Re: Do you fold your gi?
Always fold my Gi. The cotton over time will develop habits. By keeping the Gi folded I hope to encourage good habits. Many of my Gi(s) don't need to be ironed as they have developed good habits.
It is also part of the practice for me. A reminder of why I am at the dojo, to work on myself. The simple practice of folding my Gi is a reminder to slow down and concentrate on the task at hand. The folding becomes a disconnect from the multi tasking lives we live these days.
The only time I don't fold my Gi, usually happens after my private weapons practice. In which case, I don't sweat a lot and plan to re use that gi for training later that day. I will hang it up to air dry. Training in a dank Gi is zero fun.
