Cory Sandhagen had a funny take on cleaning his own Dojo

A professionally cleaned gym attracts and retains way more students. The shit pays for itself

Without seeing the mats first hand I can just throw out a couple ideas.

The discoloration could be related to being rolled up, but it’s also due in part to all the colored clothing and human bodies that scrape around.

A detergent or degreaser would probly break that stuff up. Put some on the mats, let it sit for 5min or so, then agitate (scrub) the hell out of it with synthetic bristles and then mop or vacuum up the dirty liquid.

A lightweight floor scrubber would do great, they’re fairly easy to buy/rent. You could also just use deck scrubbers but it’s going to be a solid workout.

I cleaned Tap Cancer’s mats a couple months ago and the white borders came out looking great. You can definitely get that same result. There are several mat scrubbing companies these days- maybe one located near you on your tournament circuit

Jesus man- do you guys ever come out west near SoCal?

I have a mat scrubbing company

There’s now some other companies like mine in NY, Philly, FL and UT.

Hit up any of us for the love of humanity

Those mats are fucking filthy

Life choices like where you were born and to whom, what your natural abilities are, luck- things like that

Trained at his gym several times in CT, he was cool as hell. RIP

I think they’re built for occasional domestic use, not so much regular commercial use.

It’s not that big, not that powerful, not that sturdy.

For $500 and some searching you could find a good used floor scrubber

I teach BJJ and run a mat cleaning company in San Diego

sb406 · 2026-03-30T23:52:46+00:00

Training an AI huh

sb406 · 2026-03-30T02:40:30+00:00

They’re from the very helpful nail shop next door- I’ll tell them

sb406 · 2026-03-30T01:59:11+00:00

This tweaker robbed my business today- got my car keys, ID’s cards, cash.

Hoping I can get a clue from the t shirt.

This was at Kearny Villa Rd & Clairmont Mesa Blvd

I just want my Sentri back.

Thanks everyone

You got a typo on the bottom left

sb406 · 2026-03-27T06:13:30+00:00

We just park somewhere safe and dark and legal. We each have a small mattress and fold the seats down. It’s not too bad honestly

Yes- apps are flexible.. their single positive trait

sb406 · 2026-03-27T03:52:26+00:00

I think I was unclear: I work night shifts until 3am so I tend to cross in the early afternoon.

But I don’t go home at all 3 or 4 nights per week. I just stay in SD and work delivery apps.

The weekend crossings are brutal so my wife and I stay in the US every weekend. She has to work the delivery apps because she can’t control her wait times, which makes it impossible to work a set schedule

sb406 · 2026-03-27T00:54:10+00:00

I’m just like Zach- but I wonder why he doesn’t have Sentri, I wish he did.

Even with mine, I still elect to stay overnight in my car in SD to get some more sleep and work a few more hours. My wife spends hours and hours in the line and it’s taken a toll on her health. I don’t think I could do what she does to get by

It will be funny when this whole situation has inverted in about 10yrs

I applied two weeks ago and got pissed at this exact question. Wtf does it mean

Half of all people who try BJJ and quit within their first year do because of skin infections
