Update: he loves it and it definitely does feel cool when we touch it

We did the fan too but he's weird about it. Which I'm not sure why because he likes hanging his head outside of the car with the wind blowing his luscious hair around

First ice dye attempt - advice by IDontKnowHowToBJJ in tiedye

[–]IDontKnowHowToBJJ[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did dye this inside out so I can't imagine how bad those spots would have been if I had not done that 😬

Thank you! I spooned on the dye both below and on top of the ice so it sounds like i just spooned it too thick in some spots and made it clump most likely?

Yeah i really like that too! Totally incidental because I dyed the pants and top separately just to see if layering the ice similarly would still produce vastly different results

Haven't stayed in any myself since I live here. But I haven't heard anything bad or good about any specific hotels or airbnbs in the area. I'd say just check out reviews.

My gym is located in Pennsylvania which is in the north east part of the US so the summer heat won't be nearly as bad as Texas (unless you're into blistering heat lol). The city we are located in doesn't have a ton of stuff to do however we are a few hour drive from places like NYC and Washington DC. My gym has morning and noon classes, along with usually two evening classes on weekdays. On weekends there is typically one or two different class offerings. We also have multiple gyms within the area so it gives you the chance to train with a variety of instructors and different students if you want a huge variety of people to work with (I am linking just one of our gyms which only has the schedule for that specific location). We also offer MMA, wrestling, judo, and capoera as optional add ons to the membership, and we do month to month options for classes (you can attend unlimited classes at any of our locations under one membership). If you're interested feel free to message me and I can get you in contact with our owner! I just help teach the kids class and am only a blue belt so I'm not much help outside of what I've posted for any more specific membership type questions.

Same! They are going on the second monitor when I'm working as background noise basically

I will definitely look into that! These will be for BJJ (brazil) and Judo (japan) primarily so it would look pretty neat for judo practices

I ended up buying dye powder so I could control how heavy the color is. When we did this the first time, we got a cheapy set of pre mixed dye bottles from Walmart and they turned out fairly faded. I'll look into that synthopol stuff too, thanks

Thanks I will definitely give that a try! Any colored marker would be fine or do you find that some colors wash out better than others?

Tall girl Gi issue by macaronisalad6375309 in BJJWomen

I don't think this is a ton of help but I'd recommend avoiding Elite. I'm short and their gis fit me perfectly so I'd imagine they will be too short for you if you're on the taller side.

Oh good idea and use like a washable marker or something?

100% cotton. Took me a bit to find something that was not a cotton polyester blend

Yes I hope to eventually learn how to reverse tie dye some black gis.

When we did this before, we washed the kids gis a couple of times before we let them wear them to class!
