Not that it does you any good now, but if you email IBJJF ahead of time and let them know you can't compete for whatever reason, even if you make it up and it sounds good, they'll typically issue you a credit.

ICHIBAHN posted:Most common smell I've noticed are vegetables, weed and rear end musk. This is going to be really weird but I think a lot about smells in BJJ. I'm a sensory scientist and I was actually thinking about doing a write up about gross BJJ smells. One of the most common I've smelled is nonanal is which is like a greasy smell from decomposition of natural skin oils and one of the first things I notice in a gi. It doesn't help that I'm hyper sensitive to that aroma. As a gi gets worse I start noticing butyric and isovaleric acid which is the smell of vomit and stinky feet or Limburger cheese. If a guy smells like that then I won't roll with him. Sometimes I really wish I wasn't aware of this stuff.

Odddzy posted:What's the thing that makes some clothes smell like ammonia? I need to do a literature search to be 100% sure but ammonia is a byproduct of amino acid breakdown so I attribute it to the degradation of those in the gi. It could also be urea excreted from sweat. Another related thing is that piss smell. Some people who sweat just smell like ammonia but I think that piss smell has something to do with microbe activity so I avoid those who smell like piss

I wash my gis with a dash of eucalyptus and / or tea tree oil to ensure no funkiness and once they're dry it doesn't even linger

Due to a string of knee and hamstring injuries, I am trying BJJ for the first time next week  Any tips or things in general to look out for a first timer? It's a no gi; do I wear a short sleeve or a long sleeve wicking shirt?

Either are fine, it's personal preference. I'm curious why a knee injury would drive you to BJJ, though. 75% of my game is just twisting people's knees until they let me get on top.

The knee injuries are mostly meniscus tears from either unfortunate plants/cuts while running or compensating while healing from those (and being overweight). I won't know until I try, but I suspect that I will fare better if I am not running.

If I let a rashguard sit without washing it, 100% it will smell like ammonia, and it's hard to get that smell out. I don't have any special (or even careful) diet.

I’ve found Borax is pretty effective for getting stubborn funky smells out of gis and rashguards. e: heated drying is helpful too Dave Grool fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Nov 8, 2018 |

Overnight soak in a cold water with a decently high concentration of white vinegar works pretty good as well.

Sunlight helps kill stains and viruses, it’s the only thing that will get out turmeric stains, although not sure why you would have turmeric on your gi

Point of clarification putting a gi in the sun is fine to dry it out but is not a substitute for washing.

My solution to the ammonia smell was to have a wetter clothes:water ratio in the laundry, and to be less of a cheapass with the detergent. This was something that was quite annoying when i was still on coin-op laundry. It's not perfect. Once in a while if the smell lingers past a wash, I'll dump like 1/4 box of baking soda into the wash with poo poo and that seems to get it. loving hassle, though. Makes me have to do like 25% more loads of laundry.

Shower before class, cut your nails, get there a bit early to ask about pre and post class procedures, breathe, don't be afraid to ask questions regarding techniques, have fun. I prefer short sleeve for no gi.

I used to eat a bacon egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup, BEC with SPK in local parlance, with a large coffee every morning right before rolling. Never bothered me but a lot of people were surprised I could do it.

I've heard way too many stories of people asking others to go light and then try to murder their partner. Did you tell him to calm down or just roll with it?
