I usually take that shit off before even stepping outside of the gym. The most I wear in public is a tshirt and gi pants. But that’s when I’m grabbing some milk or something in a mini mart.
Years ago, a student of mine let one of his friends wear a club gi as a Halloween costume. It was done up with the club logo and website etc. and the guy put it on, got drunk, and chased people around town, throwing firecrackers at them.
I did wear my GI pants and an old judo GI top years ago for Halloween with a plastic samurai sword and a shitty black wig we tried to make look like Japanese ponytail/ Sumo sort of hairstyle.
Within an hour of drinking, I lost the sword & belt
The top ponytail came out of the wig. I just basically looked like a crazy person.
Unless you’re showering at the gym I never understood changing before going home. That’s just extra dirty clothes
I shower at home, put on gi pants and my rash guard. I carry the jacket and belt. I drive to class, then I drive home. Gi goes straight to the washing machine and I go straight to a shower
If you live far away, take public transportation, aren’t going home, then I understand
