Defense Soap

I bought this product recently when looking for mat cleaning products for our club.
Its basically an organic product, which includes Tea-Tree and Eucalyptus, that helps to prevent Ringworm and other bacterial nasties you might be unfortunate enough to pick up at training.
The Product comes in various solutions, from Soap, to wipes to Bottled containers. I chose the Soap. I ordered 8 bars for me and some of the lads to test out. you get a free soap container with 5 purchases and he also threw in some free shower-wipes as well.
The shipping was pretty quick ,5 days. And the contact for the soap was Guy Sako, who was pretty informative and can supply you with documentation and case studies ,regarding the product and its ingredients.

Personnaly , I think its not a bad idea to have some form of natural anti-bacterial product to use after training, rather than the regular shower Gel.
Just putting this out there if you might be looking for such a product.



cheers

On a serious note is ringworm a common problem in martial arts or something?

This soap is great, cleared up a bit of athlethes foot i had between my toes

The best thing about it has to be the slogan on the box

"Offense win matches, Defense keeps you on the mat"

Words to live by:D

Just on a note, on some of the questions above.
What can you clean your mat with.
You could use another product called KenClean plus http://www.kennedyindustries.com or germicidal mat cleaners like Cliff Keen products that come in small packs you can get them on amazon.com or wrestling product sites.
Is ringWorm common in martial arts
I'd say it is. Athletes foot is a form of ringworm. If your sharing pads, or gloves or not washing your mats, or worse not washing your GI, it can easily be picked up.

I thought athletes foot was a fungus?
