In 1914, a Japanese man with the alias, “Conde Koma”, arrived in Brazil where he met a family that would ultimately reshape the landscape of martial arts forever. Inspired by the story of one of the greatest martial artists who ever lived, we proudly present, “The Big Trouble in Little Rio Batch”. A soap bar with such a powerful backstory would need to come with equal power in protecting Jiu Jitsu players worldwide. A heaping dose of USA-grown, full-spectrum hemp extract works to reduce inflammation while a potent 5-Oil-blend of Frankincense, Australian Tea Tree, Blood Orange, Spearmint, and Geranium join forces to combat any potential infection-causing bacteria. For skin hydration, each giant 10 oz. mega-bar is infused with organic Avocado oil and Rice Bran oil. This massive bar is finished off with a sprinkle of fresh Brazilian Coffee grounds and grainy Cassava Flour (aka Farofa) to aid in exfoliating any dead skin acquired during heavy training.
A soap bar worthy of a title like “The Absolute Batch”, this Ultra Heavyweight 10oz. mega-bar comes loaded with bacteria-killing ingredients sourced World Wide - UMF 20+ Manuka Honey from New Zealand joins forces with a powerful fungus-fighting blend of Tea Tree, Thyme, and Cedarwood. Virgin Coconut oil deeply moisturizes while shredded Orange peels exfoliate dead skin acquired during heavy training. We polished off this giant with a potent infusion of “4 Thieves Oil” (Lemon, Rosemary, Clove, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon) - an herbal blend notoriously made famous by four grave-robbing thieves in the 15th century during the dark times of “The Bubonic Plague”. The thieves would coat themselves in the special concoction before robbing infectious dead bodies of their jewels to avoid becoming infected. Centuries later, we’ve harnessed this exact medicinal blend in our latest after-training creation.

Like the “Purple mountain majesties” of the Rockies, our latest bacteria-slaughtering Mega Bar glows like a backlit Amethyst stone. Strictly powered by ingredients grown on US soil, “The American Spring Batch” was inspired by just that; beginning with the pure Spring Water we source from Upstate New York, all the way to the 90-proof Tennessee Whiskey we’ve injected into each bar. A heavy dose of American Witch Hazel from Connecticut is then combined with a potent infection-fighting trifecta of USA-distilled Tea Tree Oil + USA-grown Carrot and Eucalyptus Oil. From California, where all of our soap products are crafted, we’ve added in a healthy pour of vitamin-rich Goat’s Milk along with raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar to soothe and fortify damaged skin. From Colorado, we’ve sourced Organic Wheat flower and Wheat germ oil for their high volume of Vitamin E, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B6 which help to prevent skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema and dry skin. Next, handfuls of USP-grade Epsom Salt are generously scattered in to soothe soar muscles. Finally, a plentiful amount of Hawaiian Mango Butter is added to deeply rehydrate while Florida Strawberry seeds, sprinkled in to exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training, seamlessly float in this 10oz. purple mammoth. This batch features a top note of freshly baked Apple pie with subtle notes of Eucalyptus. As the Jiu Jitsu scene in the USA continues to grow, so does our army of sudsy Black Belts, this one powered by ingredients grown in the soil of the Red, White, and Blue...yet designed to protect Jiu Jitsu Players worldwide.

While the formulation of this batch stemmed from the warriors of Feudal Japan and how they utilized Blue Indigo, the original talks that led to this batch actually revolved around an old sushi house in town. With it’s dark halls, low ceilings, and samurai artwork on the walls, it conjured up sounds of sharpening blades and scents of smoke and ash in our imagination. These thoughts of what a “samurai den” would have been like in the Edo Period led to our latest after training soap creation.
Each supersized 10oz. blue brick comes loaded with Indigo Extract from Tokushima, Japan which directly lends its dark hazy navy blue color to the bar, as well as its ability to fight bacteria and odor. For an extra boost of antibacterial power, we sourced 3 very special ingredients directly from The land of the rising sun: cooling Japanese Peppermint Oil, Hinoki Oil (Japanese Cypress), and Sugi Oil (Japanese Cedar). We also blended in our signature high grade Australian Tea Tree Oil.
Fresh Yuzu Fruit Juice is then poured in plentifully to this batch as it’s a Japanese antioxidant powerhouse packed with Vitamin C and also aids in skin rehydration.
Unfiltered Sake is also on the menu in this batch - drizzled in every bar due to it’s richness in amino-acids and natural enzymes that help to brighten skin.
Each bar is finally sprinkled with Bamboo Charcoal Powder to absorb any potentially harmful bacteria picked up on the mat while ground up Black Sesame Seeds work to exfoliate away any dead skin accumulated during heavy training.

*NOTE: The blue Indigo Extract in these bars will lightly bleed blue as you wash. When you're finished washing, place bar on a soap dish or wash cloth to prevent blue extract residue in your shower. From our experience sampling the soap over the last year, the extract will not permanently stain tile or grout.
A sweet-scented, supersized bacteria-hunting soap brick inspired by the predatory creatures of myth and folklore. Although rare, super packs of wolves have been recorded in the hundreds. These packs develop social bonds so strong they’ve been known to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the pack. Similarities of family and unity can be found throughout Jiu Jitsu academies around the world. We knew a bar built around a creature so formidable deserved a fungal-fighting formulation to match. We began by infusing this batch with one of the strongest natural bacteria killing oils on earth - East Cape Manuka oil, an ingredient that has been proven to be more than 33x more effective in eliminating the Staphylococcus Aureus (Staph) strain than it’s Australian counterpart. We’ve combined this with a potent, fungus fighting 5-oil-blend of Night Blooming Jasmine, Vetiver, Clary Sage, Tea tree, and Cypress. We then added in a healthy helping of Myrrh Resin Powder - used by the Egyptians for centuries to promote quick wound healing. Next, a bountiful amount of North American Blueberry Oil was poured in for its powerful antioxidants and high levels of alpha linolenic acid, an essential fat known for healing damaged skin. This 10oz. pink giant is finally finished off with a healthy helping of organic, moisture-rich Kokum Butter to rehydrate skin while a hefty dash of Apricot Seed Powder is sprinkled in each bar to exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training. Created to cleanse and protect us from the mat-born infections that often stalk us we step on the mat, we invite you to run with the Arm Bar wolf pack.

Introducing a Yeti-sized brick of fungus-fighting glycerine as dark as a moonless night in Tanzania; a soap bar that is truly unique in the realm of Jiu Jitsu, where the Arctic converges with Africa. Our 25th After-Training soap batch has taken more than a year to develop.
We start by using the traditional and time-consuming method of making African Black Soap. This involves roasting Cocoa Pods and Plantain Peels to produce ash, which lends the soap its dark color. Hydrating Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter are then generously heaped in.
Each monster block of soap is then supercharged with a powerful blend of four oils: Australian Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Arctic Peppermint, and Comfrey, which work together to eliminate mat-born bacteria. Inspired by ancient Viking medical practices for wound healing, Comfrey Oil and Yarrow Flower are generously loaded in every bar.
High-Mountain Honey was then drizzled in. A nectar renowned globally for its antibacterial qualities, various warrior cultures of the past, including the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and Knights, utilized this adaptable sweet substance to safeguard wounds from infection.
Every Yeti bar was rounded off with touch of organic Licorice Powder, which was commonly used in the Middle Ages to calm irritated skin. We also tossed in a dash of Activated Coconut Charcoal Powder to help remove impurities while a heavy pour of Coconut Oil offers bountiful rehydration to skin. Ground Walnut Shells were finally sprinkled in to exfoliate away any dead skin acquired during heavy training.
