i cold wash slow cycle immediately when i get home... then hang from a line with a coathanger inside of it!
NEVER wash your belt!
lol i know dude >.> but ill just dry it on a noheat cycle
i hang it on the back window of my car to dry off the sweat.. then il wash it at the end of the week, but make sure i hang dry it. unless my dad gets to it first.. ><
i think putting it in the dryer isn't the best move
Man I would love to get more than one session out of a gi, but when it's wet like it's been underwater with sweat, it just doesn't seem right to me to dry it out and wear it for another couple sessions. No one wants to be that guy that every thinks stinks but doesn't tell him do they?
Maybe in colder places it's not so bad, but I am yet to finish a sessions and think 'yeah I could probably get another roll out of that' Maybe I also sweat like a pig
haha ya man i live in arizona and i dont know if you know this but where i live is known to go up to 130 degrees!!
my town is also the driest in the country
so im just gonna have to wear it kinda damp
Forget the old tradition of no belt washing, its stupid and dirty. They say proper jiujitsu practitioners get their black belt by having their white belt turn black from spending years on the mat. It is a great saying and means alot but in real life, wash that belt. Why would you want to wrap your clean Gi with something that stinks and has all kinds of fungus and bacteria on it?
exactly i agree
and than you can get staph and shit on it
and use your hands and than touch your mouth
and walla!!!!! insta organ failure
dsmma gi get on them super strong but not as thick drys in no time after a wash i have 2 gis going 3 now and it is far the best one i have and make your self a gi hanger
sorry what?
a gi hanger a home made piece of equipment for hanging up your gi on the line to maximise its drying time
I wash mine after each use. I don't use it every day though. I'll put my gi in the dryer if I need to and I don't see any problems.
(It's a Keiko Raca) if that helps.
I have 2 if i get in a very wet sesh i will wash right away. if not then wash once a week. i wear gold weave gi's. one fuji one subculture. I only train gi like 3-4 days a week. rest is nogi.
Wash your Gi after every practice you selfish, dirty bastids!
yes you need to wash it after every use
buy another gi
Sounds like u could use a preshrunk gi. Then u can toss it in the dryer without worrying about shrinkage. Vulkan is one such gi.

Havent trained in the GI in 3 years, but hell yeah wash it after every practice! And jump in the shower yourself after every practice! No one likes staph or ringworm.
this is a question best suited for a 27 soon to be 28 mundial world champion

I'm too superstitious to wash my belt. I know its hogwash but I refuse to do it. And I've never had an issue ringworm or staph.
im a very big germaphobe
and ya your probably right but i have really long arms, and i dont wanna dry it anymore at all and have it go up to my forearms
It'll just be harder for people to grab your sleeves!
lol
