Caring for Your BJJ Belt

Your BJJ belt is more than just a piece of gear—it symbolizes your hard work, dedication, and progress. Keeping it clean and in good condition is essential for hygiene and preserving its lifespan. Here are some tips on caring for your BJJ belt:

1. Wash Your Belt Regularly

Contrary to old myths about “never washing your belt,” keeping it clean is crucial for preventing the spread of bacteria, fungi, and unpleasant odors. Here’s how:

• Use Cold Water: Wash your belt in cold water to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
• Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.
• Gentle Cycle or Hand Wash: Protect your belt by washing it on a gentle cycle or by hand.

2. Dry It Properly

• Air Dry Only: Avoid using a dryer, as high heat can weaken the belt’s material and cause shrinkage. Hang it in a well-ventilated area to dry naturally.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the colors over time.

3. Maintain Hygiene During Training

• Keep It Off the Floor: Place your belt on a clean surface before and after training.
• Avoid Sweaty Storage: Don’t leave your belt in a damp gym bag after training. Air it out immediately to prevent bacterial growth.

4. Rotate Belts If Necessary

If you train frequently, consider using two belts. This allows you to wash one while keeping the other ready for training.

5. Replace When Needed

While a worn belt has character, a belt that’s too frayed or unsanitary should be replaced. Keeping your belt in good condition reflects respect for your training and your partners.

By following these tips, you’ll not only keep your belt looking great but also stay healthy and ready to roll!
