Joe, Im your ally in this. I dont wash my belt except once in a blue moon. I do hang it after every class so it airs out.
Sweet. Let's be selfish together.

You know...
It's probably totally fine to skip washing the belt if, for example, you're just teaching class and not rolling, or drilling on a clean mat, where nobody's really breaking a sweat. I do this all the time.
What I can't understand it's if you had an all out barn burner of a summertime training session, and basically just mopped up everything that came off of everybody else's body for the last 3 hours, why wouldn't you wash your belt?
Perhaps this would be one of the occasions that Joe washes his belt? I know a lot of coaches who rarely roll, so I think it's totally understandable why they wouldn't wash their belt every single time.
Btw, this is from the point of view of someone who is a former anti-washer. I was a blue belt for 7 years and I think my belt probably has at least a couple mutant strains of some rare STDs.

Joe, you should log it in your training history every time you wash your belt so we can track it.

Robert, the sitation you described would get my belt washed.
Matt, your genius continues to impress. I will start my belt washing training history today.
Alas, nothing to report.

I have decided the issue is we need to stop washing all together in the BJJ community the problem is we are too clean and we need more exposure to bacteria and fungus in order to build heard immunity..
Plus think all of the unique stench based submissions

Another brilliant idea. And based in science, so how could it be wrong?

premium mats should also be removed and we roll in mud, slush or nearby mud pit to even the odds for all involved and extra delights

I remember reading stories about Matt Lindland using that as a legit tactic back in the day. Wouldn't shower for a week before a fight to make it as unpleasant for his opponent as possible. No idea it's true, obviously, but as a story it certainly had legs.

I believe it’s true, he looks like he smells.

I heard that as well, that he was horribly stinky. And an awful human. Just what I heard.

Hanging dry after a nice cold wash. That’s a happy belt.

I need a stripes lesson from this person. Mine always look like, well.....like I did it.

I even accidentally shut it in my car door once.
I know a guy who tied his new belt to the back of a truck and drove it around in gravel for a bit to make it look old. He will go to Hell.

Let's set up that "How to do stripes correctly" seminar anytime, Matt. I could definitely use it!

That’s nuts. This was the first belt that I didn’t actually want it to show any wear as it looked pretty beautiful right out of the package.

I’ll make an instructional video. My YouTube could use the traffic.
