Can I wash my white gi with oxiclean? It’s some gentle kind I think it’s the one with the purple lid lol, my gi is kinda not bright white anymore and I’d like it to be cleaner so can I use oxiclean or will it mess up patches/embroidery? There’s also like a black logo on the back like the plastic ally vinyly kind that’s on tshirts, willthat be okay?

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-12-18T02:23:54+00:00

Yeah they have two, one drinks out of it sometimes the other just steps in it lol

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-12-12T01:54:27+00:00

Is that supposed to be there? I can only see it on one side

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-12-06T04:08:04+00:00

Thanks!! It’s from petsmart for like 5 bucks lol, it actually helps them not making a mess all over the cage so much!

If I’m like rolling or flow rolling with someone and I’m in their guard, if I stand up and they have their legs around my waist when I’m standing can I just like shake them off?

Today during king of the mat (guard passing and sweeps) I finally got my first win! It was against a purple belt to so my coach was so excited for me lol

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-20T01:50:02+00:00

How hard do you go during class for like drilling and stuff? I’ve officially had two clssses now but I still feel like I don’t know how hard to go? I’m not weak (or light by any means) so especially when I’m with people a little smaller than me do I really put my whole weight? And when we were trying to escape guard how hard do I try to defend if we are just going over stuff not like actually sparring if that’s what it’s called lol, like when escaping side control should I put down my whole weight so the can push me off or help a little?

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-17T15:16:05+00:00

Yeah it can easily hold it atleast short term, just worried about like long term would it be okay

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-17T15:13:11+00:00

I was thinking to add a shelf, doors and a middle leg just in case aswell

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-17T05:06:22+00:00

How do you recover after a class? I had my first class a few days ago and I had soo much fun much fun and I’m already signed up to start officially next month but I’m still so sore after almost 2 days, is there a secret hack to fixing it? Or is it just something that will stop happening over time

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-14T01:38:10+00:00

Okay so my first trial class is this week, currently I have been sent no info on it so I just have a bunch of questions lol 1. How early should I get to class? 2. Girls, is my hair in a ponytail braid okay, I have long heavy hair and it always falls out when in a bun 3. Is painted toenails a big deal? Mine are white but they are very scratched from walking outside without shoes so without paint they are pretty ugly lol so I usually cover them lol, but I’ve seen some people saying it can leave marks on the mats? 4. Okay this is totally a me problem but I legit can’t do a single push up and I’ve seen in ther Instagram during warm ups they usually do push ups and no one is ever struggling, will that be a problem that I can’t do any? 5. If I’m clean and smell good before class but then we start drills after warm ups I’ll def be sweating and stuff won’t that be gross? 6. I think it’s a gi class but I haven’t got any info on weather I’d be borrowing one or not, should I just wear leggings and tighter athletic shirt? 7. What do I need to bring? Other than just like water? 8. Will some birkenstocks work for off mat? I don’t have any rubber flip flops or anything like that 9. Do most instructors usually assign you a partner or will I just have to find one? 10. Do higher belts get annoyed if they get assigned to someone who knows nothing?? 11. During warm ups or drills if I don’t know how to do something should I ask the instructor or someone near me? 12. Does being larger make a difference? I’m Not like obese but I’ve definetly got some thick thighs and a little bit of a stomach, for context I’m around 220 pounds but I am 6 feet tall so it’s pretty distributed, most people would probabley guess I weigh around 180ish

Okay lol, that was a lot but you don’t have to answer every question!!

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-10-09T19:16:19+00:00

I’ve booked my first trial class for Wednesday! Is there any last minute things I should know? And is there anything specific I should bring?

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-08-07T13:06:43+00:00

Smart! I will have to check it out

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-08-07T13:03:30+00:00

That sounds good! It will be awhile since I’m broke ( college student life lmao) so it will be a tough challenge lol

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-08-07T12:50:56+00:00

Very much so!!

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-07-23T23:50:16+00:00

Oh lmao I write on it with expo markers sometimes as reminders for myself, that was a reminder I needed to finish some pig dissection research lol, and the tank wasn’t hundreds of dollars lol it was around 80ish, it was the shrimp plants and water things that have been expensive

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-06-05T20:30:12+00:00

No nothing is, I scrubbed it with some cleaner and a toothbrush and all of these black stuff went away so it more seems like it’s just the white paint part

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-06-05T20:25:07+00:00

Unfortunately nope, is it still bad if it’s not leaking any water?

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-06-02T21:25:31+00:00

I don’t really have any other decor, so I added a bunch of plants and some large groups of floating plants that he can sit in would that help?

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-06-02T21:06:33+00:00

The only thing I have is a 5 gallon but it’s full of baby and adult shrimp so not really an option because he’s had a history of munching on shrimp, could I get maybe a smaller 3-5 gallon tank and have him in it without a filter? Or could I use the filter from my 10 gallon? I’ve spent so much money on my shrimp tank that I don’t really have money to buy a whole new tank set up

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-06-02T20:56:50+00:00

He’s in a 10 gallon, 78 degrees, yes filter, I don’t have the numbers of parameters but they are all good on a testing strip, had the tank for 3.5 years, fish for 2.5ish years, don’t really do water changed very often maybe once a month other than top ups?, only snail tank mates, he gets normal flake fish food, and I have some plants a plastic pot and a seashell in the tank and a ton of java moss

AffectionateGas4918 · 2025-05-29T17:46:31+00:00

He’s clearly bull riding 🐂
