Eating clean also impacts your body odor significantly.

GodLessU Hmm i sweat sooo much its ridiculous... mu muscles are always burning my waters too fast. !!!

+ultimAvalon I have that problem too it doesn't help that I always feel hot af in my gi...I hate the gi

I'm a nutritionist from Europe. Your body smelling bad is not a condition or hygiene. Body smells are caused by imbalances in your body's bacteria and fungi. It is the *FOOD YOU EAT* and the bacteria in your body that are causing the smell. Here's how to cure your bad hygiene: 1. I'm willing to bet that you, from time to time, eat processed meat, red meat, wheat or dairy. What happens when these foods reach the intestines is they ferment, and feed growing colonies of millions of bacteria in your gut. Your body becomes acidic and you develop leaky gut. Your bodys natural and healthy bacteria are then wiped out, and the bad bacteria that feed on lactose and junk food flourish. I used to think my diet was okay, before I understood what these foods do to the body. I eat nothing but fresh vegetables and fruits now (I'd eat some chicken but never red meats, if I wasn't a vegetarian) and I have virtually no body smells. My waste even smells nothing, because it's not crawling with unhealthy bacterial colonies. *Change your diet.* 2. You may also have had penicillin or antibiotics at some point. These treatements kill the healthy bacteria in your gut, so the bad bacteria can flourish. I bet that your gut looks infested, and is a constant battlefield for your immune system, trying to fight off the bad germs. Eat pro-biotic foods, and eat less acidic food. This will slowly, over time, cure your body stink. I promise. You're welcome.

+The Forms Thanks for your comments and you have been helpful. I´ll give all your advice a try.

what gi do you use?

mstrshkbrnnn1999 I'm a bigger guy (6'4, 230lbs) and I use Judo Star instead of a BJJ gi, because they just fit better. Though they aren't the exact same as BJJ gis.

+The Abominable Snowman sweet

Rashguards and spats are hung dry for me as drying will take life out of those fabrics.

Jiujitsu tends to attract some dumb people.

You can wash it,just don't dry it in the sun!haha

'l

+Zyenaux lol suuurrrreee

Jesse Rai a

I saw that too and thought "gaaah not the belt!"

+Vickmeister17 Well it shouldn't be that bad, as long as you do it with cold water and long enough to make sure the sweat and all of that funk is gone, I don't think handwash is bad. Besides, back when BJJ was created in like the earlier 20th century, washing machines like this didn't even exist in poorer places like Brazil, Carlos Gracie and the others proabably did it with handwash.

Actually combining the two releases CO2 gas which clean and deodorize much greater than 1 alone.

Travis Williams yeah but dont use like The hottest option cause ir will shrink

Always best to hang dry if you can. Prevents shrinking and it’s hard on fabrics to dry with heat.

Renzo Gracie State College / CPAMMA Custom Gi

Jondcountry yes let it get some sun if you dry it if you have patches then it will sink

Hang drying is fine! It lengthens the life of the gi and avoids the gi shrinking.

it's an old brown belt

+Fred Bill He wear a grey belt. Better than black belt? lol

+NetRep Some schools have started to use Grey belts as adult belts between White and Blue, to give people the feel good. I think grey belts are also used as a child's belt at some shcools.

It's a faded brown belt moron... Something you will never achieve but keep acting like a know it all.

TOP10 yo dude, calm down. I dont know why you feel the need to talk to me like that.

No, it's not OCD. Infections spread quickly in gyms, especially when you're rolling around in close contact. It's not like wearing a pair of jeans twice.

I finish see your video, you waste a lot of detergent, vinegar and soda, that really make me sad

So he should wash 2 gis each load?

I do, and I don't use all those things he uses, I wash them like regular clothes and they don't smell.

Hahaha so true

Good thing that is a Brown Belt Ryan was wearing at the time.

Oh yes good thing, that's the lightest brown belt I've ever seen.

Opinions should be kept to yourself unless they're good ones. This video was put up to help people. Don't be that guy. If your concerned with the color of another mans Gi, id hate to see how you deal with real concerns.... EGO EGO EGO. Settle down #keyboardworrior

I didn't get a black GI when I started because as a white belt, I didn't think I deserved one.

Never seen any of the top bjj professors wearing other than white gi. Besides, gi color means nothing. only belt colors do. So I'm not sure what everybody here is talking about. I think, deep down, everybody wants to look like a ninja :)

+Zion Delgado You want your belt to get a lot of germs and fungi and grow, and spread it to other people?

+NetRep your not suppose to wash your belt period..

What's the reason to not wash your belt? Your belt do get germs and sweats from rolling too like your gis.

Do you even train jiu jitsu?

Zion Delgado Yes, I do. The "Gracie" instruction on the gis they sent me said "Don't wash the belt", but there's no good reason to not wash them. Belt do get sweats, germs and fungis that can grow and give to your partner.
