Katagatame started with a simple observation from years of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: hygiene matters. After training, most of us would reach for whatever soap was available. Some products felt too harsh for frequent use, while others weren't something you'd specifically choose after spending hours on the mats. We wanted a soap that fit naturally into a post-training routine, simple, gentle, and made with carefully selected ingredients. What began as a personal project soon became Katagatame. Named after the classic the technique.
