6. Maintain good hygiene. While this may seem obvious, not everyone realizes how far they have to go for training safety and comfort. Keep your body sensibly clean and keep your B.O. under control. Pay particular attention to the cleanliness of feet because you are in closer proximity of them during ground defense training. If you eat strong foods, brush your teeth or use a mouthwash/breath freshener before training. Lastly, keep your uniform clean. Don’t just leave it in your bag after a sweaty session. The next time you open your bag, the smell will be appalling. If you had a light session, you might be able to get away with just hanging your uniform up to air out, but most of the time, you should be washing it.

7. Don’t train sick or when suffering from an infection. There is a lot of body contact in ground defense and if you’re sick, there is a good chance you’ll pass on your illness to others. You’re also more likely to tire yourself out and make mistakes that can cause injuries when you’re not in good health. It is also very important not to go on the mats if you have a skin infection like ringworm or staph. They are highly contagious and easily spread from person to person or from person to mat to person.
