So I've been told by people that Tatami is a reliable Gi company. I'm just making a desicion as to which type - and two are coming up under that brand that interest me. Superlite or Hokori. Im not sure what the difference is - is it splitting hairs or are there big differences? Appreciate the patience. 3 weeks in and enjoying it immensely so far, but need my own Gi!

Has anyone had/have them thinking they where something contagious? I got scared and assumed them to be molluscum, and my doctor prescribed meds and froze em without actually seeing them because I had self treated with and over the counter. I'm just thinking because the bumps are not red or pink, no dimples or very slight dumpling, and my fiance has not gotten anything despite me having the bumps for about 2 months. It's just weird, they are only the back of my hands and some on arms, which do get roughed up in GI alot. Yes, I'm going to see my doctor tommorow about this. submitted by /u/BigD ..read more

Just wanted to tell someone about it, I don't really have anyone else I can lol. It was really fun and easygoing. The thing that suprised me though was that my throat was slightly sore after. I thought I was coming down with a cold but it was because of all the choke submissions...lmao. It's gone now. Edit: also sweat. So...much...sweat. submitted by /u/Nyxie_Koi [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

White belt here…so I hurt my first training partner today. So basically what happened was we were positional sparring, I ended up in an omaplata top position. That being said I used it to try and sweep/roll him.

Anyways I profusely apologized right after and while he was b ..read more

I’m not trolling. Yes, I’m serious and totally blind. What tips can you suggest? I’m hoping some older black belts with vision loss will be able to give advice. Realistically I won’t be full-on rolling for a while, but I am curious about competition. In all BJJ competition does it always start with one person mounting the other. Are you always starting out touching your opponent? If so, then I’ll prepare to enter some competition in a year or two when I have blue belt. submitted by /u/Alarmed-Instance5356 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
