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.

This translucent, lagoon-blue powerhouse was inspired by the clear Hawaiian waters we play in, the tropical rainfall we depend on, and the Jiu Jitsu mats we frequent. We tapped in The Arm Bar Soap Co., purveyors of high-level, all-natural bacteria-fighting soap, to craft this batch for us. This product is ideal for ocean dwellers + Jiu Jitsu players alike.
In fact, the same rain that flourishes the land subsequently opens the rivers, streams, and drain systems which can lead to both agricultural + urban runoff, sewage spills, and overflows which can contain harmful infection-causing bacteria - a realm we are all too familiar with at Arm Bar.
Each and every bar comes infused with a supercharged, organic, bacteria-destroying blend of Australian Tea Tree Oil, Maui Lavender Oil, Laukahi Extract, and Sandalwood Oil. This mixture is fortified with a heaping dose of hydrating ingredients sourced across the island chain - organic Kukui Nut Oil from O’ahu, Mangosteen Extract from the Big Island, and Honey from the island of Kaua’i. The vitamin-rich Kukui Nut Oil and Mangosteen work to strengthen the skin barrier with rich fatty acids and Xanthones while the Honey offers anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits; meanwhile all work congruently to soothe and relieve sun-damaged skin. If that wasn’t enough, we then layered in a bountiful amount of Aloe Vera Butter + Avocado Oil for their high levels of Vitamin E and anti-oxidants. This deep-cleansing monster is finished off with soothing Alaea sea salt from the west side of Kaua’i, magnesium-rich Chlorella powder (which lends itself to the color of the soap bar), and finally sprinkled with ground Apricot Seed “Sand” to aid in gently exfoliating away any dead skin acquired during training or surfing.
20 samples over 2 years - “The Sand Bar” soap project brings two beautiful worlds together under one banner - preventing potential skin infections from keeping us away from the things we love.
For years we’ve wanted to create a bar encompassing the spirit of fall and there feels like no better time than Halloween.
The air temps have dropped and it takes an extra round or two to warm up every train. Jack-o-lanterns sit atop most porches these days and so we decided to go heavy on the Pumpkin Powder and Cinnamon Powder spices giving our latest After-Training creation - “The Sarcophagus Scrub Batch” - it’s unique autumn scent.
This mummy-wrapped, Gi-clad, glowing orange bacteria and fungus-fighter comes jam-packed with our signature Australian Tea Tree Oil to which we joined it’s antibacterial forces with antiviral Organic Witch Hazel, which works dually as an astringent while warding off potential infection. Cinnamon Oil was also trickled into each bar due to numerous studies showing the undeniable bacteria and fungus-killing benefits of this sweet-scented bark’s liquid extract.
We then add in a healthy dose of vitamin and antioxidant-rich ingredients like Wolf Berry Extract + Blackberry Extract to stop free-radicals that can damage skin cells while calming and soothing naturally as they’re absorbed into the skin.
Kaolin Clay is a brand new ingredient we incorporated into this batch - a miracle powder that absorbs excess oils without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Because of its unique molecular structure, Kaolin Clay has the ability to absorb deep-seated impurities like dirt and mat grime, providing a deep-clean after a day of hard training.
This limited-edition spooky Black belt is finally finished off with a heavy moisturizing dollop of organic Shea Butter + Coconut Oil to rehydrate and revitalize skin after our deep-cleansing ingredients have done their dirty work. Organic Pumpkin Seeds are finally ground up and sprinkled heavily in each bar, adding a solid grit and “scrub” to our Sarcophagus Batch to exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training.
*LIMITED EDITION BATCH - We made just over 10,000 bars of these Limited-Edition Black belt mummies. They are here for the season. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
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.
*Each bar comes in a collectible box designed by 3rd degree Jiu Jitsu Black belt, Sam Kressin.
Over the rainbow and across the Atlantic, we searched both near and far to harness the powerful ingredients worthy of our latest fungus fighting blend. The main ingredient of this batch, Niaouli Oil, is a direct relative of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree), and grows wild on the island of Madagascar. Characterized by it’s anti-fungal + anti-microbial properties, it is widely used for its ability in killing gram-positive bacteria. Next, from the island of Hawai’i aka “The Big Island”, we sourced a healthy amount of ‘Ohi’a Lehua White Honey, a very special variation only harvested in Hawai’i by small privately owned apiaries and produced in very limited quantities. The naturally high viscosity of the Honey helps to provide a protective barrier, preventing infection and further stimulating quick wound-healing. We then added yet another tier of antibacterial power with the addition of organic, California-grown Oregano oil and O’ahu-grown Kukui Nut oil (which also helps to rehydrate the skin). This is quickly followed up with a splash of fatty-acid rich, Almond Oil, which lends its sweet scent to the batch. Next, Aloe Vera Extract is infused to reduce inflammation while a generous pour of Champagne Extract is added, whose antioxidant richness has proven to be 20 to 50 times more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E. These Rainbow Warriors are finally rounded off with Menthol Crystals, designed to re-open pores and allow our bacteria fighting recipe inside to deep cleanse. Meanwhile, Crushed Rainbow Sea Sponge is sprinkled in to help exfoliate away any dead skin acquired during heavy training.
This translucent, tropical blue 10 oz. behemoth was inspired by the deep blue sea...and the 50+ foot giants that once regulated it. Each and every bar comes infused with a supercharged, organic, infection-fighting blend of Sea Buckthorn Oil, Australian Tea Tree Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, and Key Lime Oil (which also lends it’s fresh, citrusy scent to the batch). Each bar is also infused with Dead Sea Salt crumbles - highly regarded for it’s special ability to detoxify pores and remove any unwanted bacteria within. Next, we added a dash of a pirate-classic - Rum, distilled in the town of Koloa on the island of Kaua’i, for it’s strong, antiseptic properties. We then sprinkled in a handful of skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, Mugwort Root Powder, commonly harvested for it’s ability to neutralize Urushiol - the active ingredient in Poison Oak and Poison Ivy. The batch is finally rounded off with a healthy pour of organic, California-grown Avocado Oil, for it’s essential fatty-acids that help to moisturize skin, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the wound healing process. As they say, “The ground is our ocean”, and the “Mat-Megalodon” was created specifically to cleanse and protect us from the skin infections that can often come with the murky territory.

A powerful bacteria destroyer inspired by antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients found in the Northern hemisphere.
A trip to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in early 2018 led us to a Farmers Market (Marché Jean Talon) and subsequently a local soap bar that would inspire our latest After-Training Soap creation - “The Northern Knight Batch” - a powerful bacteria destroyer infused with antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients from the Northern hemisphere.
A “Maple Syrup Soap Bar” - coaxed our curiosity and further research would lead us to learning of the 54 compounds within the sweet substance containing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We’ve also added in two other sticky substances - Canadian Honey and Organic Pine Tar, whose piney scents and antiseptic properties paired well with the Pine needle oil we also sourced from Canada. Another major ingredient in this batch is fresh Dragon’s Blood Extract - a crimson resin (lending its color to the bar) that has been used to heal wounds, both internally and externally, since the 1600’s. We’ve also added in a 3-oil concoction of bacteria-killing Himalayan Cedar Wood, Phenol-charged Oregano, and our signature high-grade Australian Tea Tree. A mineral-rich Alaskan Glacial Mud was then blended in to pull impurities from the skin while Marshmallow Root crumbs were infused to both moisturize and exfoliate any dead skin acquired during heavy training. Winter is coming...
Other Active Natural Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Canadian Bee Honey, Australian Tea Tree Oil
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.
