7 Secrets to Defunk Your Gi
Would you want to roll with someone who has a funky gi?
Of course not!
If you train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu long enough, your gi(s) will stink from time to time. It’s only natural with all that sweat. Your gi can pick up bacteria and other foul-smelling germs from the mat or just from rolling with your training partner. Your gi might smell fine when you put it on, then out of nowhere it starts smelling really bad a few minutes into training. You might forget to wash your gi after training and the ok-smelling gi might turn into an “OMG what is that horrible smell?!” gi in a day or two.
