When I wash my Gi, I put a lotta soap - because I have respect for myself. A lotta guys come to train and the rashguard smell like Bacalhau. I don't know why they don't wanna wash. Even if I don't wash my Gi for ONE day,at least I'm gonna put some cologne on my lapel. C'mon Guys.

Hey Laranja,
I was sure it was the Brazilians that invented and promoted the "don't wash the gi" idea...I have heard tale of instructors actually recommending to keep your Gi in a plastic bag in the car for at least a week before any competitions! Is this true? Have you ever done this? Would you do this AND add the cologne? Is this something you would advise for comps? Just want your thoughts.

it also sucks rolling with someone that has way to much colonge or body loition on.

" Clean Body, Clean Mind , Clean Jiu jitsu " Renato say " you wash you clothes "

I come for jiu jits. Brasil Jiu Jits.

I live with the Gi, thats it, dis guy, he do de hip hop, In Favella I do de hip hop. with the Gi,
Mais Marajuna, and de microphone.
