Agreed its a nightmare if that starts going around a gym, if the dude has that big of a patch he needs to be gone for a while and learn some hygiene

That poo poo can spread really quick and become resistant to otc meds. Don't gently caress around with leaving dumb notes.

The guest instructor last week had some sort of rash on his leg and I didn't want to be like uhhhh is that ringworm? and I've been paranoid as gently caress ever since

I already brought it up with the instructor concerning another issue he had with hygiene in the past only it seems like it didn't do poo poo considering the current state of the kid's crotch. It goes without saying that I was already planning on going to see the instructor again.

as the kid rubbed his diseased necrotic flesh all over my face and body, I knew that I had to draft up blueprints for the intricate rube goldberg device that would deliver to him a map leading to a key leading to a treasure chest containing a hastily scrawled note reading 'p-p-please consider h-hygene'

I'd avoid rolling with scab crotch dudes, thugs, guys that toe hold your toes, dudes with misshapen crotches that can't wear cups and dudes that write passive aggressive notes to me. I think that covers most bases for this thread.

In our gym, we have no issue with kicking guys off the mat for having skin infections or having unwashed gis and the instructors absolutely have our backs on this. Nothing worse than the guy who thinks that he can just tape up a massive lesion.

I'm talking about the post I did concerning the Mike/danaher thing that happened. Not looking to make a Big deal about that but it got to be annoying. On the ringworm issue, Believe me, there's nothing id rather have happen than seeing the guy out and treated but I can't do more than go back to the instructor AGAIN. I'm already frustrated about the fact I brought it up to the instructor in the past and the guy didn't do poo poo to clean up his act so whatever. I'm kinda disappointed that it kinda falls in my lap again to go and see a higher up about tha when I would've imagined someone else has probably seen the horror. Anyhow, enough ranting and No hard feelings.

That poo poo is why I almost always have long sleeve rashguard and long sleeve spats, and a shower with expensive soaps right after I roll, and/or use benzo wipes if I can't get directly to a shower for any reason. Because that poo poo is in your mats now.

There's non-infectious stuff that can look like ringworm at first glance. So it's probably a good idea to talk to the guy first like an adult would instead of going to an internet message board to brainstorm ideas about it. Even still the guy should be wearing leggings or something at least. Irritated skin is more prone to infection.

There are very few conditions that truly look like ringworm but aren't that you will actually see on the mats. There are far more people willing to lie about having ringworm and saying stuff like "it is eczema" or "it's a burn" or "I'm sure it not ringworm." I have even had guys claim it is fine if taped up. If the instructor doesn't address it, this leaves Odddzy in a dilemma. Odddzy can refuse to roll with the guy but meanwhile he is rubbing his infected body on his training partners and mats. I've been around and am senior enough I can just tell someone to get the gently caress off the mats but Odddzy isn't. I can't tell you the number of visitors we've had where they won't even acknowledge an obvious infection until they are literally told to leave. Why is the onus on Odddzy to be polite to a guy who obviously doesn't care about the health and well being of his teammates. If you come into my house and poo poo on my floor, we're not having a conversation "like an adult." You are getting kicked out. Someone with an obvious and serious infection is doing exactly this.

My school has two locations and one is so much cleaner than the other. I go to dirty one two days a week and the clean one three days a week. At the dirty one 80% of the people I've seen go to the bathroom don't wear shoes or flipflops, even though the bathroom has literal piss on the floor. Then they step right on the mat. I watched this free-trial guy walk into the bathroom barefoot then outside on the street to smoke a cigarette barefoot and then back on the mat. As much as I have been enjoying BJJ, the atmosphere I train in feels like it's missing the """martial art""" piece. Where I train Judo everyone cleans the mats on our way out. The place is spotless, new players are taught about feet hygiene.

I did talk to the guy a few months back about a nail infection he had on his foot that was basically ringworm infected nail. He told me it wasn't contagious and that he puts nail polish on it. not sure if that does anything but whatever. I still talked to the instructor about that but the guy kept showing up to school so I imagine the instructor thought it wasn't a big deal at the time. The reason why some might think i'm taking a passive-agressive route this time is because the very direct ''you've got ringowrm there eh man? you should probably take care of it and come on the mats after'' didn't do poo poo. I thought I did mention I talked to the guy in my past post but rereading myself I realized I didn't.

I once thought I had ringworm and stayed out for like almost a month trying to treat it. Finally went to a doctor b/c the OTC stuff wasn't working and I was getting worried. It was eczema. Still flairs up from time to time, always the exact same spot and the exact same shape. Every so often I someone looks at me bugged eyed if they notice but I'm generally clean everywhere else so maybe they believe me.

I've seen that happen to 2 people who had what turned out to be eczema but had thought it was ringworm initially. But in each case they got doctor clearance just like you Xguard86.

The owner of the gym flat out told me to not come back in until it was healed when I get a dime size ringworm spot on my back from rolling. Since then I'm healed up and back in, but I haven't seen the people I was rolling with before. I'm guessing that he gave them a come to jesus talk and told them to come back when your poo poo is cleared up. No one likes that poo poo and all of the instructors seem pretty quick to stop that poo poo the moment it shows up.

From all these stories I'm assuming my gym is one of the cleaner ones but I'm wondering how when being clean is such a low bar. The mats are cleaned daily, everyone showers, everyone washes their gi each time, and no one steps in piss. Shouldn't that be the standard at every gym?

We have 4 mats and 15+ classes a day. We wash the mats twice a day but it is still challenging to keep everything clean with that kind of schedule. We also require clean gis and trimmed nails and have showers but despite all that you can't keep everything perfectly clean and there are infections from time to time.

Each time I was promoted I thought "uh oh, now I'm the worst (blue|purple) belt in the room." I actually felt better about the promotions of the guys behind me than my own. "Ah ha! now there are dudes at my rank that I can beat up! I feel legit now!"
