NEVER wash your belt!

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

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?

[Corky]

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
