18: Avoiding the Funk

Ringworm, fungus, and staph infections are hazards of BJJ and many full contact sports. There are a number of things you can do to help prevent bringing them home with you and spreading them around.

Keeping yourself and your gear clean is your number one defense.

Are you washing your gi AND your belt after every class? Do your teammates a solid, don’t be the stinky kid. Wash your stuff.

And if you need to give the stinky kid a hint, this is the perfect time to share the Beauty and the Gi podcast.
