Here’s a quick picture of the new Foster Lotus Club patches. I think they look really cool. Can’t wait to sport it on the back of a gi.

Scramble Stuff: MMA without attitude
I wanted to post a couple of pics of my new Scramble Stuff shirt. As I said before, it’s a very thick, soft shirt. The quality is noticeably higher than the typical t-shirt. It shrunk up just a hair, too, so that it has a slightly fitted feel to it. I’m 5’10” and about 180lbs [...]
Friday Class and Pictures of my Green Dyed Gi
I’ve been at class all week, even managing to make the Tuesday class, which is rare for me. I am looking forward to the tournament coming up on November 7th. I was wearing my cool green Gameness Pearl gi. My back is feeling pretty good, and I’m just looking to have fun at class. Today [...]
Review: Razorback Jiu Jitsu Gold Weave Gi
A few weeks back, I heard from Douglas at Razorback Jiu Jitsu. He had some gold weave gis made to order and was going to be selling them for well below what you’d expect to pay for a BJJ gi, currently only $65 (no that’s not a typo). He asked me if I’d be interested [...]
Razorback Jiu-Jitsu
Over there on the right side of my blog is a link to Razorback Jiu Jitsu at http://www.bjjgi.net. It’s the one sandwiched between a couple of banners to two BJJ oriented online communities I like, which you should also check out. I want to thank everyone who’s taken time to check out Douglas’ site and [...]
Dying my BJJ Gi
Well, there it is. My first attempt at dying a gi. Honestly, I didn’t do that great a job. I was very hopeful, after having seen Georgette’s awesome kimonos. But, still, despite some flaws, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I learned some things that lead me to believe that my next try [...]
Fun Stuff for Friday
Got some dye from Dharma Trading Company on the way. Ordered a few colors to dye some white gis I have. Should be fun. I was inspired by Georgette’s multiple posts on the subject over at her blog. I think I’m going to start with a charcoal grey gi, just because I like the way [...]
Biohazard on the mat
I walk into class tonight and the first person I see is Bingo, which is awesome. I got to congratulate him on his promotion to purple belt. He’s a terrific guy, a great training partner and is a big part of the school family. Congrats, Bing! That was great. Then guys start filing in and [...]
Washing the BJJ Gi
Or, in other words, “Dude, your gi reeks.” This is a public service announcement. My wife does the lion’s share of laundry in our house, but I wash my BJJ gear. A very basic question that I hear a lot has to do with how to care for the gi. Most gis will come with [...]
