BJJ soap

Recently, there are a few companies that are offering anti bactorial soap for BJJ after training. The arm bar soaps are pretty cool and have interesting scents. The one I tried had coconut and acai flavor. http://www.armbarsoap.com/products.html Some other interesting links http://www.killerbeegi.com/bjj-gear/bjj-body-soap/ http://grounderssoap.com/products/eucalyptus-hemp-tea-tree-oil-infused-soap http://www.defensesoap.com/ https://www.etsy.com/listing/234875059/sandalwood-bjj-soap-ufc-mma-sports-mens http://www.aftermat.com/scrub-soap http://ideepure.com/product/athletebar/?v=79cba1185463

BJJ etiquette

When you enter the mats, shake the hands of everyone. We run a pretty relax dojo, we understand if you come late to training. Just enter the mats and get changed quickly. You do not need to ask permission to enter or leave the mats. Please do not talk loudly during the technical lesson as the instructor needs everyone attention Try to keep the chit chat to a minimum especially during rolling. Give time for your training partners to tap In case, you train with a beginner and he/she does not tap to a submission, just release as it could be dangerous and they do not know any better. No shoes on the mats your shoes should be facing the street and not the dojo. no water bottles inside the dojo and the changing room. Please dispose of your fingers tapes in the rubbish bin. The beginners have to be on cleaning duties (empty rubbish bin, sweep, mop etc.) Wash your gi all the time. Trim your nails, brush your teeth if you have bad breath. Do not brag or celebrate when submitting ...
