Ladder Fitness App Review: Honest 8-Month User Experience

Hey everyone, Cameron here from Grapplers Graveyard!

I wanted to share my real experience using the Ladder Fitness app, because this isn’t a review I planned to write, it’s one that happened organically. Like a lot of people, I first came across Ladder through a TikTok ad. Normally I scroll past those, but curiosity got the best of me. I downloaded the app, started the 7-day free trial, and figured I’d give it a fair shot.

Here is my Review!

Buying a BJJ gi for kids doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated. Kids grow fast, gis get washed a lot, and most parents just want something comfortable, durable, and competition-legal without overspending.

Best BJJ Gi for Hot Weather

Training BJJ in hot weather changes everything. Thick gis trap heat, drain energy, and make hard rounds even harder — especially in places like Arizona where summer never lets up.

We put together a guide breaking down the best BJJ gis for hot weather, including ultra-lightweight training options (that aren’t IBJJF legal — and that’s okay) plus competition-legal picks that still work in warm gyms.

If you train in the heat, this guide will save you discomfort, fatigue, and bad gear choices.

How to Get a DQ in BJJ Competitions (And How to Avoid It)

Getting disqualified in a BJJ competition is one of the easiest ways to lose a match without actually being outperformed. Most DQs happen because athletes ignore the rules, lose control, or assume a technique is legal when it is not. Understanding what causes a disqualification helps competitors stay safe, follow the rules, and keep their chances of winning alive.
