Hygiene is very important to MMA practitioners, especially those who spend a lot of time grappling. With grappling, you are in close contact with training partners and the gym mat. As you may already know, this leads to a higher rate of contracting skin infections such as staph, ringworm, and even herpes. Amazing fighters like Forrest Griffin, Kevin Randleman, and Diego Sanchez have come close to having their careers cut short due to staph infections. Defense Soap is one of the few soaps that has been clinically proven to treat and prevent ringworm, impetigo, MRSA, and herpes. Defense is also made of 100% natural tea tree oil and Eucalyptus oil. MMAGearguide uses this soap almost exclusively and have not run into any problems while grappling several times a week. Defense Soap comes in bars, shower gel, and body wipes.
