Safe MMA is proud to announce a new partnership with Combat Sports Hygiene (CSH), supporting its mission to raise awareness among martial artists and combat sport practitioners about skin hygiene and disease prevention.
Safe MMA, a charity led by voluntary medical professionals, is dedicated to safeguarding the health and well-being of MMA competitors.
Combat Sports Hygiene (CSH) was created by BJJ practitioners Eddie Bye and Jack Fullam after Eddie experienced firsthand the dangers of skin infections from training. What started as a personal health scare – requiring antibiotics and even keeping him from holding his newborn son – sparked a mission to protect athletes from similar risks.
Eddie realised that many in combat and contact sports can’t always shower before or after training, and many aren’t fully aware of the risks that come with that. Determined to find a solution, he developed a product designed to bridge that gap: one that helps defend against germs, reduces the chance of infection, and is safe for everyday use – pH balanced, gentle on the eyes, and effective. That vision became Combat Sports Hygiene.
Through this partnership, Safe MMA approves the use of CSH’s hygiene spray, developed to help protect against skin infections and accelerate recovery from cuts. Together, the two organisations will launch a joint educational campaign aimed at improving awareness of hygiene risks and best practice for gyms, fighters and the wider combat sports community.
Safe MMA commented: “It is in the spirit of Safe MMA’s founding value of ‘community’ to collaborate with all stakeholders in the mixed martial arts space who share our commitment to advancing athlete safety standards. We thank CSH for their donation to Safe MMA that will help fund our educational outreach initiatives, and for joining with us to educate athletes about the importance of good skin care.”
Eddie Bye of CSH commented: “As part of our journey, we’re proud to be giving back to grassroots athletes and continuing to make training environments cleaner, safer and infection-free”.
