I'm so fulfilled right now with my choice to start Edit: 1yr 1mo later I've been a 4 stripe for 10mo now, promo ceremony is in 2 weeks, wish me luck Edit: I GOT MY BLUE BELT!!! Edit: 3-4mo since I got my blue belt, still training atleast 3days per week, sometimes more if I have time. I now help out newer white belts with some moves that are challenging. Love every second Edit: 2.5 years in. Still blue belt. Still very very much in love with it, but have no time to train. I go every chance I get, but I'm at maybe twice a month. Can't wait to get back Edit: I'm back to 3days a week. 1stripe blue belt now. Nvr give up even if u get the blues!

I’m a Female w/ long hair, so these are some things I keep in my bag: -variety of hair ties (tiny plastic ones, skinny standard ones, and scrunchies). Depending on how I’m doing my hair, I usually need more than one hair tie. -hairbrush -good sports bra sans zipper or metal parts. -makeup remover wipes and general body wipes. (I come after work and don’t want to feel gross or leave makeup on my training partner’s gi) -basic first aid kit -feminine hygiene products -towel for sweat (while at gym) Car/home -towel/seat cover in my car for my cloth seats (no shower at my gym right now) -at home I use a pedicure sponge with tea tree oil on my feet, I also use a tea tree oil leave in conditioner in my hair.

[@emschlef]

All good recommendations! Do you have a brand you like for sports bras? I want to buy new ones but it's been increasingly hard to find high support ones w/o zippers or metal.

[@colleentownsend4437]

@@emschlef I don’t have a specific brand since I tend to get a lot of mine from TJ Maxx or similar stores. However, I look for thick straps for extra support, high necklines/no cute front V detail, and good overall compression. Different bras are optimized for different sports and body types, but for me, I want it to be comfortable, but also functional. I really like the high neckline sports bras because if I’m not wearing a typical rash guard, I don’t have to worry about showing cleavage or having my partner’s hand getting stuck somewhere I don’t want it. They’re also good bc they tend to ~flatten~ things out more than other lower-neck varieties, which I find is more convenient/comfortable when I’m rolling. Hope that helps!

[@Joshb0213]

As someone that may have to go directly to the gym after work without going home first, I keep some natural baby wipes in my bag. I wear leather work boots all day long, so I feel better giving my feet a wipe down before getting on the mat. Just to kind of help with any kind of smell.

[@Jono793]

That's really considerate of you! And a really good idea. I use alcohol hand sanitizer to do the same thing. But baby wipes are a good shout!

[@DGold109]

I recommend soap and a small towel. After having some minor staph infections (impetigo) on my face I now will try to wash my face and get everything off while I am still sweaty and my pores are open. If there's a bit of time between finishing class and showering, try to take a bit of a longer shower to allow pores to re-open and wash out the grime you picked up. The type of soap isn't as important as washing your skin out thoroughly.

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

Bingo, I wash hands and face (and dry them!) before I leave, then take a good hot shower with soap when I get home. Knock on wood, nothing nasty yet.

[@Latrina_Bidet_IRS_Enfrocer]

Other essentials: - a spare underarm deodorant stick - a mini first aid kit: bandaid, liquid skin, joint tape. If not for you, then for your classmates if the gym's kit is missing anything. - ear guards, in case your ears are really sore from a previous practice - spare mouthguard - spare clean underwear: depending on how hot and sweaty your day was, it might be considerate to put on some fresh undies under your gi pants right before practice.

I've worked out on traditional heavy bags kzbin.infoUgkxp9-sf95nqfjey-uyzxUzQ7m9MXRPK1BE a spherical stuffed "wrecking ball" bag, and now this thing. What I like about it is that it has the heft to stay largely in place so I'm not chasing it around. It's tall enough to allow for headshots and body shots, but it's short enough to give an uppercut somewhere to land. I'm very happy so far. Filling it was a bit of a cluster. For top-offs, I've learned that you can screw the supplied nozzle onto any basic plastic water bottle. I can't speak to durability as I've only had it a week.

[@AnikaHofmann]

Other essentials for me: 1. basic first aid kit (gauze, bandaids, q-tips, polysporin, vaseline) for minor cuts/abrasions so that they don't interfere with your training or make the mat unsanitary. 2. tensor bandage(s) in case of sprain and/or any brace you have from past injurie(s) in case of re-injury 3. at least 3 hair ties (if you have long hair), 2 for my braids, one in case someone else forgot theirs 4. a snack. In case you push yourself too hard or miss a meal, have something sugary to pick yourself up, and keep you going after training 5. a hand towel. my gym doesn't have showers, it's important to wipe the sweat away so you don't freeze on your way home. My teacher says that safety is always worth splurging on. Thanks for the mint idea :)

[@PotentialEn3rgy]

As someone who rolled only 6ams for years. It became just a regular habit to hit the mouthwash before heading out in the morning, made me feel better and I'm sure my partners appreciated it.

[@SolidusLightning777]

-Minty gum to prevent rancid breath -Ankle brace from RDX because I messed up my ankle during a failed Muay Thai stance switch -Hair ties. When I teach kids, without fail, someone needs a hair tie. I'm on my second pack of 30 hair ties in the past 6 months -Elastic bandage roll because sprains happen easily, as mentioned above -Silica gel packets so my bag can dry more quickly after I remove my sweaty gear -Mouth guard. I use a Venum one now, but I'll be upgrading to a thin Sisu mouthguard soon. -Sometimes but not always Defense Body Wipes, which has tea tree oil. Or something similar in case I need to be somewhere before I get home and shower.

[@lenonkitchens7727]

I keep a couple of compression bandages in mine. A couple of times I've had elbows or knees tweaked a little bit, and sometimes a good compression bandage can make the difference between finishing the class and having to sit it out. Also makes it feel better the next day if you get it wrapped up immediately.

[@roxiereign]

I've been training almost 2 months, only woman at my BJJ classes (which doesn't bother me in the slightest). Some of these things below I carry guys could use ofc. I think the last one is very important and everyone needs! :) - Gi + No Gi gear - Athletic tape - Deodorant - Mini first aid kit - Female hygiene products - Hair ties - Mouth Guard

As a guy with long hair I agree Hair ties are a must! Just makes sure they're metal-free ones.

Hey there, binge watching your videos, my son (who’s 11) started 6 mths ago and myself (45) just started BJJ month ago… I also put Vick’s vapor inhaler, it opens up sinuses really well, I have inflamed sinuses sometimes & it’s really hard to breath especially all crumpled & folded up, so this is a tremendous help, thx for your videos, greatly appreciated

[@kristi-s2k]

A pumice stone is good to have, too. Not necessarily to keep in your bag, but at home. The bottoms of your feet can become dry, cracked, hard, and scratchy. Which could scrape or even cut your rolling partner. A good trick for softer feet is to smother your feet in Vaseline, put on heavy socks, go night night, and the next morning your feet will be a lot softer. Now, I will admit I’m super anal about my feet health, but can’t hurt, right? By the way, your channel is one of my faves, and you do a excellent job of explaining all things BJJ while being relatable, compassionate, and humorous. 10/10 Will watch again. 😊

[@calebpineault4417]

I also carry a mouth guard. It helps a lot from getting canker sores.

Guys, don't forget Analgesic Liniment (icyhot, biofreeze, etc.). Any time you have some sort of pain, maybe it's from jiu jitsu or something else, it's always nice to roll/spray some of that onto the affected area for relief. I have one in my gym bag and one in my Jiu Jitsu bag

I would add a nail file to smooth off any edges of the nails that can catch on skin or Gi material.

Triple antibiotic ointment is another one that always stays in my bag... Any time I have a little spot that looks like it could be something, I put that on right away. Speaking from experience, Staph infections are NO fun.

New to JJ ( about 5 weeks in) besides what was mentioned, a bandana, a roll of KT tape and a mouth guard

[@GlueFactoryBJJ]

Back when I was training, I noticed that different gyms had different "smells" that would transfer to your gi/no-gi clothes and, then, to the rest of your clothes. It was getting to the point that my wife had begun insisting I stop training. It wasn't MY smell because I knew what that was from years of competitive sports, Karate/Kung Fu/Tae Kwon Do, and weightlifting. This was new from when I started BJJ. I switched gyms for a short time and the smell changed as well. It seems to be a heavy-contact sports thing. BUT I found a cure... It was simple enough. I started using OxyClean in the washer (a full scoop with every load) and, after about a week or two all the smells were gone. I feel pretty confident that it was the OxyClean because we forgot to buy some for about a week and the smell returned. Maybe this isn't an issue for anyone else, but I'm a firm believer that this will work for others. I readily acknowledge that I may just be abnormally sensitive to this and it isn't an issue for anyone else, but it DEFINITELY works for me! Anyway, my $.02...

[@johnanderson3731]

Can we all Just give a big thank you 🙏 to the late great “Billy Mayes here with Oxy Clean!”….

[@Hekilikaua]

I don't take the entire bin of BCAAs, but I use a little container with a pre-measured amount for post-training. I also take 2 bottles for water. If I'm doing multiple classes, I will usually go through both. Additionally, I usually keep a towel from slowtide, some shower products, deodorant, clean pair of chonies and wipes for getting clean post-training. I have a 40 minute drive home and don't want my car smelling like mat funk. The quicker you get to the shower, the less chance of ringworm, etc.

[@guam58]

Hibiclens soap use it when you shower every other day. It helps keep all the skin diseases away, plus it decreases body odor for those couple days. Hospitals ask patients to shower with it prior to surgery to decrease chance of MRSA or Staph infections from skin that has not been disinfected.

[@Chewjitsu]

Yeah I'm familiar with it. My gym has never had any issues with skin infections though so.

[@Pbtr0ut]

I think something maybe overlooked is a nail file. Freshly cut nails, even though they’re short, are super sharp. A nail file will dull them out, just my two cents.

[@davideldridge6063]

I usually keep some alcohol wipes in my bag as well as some glucose tablets. Good for the same things as the dextrose powder he mentioned but can also be used if someone in the gym is a hypoglycemic diabetic.

[@phengnhou]

I'm usually going straight to the gym after work, so I pack some easy clothes to throw on for the drive home. Extra t-shirt, gym shorts if it's warm out, sweats if it is cold and gym towel. In a ziplock bag, I keep antibacterial skin wipes, hand sanitizer, and a small first aid kit. I also keep a traveling toothbrush. It might be weird but I always brush my teeth before class.

[@Damnationization]

I have a lot of the same things. I keep nail clippers in my car. I also keep BCAA and EAA both in my bag. The BCAA doesn't have dexterous. The stinky bag is kind of cool and would make a welcome edition. I will also sometimes keep a shaker cup.

Can you post which bcaa and carb you show in this video?

[@patrickbowersox416]

I just got started with BJJ but I like to keep a roll on stick of bio freeze in my bag. I also, as a diabetic, keep glucose tablets or glucose gummies in my bag along with a dedicated meter for checking my blood sugar. The reason I say it is dedicated to my BJJ bag is so that the only time it comes out of the bag is before and after class and should I need it during training.

I use the alphabandz they're pretty awesome for exactly what your talking about. I do Kali also...there's a lot of grip action going on in both.

I always keep a small travel size aerosol deodorant spray…just in case i need a quick freshen up before class…i hate to stink or smell others. Great video…thank you!

[@anthonymotley7709]

I keep a towel in my bag. Definitely a game changer.

[@RodrigoHernandez-mk1hg]

Peroxide to clean up any blood stains you leave on the mat, bandaids for any fresh cuts, anti fungal cream/ointment

[@lanedavis5917]

i put energy bars in my bag after rolling ppl are hungry and they will love you forever if you hook them up with one

[@dakotareeves9452]

That Stinky bag is just what I need! Always felt weird washing my big gym bag everytime.

[@williamsmith8760]

That extension tool is sounds good for electrical work

[@darwinvin1]

Month wash listerine to freshen up the mouthpiece and in case you drop it on the mat…kills mat bugs!

[@suchjeff]

Mouthguard is a good one to keep in the gym bag

[@josephmoreau9615]

Maybe I missed you mentioning it, but I keep a small first aid kit in my bag. Never know when you might need a bandaid or some IBU Profen.

[@mattlewallen1832]

Stinky bag! Genius!!!

[@revjh8457]

Hi, what was the brand of the finger extenders towards the end of the video. Thank you!

[@elucas1499]

Nail file, just clipping them can still leave them sharp. Liquid Bandaid, helps with small cuts and mat burn. Hair ties, can never have enough for both women and men. Tampons, help with nasty nose bleeds and most gyms don't have any for the ladies.
