Retro Grappler Fingernail Clippers

Be a good teammate and trim your booger hooks!

It is important to cut your nails for jiu-jitsu to prevent cutting and scratching training partners, which can lead to infections. Long nails also put you at risk for breaking or tearing them, which is painful and can keep you from training. Additionally, trimming nails helps maintain good hygiene and shows respect for your training partners. 
Why you should cut your nails

• Preventing injury to partners: Long nails can easily scratch or cut opponents during grappling, and these small wounds can lead to infections. This is especially true in a sweaty, close-contact environment like a jiu-jitsu gym.
• Protecting your own nails: Long nails are prone to snagging on gis and being torn or broken, which is painful and can sideline you from training.
• Maintaining hygiene: Bacteria and dirt can accumulate under long nails, creating a higher risk of spreading germs to yourself and others.
• Respecting your training partners: Keeping nails trimmed is a basic sign of respect for your teammates and is often a required rule in gyms and for competitions.
• Improving hygiene: Trimming nails is essential for good hygiene, but it's also important to file them to remove sharp edges after clipping to further prevent injuries
