btb900: Longer than me… so I'd guess over 3 years. Possibly closer to 4.

That's one of the reasons I stopped wearing white gis. People bled on them – ALL – the time.

That's probably not a good thing though because I might not get out all the 'spots,' but it keeps me sane.

Good luck at the tournament. I'll be at disneyland, but I'll be looking for updates on Facebook.

Bobspar, peroxide is one I've used in the past... in fact, Mike mentioned it at class. It works really well, but I'm not sure how hard it is on the fabric. It works really well on blood stains.

Georgette, great tip! Thanks.

Another option– OxyClean. It's a powdered hydrogen peroxide that's stronger than what you get in the bottle; you activate it by mixing with super hot water. It will get even dried, set-in blood out of your gi. I find it in the grocery store laundry section and it's saved several of my gis (I too have a frequently bleeding nose.)

Steve, I've found that putting hydrogen peroxide on blood stains before washing really cleans them away, even on a white gi. Sometimes you need two or three applications, but it kind of bubbles up and the stain disappears.

hey thanks for mentioning me I almost didn't come in tonight, but since the revolution is a week away, I need the mat time.

I have been working A LOT on my bottom escapes. I guess the combined private with Coach and reading BJJ Univ., I have been improving; it was good getting compliments from Rick, Bing and Thad on how I have gotten better recently.

It was an awesome class tonight.

And I was happy to hear your brother is doing better…..

ps. I got blood on my crappy gi tonight
