's a full selection rather than one deal a day and they do allow returns if you're unhappy with the product.

Incredibly helpful. Reps to you. Do you wash them? Dry clean? Regular washer and dryer?

Clearly said Friends of mine. And also said I’d like to think of something like that.

Few pals are BJJ heads who have done it their whole life along with wrestle. When topics of training come up, these are the things discussed, staff infections due to dirty mats which I’m sure all GYMs have at one point or another.

Stfu, continue thinking you know anything about what’s being discussed.

Fuck you faggot

Finally sum excitement

geez

Lil Nicky how yo day been?

My gi is fire and I'm only a purple belt. I like nogi better tho that's why I didn't pursue my Brown belt. But I'm black belt quality at nogi, fell in love with it, but having the basics down from the gi helps a lot before starting nogi, atleast get a close to a blue belt before going nogi

How did it go. Bruh

Would love to study mui thai and bjj tbh. Love both styles. Specially mui thai. Always been my fav

Wash as soon as you can then hang dry. Dryers are bad. Too much heat.

*** THIS INCLUDES YOUR BELT ***

Absolutely do not dry clean unless you're a billionaire and feel like throwing money away.

Wrestlers are dirty because they're in high school and college, both of which are filthy places of public education and not a business with liabilities.

Staph infections are far more likely from not washing your shit.

Let me pause here and lol at you having multiple friends who have been training BJJ for their whole lives. The odds of that are on par with the odds of Lip Lipperson winning Sexiest Man of the Year.

Like to think and have experience with are two different things.

ALSO STAPH GODDAMNIT YOU FUCKING INGRATE

good thread.

Don't let facts and probability ruin a good Amen story.

Lol you're the "professional" not I. Hence why I don't train in BJJ. And never will lol... Not for me. As far as the liabilities, thats why most are "LLC" LOL.

LIKE I SAID; That's like the GYM expecting everyone to wipe down equipment - and I'm sure the GYMs have the "same liabilities" a MMA gym would have. Your relying on human competence and lets be real, majority are lazy...

they don't have even remotely the same liabilities dude.

it is a requirement of any decent bjj school to clean the mats daily if not after every class. the only place they don't do that shit is brazil, but being dirt poor has a lot to do with that.

Lmao repped
