Caring for your Jiu Jitsu Gi

A jiu-jitsu gi is a crucial piece of gear for all BJJ players, though few know how to care for their gi.

Here are some helpful tips:

FIRST WASHING:
  • Wash in COLD water. NEVER use warm or hot water
  • Hang dry - keep it out of the dryer
  • Never use bleach (clorox) as bleach damages the fibers of your gi

IF your gi is baggy (too big) you can place it in the dryer AFTER washing.

Be sure to check on it (and try it on) every 7 to 10 minutes until it has shrunk to the desired length.

Once you have your gi properly sized - never put it in the dryer again. HANG DRY ONLY

Further Washings:

USE COLD WATER and HAND DRY

Optional for colored uniforms (black, blue, red)

Prior to the first wearing/wash, soak the gi in a tube with 3 cups of white vinegar and water. Allow it to soak for 30 minutes, and then wash. This helps to "SET" the color of the gi and minimizes fading.

Hope this helps! ~ Boomer

Cageside MMA Sponsoring Jake Rosholt at UFC 102


Cageside MMA is proud to announce we will be sponsoring Jake Rosolt at UFC 102.


Jake, of Team Takedown, will be matched up against Chris Leben. The fight will be broadcast during the live pay per view card.


Jake told FIGHT! Magazine:


“This is a huge, huge fight for me. I’m fighting someone with a big name, who has tons of fans and respect. It’s on pay-per-view, on the main card, so I’m pumped. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the biggest fight of my life…. Chris is a very tough fighter who always comes forward and puts pressure on his opponents, and he’s gonna try to knock my head off. But I’ll be ready for that and I’ll be able to take the fight wherever I want.”
