I always wear rash guards and spats with my gi. Aside from it feeling weird with out, I like a good sweat and feeling hot after a while. Makes the rolls that much more fun. Plus, it's more hygienic with not having sweat just dripping off onto people or on me.

IBJJF tournaments are about the only thing I can think of where you can't wear a rashguard under your gi.

And who does gi tournaments anymore? :v:

You can't even wear shorts past your knee for IBJJF apparently. A teammate found that out the wrong way.

Add Grappling Games to that list.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
Having a completely soaked cotton t-shirt suction itself to your face and mouth in no gi is a bit better than a bare chest but it is still pretty gross.

I wear a rashguard out of courtesy under my gi. I'm hairy to the point of ridicule and I don't think anyone wants to buried in that poo poo when I'm mounted on them.

Yes. I am still around in the morning. John is in California this week and so Doug is teaching no gi. Renzo may be teaching Zeds gi class on Thursday morning.

Here in Korea you get looks for not wearing a rashguard and spats.

Also anyone got tips for covering blisters in athletic tape? It always comes off and just makes my blisters on my fingers worse as a result of the pulling and tearing.

Use roll gauze or nonadhesive padding tape under the bandage tape.

So that Japanese Olympic judo gold medalist and convicted rapist who had a Persona 5 boss based on him competed in a Jiu Jitsu tournament this weekend...as a blue belt. He won. :toot:

I gotta say if I went to a grappling tournament and my opponent in the blue belt division was an Olympic gold medal-winning judoka (also a rapist) I wouldn't be too happy.

cool story, we were rolling at the end of a session, and me and this more advanced white belt were having a particularly competitive roll and we had an unspoken agreement to just carry on. the rest of the class was watching us flail and everyone's offering advice. class + ~10 minutes has gone past and i'm absolutely loving wrecked and my opponent gets me in a sort of armbar that i probably could have got out of and i tapped out of sheer exhaustion but hoping to save face. head coach: *cough* bullshit. i'll never tap to exhaustion again. humiliating.

thanks for reading my story of being bitch made

I dunno, I think it's perfectly legitimate to tap once completely drained and incapable of defending further, especially against big strong dudes that know how to bring the weight on you. You know you've got to work on cardio. I don't know if there's a point in refusing to acknowledge that fact.

you can work on cardio by continuing to work when completely drained. the best advice I've ever been given is "you're not that tired"

Agreed. I try to be very injury-conscious, and my rule is that I stop when I feel like I have one roll left in me. Most of my preventable injuries have happened during that "ok one more roll" roll.

Tapping means, "Great work you would have killed/incapacitated/restrained me had this been a real situation, I cant continue please stop." So tap when you feel like it.

I feel like telling people it's ok to quit as soon as they feel uncomfortable or tired in the brutal grappling arts is not good advice, but I am also frequently injured

It's just a hobby. If you're training for a competition or need better cardio there are better and safer ways to make gains than rolling while you're already exhausted.

Once I'm gassed on the fourth or fifth roll and someone with 50lbs + gets me in side control and squashes unless I have good frames thats a tap. At a certain point my fitness level fails me and it's not productive for me to lie there and get crushed. I'm also a beginner and an old man who needs an uninjured body for work so I err on the side of safety.

Some people have trouble disassociating a hobby from the rest of their life, or don't understand why others may do so, unfortunately.

There was a karate black belt in his 50s who started judo the same day as me and ended up lasting only 3-4 months. Really liked him and I think I went too hard a few times, specially with newaza. Hopefully I didn't contribute to him quitting. Sorry Emmanuel :-(

Theres a good friend of mine I used to work with that's a good 15 years older than I am and quit smoking around the same time he started BJJ a few months ago. He's wrecked from a few injuries he's acquired over the years, popped ribs and stuff so he get to his peak much faster than me. At this point it's understandable but I think he's getting some more grit every time he leaves the door.
