What do you do with your uniform?

**wtkd** · 11-26-2005, 13:53

Most of the time I try to hang it up. But sometimes I just keep it in my bag.

**Antares33** · 11-26-2005, 14:12

lets see....

currently my belt and 1 rash guard are in my bag. One gi top and the matching pants are on the floor next to the bag. 2 other pairs of pants are hanging up in my closet with the other gi top and rash guard.

I think that covers just about every choice in the poll, so I just picked other.

Ummm.. after class I generally wash my dogi.

Laundering it comes to mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep one uniform and gi-less attire w/pads & mouthiece for whatever sparring ready in the gym bag at all times. I only pre-pack clean items, so as I get in from class I place in the laundry room and then pre-pack another set of whatever I wore before. The other "yet to be used" stuff stays on a hanger or in a drawer. Basically, what I'm trying to say is I have entirely too much stuff to be able to rotate through a week's worth of classes.

Getting funky is better than being funky, G.

Peace

I sell my used gis on ebay.

**wtkd** · 11-26-2005, 17:29

Ohh! Guess I'll have to go on ebay right away!

Do you sign them too just in case you're rich and famous someday?

**Cameron** · 11-26-2005, 18:23

Are you implying I'm not already?

**khujo78** · 11-26-2005, 19:15

I usually keep it in my gym bag til I wash it. Also, for those dealing with smelly boxing gloves...I usually spray some microbial febreeze into them and just let it drip out. Jus in case anyone had that problem...

**Budoka34** · 11-26-2005, 21:42

It depends.

If I only teach a class and don't work up a real sweat it goes back in the bag.

If I work up a sweat it gets hung out until the second wear unless it is really sweaty.

For grappling gear, Uwagi or rash guard gets rotated every class. They are never worn twice unless I'm gonna role with one of the guys that can tear me up. Then I like to make them suffer.

Honestly I don't even have a gym bag that I keep clothes in, just other odds and ends. I do all my dressing and stuff at home... generally just gets tossed over a chair in my room.

Heh. At least I'm a typical teen in that sense...

**Rich** · 11-27-2005, 01:50

After practice I wash my judogi and stick a clean one in my bag with my obi, shin pads, knee pads, elbow support, shoulder protector, tape (for fingers/toes)......hmmm, maybe martial arts aren't as beneficial to your health as they say!

Wash it and hang it to dry.

Or, just hang it and spray with a little lysol

and use it again in a few days.

**jakmak52** · 11-27-2005, 12:27

I have two Gi's, one black and one red. I have them laundered and heavy starch, because of the snapping sound they make when doing kata

**sean_stonehart** · 11-27-2005, 12:32

Toss 'em in the clothes hamper & grab another tshirt & set of pants for the next night.

The silks are dry cleaned & hung.

**kenpo123** · 11-27-2005, 14:49

my gi smells.. and its wrinkled.. the problem is after my work out im so tired and lazy i dont care where it goes.. so it gets crumpled and thrown in the gym bag.. i should just get a bunch of gi's to counter this problem and alternate between smelly gi's

So much for martial arts imparting personal discipline.

**KayJay** · 11-27-2005, 16:58

After being washed and hung to dry, my gi is folded and tied to fit perfectly into my gym bag. It gets washed after every one to two classes depending on what we do.
Since I usually take a kickboxing class which ends an hour before Aikido, I always shower beforehand so I'm never nasty getting into my gi either.

**stella fuentes** · 11-27-2005, 20:00

I checked "other". The worn gi always gets washed, hung out to dry and ironed. I like the feel of fresh clean keikogi. Can't stand "funky" smells,

Good thing I have not gone into the grappling arts (yet).

Then I pack a fresh set into my bag, along with lots of extra t-shirts and a pair of jogging pants.
The rest stay in the clothes closet.
