Cut you nails

In my country only the female have the long nails. And sometime maybe if the guy play the classical guitar. Today I spar at 10th planet with no Gi-top, to prove a point for eddie bravo. Now I have a scratch all over my arms and feet. If I have the Gi,I don't care. But if you gonna train no-Gi,be a man,cut you nails.

I can agree with that. I've been jabbed in the eye by a finger nail before. Cut your claws of attack before someone goes blind.

I used to train at a school where one guy had toe nails that looked strips of tree bark extending past the tips of his toes. I suggested that he go to Home Depot to get them trimmed. He stopped talking to me after that.

I can agree with you on that Renato. Finally something.

i totally agree with this mexican guy. muy bano, renato. muy bano.

I instantly burst into laughter just seeing his avatar picture.

This one dude had nasty long yellow toe nails. After he cut up my ankles with his talons the shit started burning. AIDS sucks.

I agree there is nothing worse than having someone's nasty toe nail scratch you while rolling! Man up and take the less than 5 minutes to cut you finger & toe nails! It's just good hygiene!

hahahaha its true. but i cant help but hear his accent when i read his posts and i love it. Renato man, I dont do Gi, but if i ever visited your school, i would play around with the Gi just for one day ;)

Any jiu-jitsu practitioner, any REAL jiu-jitsu practitioner will tell you, it doesn't matter if it's a choke hold or a nail scrape...a win is a win.

Renato is on point with this, long nails is a problem at hq :)

I am not sure if you are aware but I heard Koral is making something to combat this problem in the grappling world. Toe and finger nail scrapes are a real problem. I don't have the actual photos yet but my contact at Koral calls them "gis for the hands and feet".

This is what they are going to look like:

Sockoplata FTW.

gi for hand/feet LOL but at my gym we dont have a issue with it, mainly because all the instructors most likely carry clippers with them....but I personally keep my nails as short as possible from two years of violin. can't play with nails :(

I'm with Renato 100 percent on this one. So many people are just inconsiderate and don't care for their training partners.

So Jon should I cut these before Saturday? :O

Tapping to scratches is a bitches way out.

while were on the subject if somebody does happen to scratch you with there claws consider covering your bobo with medical tape for class because seeing a band aid on the matt or stuck to your shorts is pretty nasty too and the tape is less likely to come off.

Holy shit Dave damn.

It's a personal hygiene problem!!
Keep yourself clean and groomed now that Mama isn't doing it for you any more!!
Gross

Nails suck. We added a personal hygiene addendum to our waiver and the driving force was friggin' nails!

Always carry grooming kit in my bag, so I can lend nail clippers to whoever needs them *before* class.

Instructor has a couple of pairs floating around as well. Not to do so is just downright disrespectful of your training partners...

First thing I think I have ever agreed with that Renato has said. Must be this new Forum. Maybe Renato is really a robot and his backups were screwed up along with the 10thPJJ Forum...

Hate to admit it but Renato's on point with this one
