Get Naked, Ladies!

-- Jonna B.

Okay, before your mind gets dirty, let me get this straight -- ladies, get your face "naked" (without make-up) before training!

I have made a mistake of not cleaning my face before coming to the dojo a few years back when I was just starting.  Imagine my horror when I saw my partner's white gi covered in smudges of beige, pink, black and blue!  Thankfully, the guy was very gracious and politely declined my offer of having his gi laundered, saying that there's nothing to worry about.  Eeeek!  So I made a mental note and swore not to soil someone's gi again.  BJJ & make-up don't mix well!
