Why judo is different

Gripping, Mat Contact and Dojo Sweat

Judo is a gripping sport built on close contact. Hands work the gi for a whole session, bodies meet the mat on every throw, and the dojo runs warm. That combination of sweat, friction and shared surfaces makes a steady hygiene routine part of good judo.

The kit below covers the two moments that matter most: a proper wash after training, and a rinse-free cleanse for the journey home or the shiai venue when a shower is not an option.

FAQ

Judo Hygiene Questions

How do judoka keep their hands and skin clean?

Clean hands before and after training protect your grips and your partners. Wash properly after each session, keep your gi clean and dry, and use a rinse-free cleanse when a shower is not available yet.

Soap or spray, which one do I actually need?

Both, ideally, because they do different jobs. The Athlete Soap Bar is your proper wash in the shower. Full Guard is a rinse-free cleanse for the moments you cannot shower yet, like the drive home or between matches. That is why we offer them together as a bundle.

Do I still need to shower if I use Full Guard?

Yes. Full Guard is a rinse-free skin cleanse for when a shower is not available, not a replacement for one. Shower as soon as you reasonably can, and use Full Guard to stay fresh in between.

Is Full Guard gentle enough to use every day?

Yes. It is a cosmetic spray formulated at a skin-friendly pH with no sting and no scent, designed for regular use on healthy skin.

How long does a bottle of Full Guard last?

A 150ml bottle usually lasts around two to three months with regular training. The three-bottle bundle works out at roughly six months of use for most people.

Are these products a treatment for skin infections?

No. Our soaps and sprays are registered cosmetics for keeping your skin clean and fresh. They are not medicines and are not intended to treat, prevent or cure any condition. If you have a specific skin concern, speak to a GP, pharmacist or dermatologist.
