Jiu Jitsu rash guards and spats can be expensive. Here are some tips on how to care for them.
Rash guards and spats are typically made of a synthetic blend with a percentage of that being spandex.
1. WASH IN COLD WATER
2. HANG DRY
That is really all it takes to extend the life your grappling rash guard and spats
BONUS TIPS!!!
Pre-treat/spray detergent on to the arm pit area of your rash guard. This will help remove any odors
The #1 reason to keep your rash guard out of the dryer..... if you get body odor embedded in your rash guard and it does NOT come out in the wash. When you put the rash guard in the dryer, it "sets" the odor into the fabric. Then it is very difficult to get the funky odor out. Then no one wants to roll with you - because your gear smells. Then you will be sad.
Another benefit of keeping your rash guard / spats out of the dryer - you will keep those annoying fuzzy things that love to stick to rash guards / spats.
FINAL BONUS TIP!!!
If you have a loose thread on your gear - CUT IT WITH A SCISSOR. Do not pull it. Do not pull it.

Cageside & Toro BJJ Fighter Shirt Program
Cageside Fight Company along with Toro BJJ have recently started a "Fighter Shirt Program"
If you sell a minimum of 20 shirts, you will receive 3 free shirts. If you sell 50 shirts, you will receive 5 free shirts.
The program helps MMA and Jiu Jitsu fighters raise funds. We can design and pre-sell "Signature" shirts.
The shirt retails for $26 on our website: www.cageside.com Each shirt that we sell, the fighter gets $9. When the pre-sale ends we print the shirts (in-house) and mail them to everyone who ordered one. Then we mail a check to the fighter. We recently did this for Mike Pagano. We wrote Mike a check for just over $600. Mike simply promoted the shirt on Facebook and Instagram, There was ZERO out of pocket cost to Mike.
The shirts are all soft, poly/cotton blends - with 1 color front and 1 color back. There is no out of pocket cost to the fighter. This is a great way to raise money to help with training camps or to help with plane tickets to out of state tournaments.
If you sell a minimum of 20 shirts, you will receive 3 free shirts. If you sell 50 shirts, you will receive 5 free shirts.
Interested fighters should email us at Cageside@gmail.com - put FIGHTER SHIRT in the subject line. Please give me an idea of what you'd like on the shirts. If you
have any sponsors - please send them to me as well. You can just list
them or send an image. Let me know if you have a particular fight or event that you are trying to raise money for so we can plan accordingly

Meatballs and Sauce Recipe
Start with your sauce.
Making homemade Italian Sauce is super easy and delicious.
Ingredients:
6-7 garlic cloves, chopped
1 can organic tomato paste
1 15oz can organic tomato sauce
3 28oz cans of organic whole peeled tomatoes
3oz of olive oil
salt
pepper
ground oregano
ground parsley
In large pot put in the olive oil and garlic - simmer (very low heat) until the garlic begins to get golden brown (2-4 minutes)
Add the tomato paste. continue to simmer for 2 minutes
Add the tomato sauce
Stir while continuing to simmer
Open the cans of peeled tomatoes 1 at a time pour into a medium sized bowl. Squish the tomatoes by hand until they have a semi smooth consistency and add to the pot
Continue to cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add seasonings to your liking - go easy on the salt until you get it just right. You can't add too much oregano
Cook for 90 minutes to 2 hours
MEATBALLS
While your sauce is simmering - it's meatball time!
Ingredients:
1lb ground veal
3/4lb ground pork
1/2lb ground beef
1 egg
4oz grated Parmesan cheese
3-4 minced garlic cloves
oregano
salt
pepper
mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand - make sure you mix well
in a large pan begin heating up olive oil on medium heat - enough oil to cook the meatballs - maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch deep
form your meatballs by hand and add to the pan (don't overcrowd the pan) cook on medium heat - move your meatballs - browning on all sides. As the meatballs are cooked - add them to your sauce.
Instead of pasta - use zucchini. I slice zucchini on a mandolin slicer and quickly cook it in a pan with olive oil.
You can also use spaghetti squash - Google it
