Split knuckle. Raw elbow. Burn down the shin.
That's a normal Tuesday in the cage. Chey trains the next morning anyway, and the way she does it is less about toughness than about what goes on her skin after the session. The Boss Bundle is her whole kit, rashguard and Split+ included. Split+ whipped balm feeds the recovery.
Nobody is harder on their skin than a grappler.
Climbers gave us the splits. Fighters gave us everything else: mat burn on the elbows and knees, knuckles that open on the heavy bag and never get a week off, shins rubbed raw under a wrap, and a skin check every time you step on a mat. Chey Bowers won the LFA flyweight title with a first-round armbar and now fights in the PFL. She trains at Next Edge Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which means two sessions a day, most days, and no such thing as waiting for a scrape to close.
Her routine is the one we'd give any grappler. Wash the mat off before it turns into something. Condition the skin every night so it bends instead of cracking. Put Split+ on whatever actually opened, because that's the bottle built for broken skin. Then look after the forearms and fingers that did the gripping. Wash, condition, Split+, recover. Then train in the morning.
What did the session leave you with?
Four things every grappler, striker and wrestler deals with. Each one has an answer in the box.
Split knuckles
Cracks across the knuckle that reopen on the bag, the gi, the next handshake.
Split+ whipped balm at night. It's the one Rhino bottle made for skin that has already broken. Split Stick in the bag for the middle of the day.
Split+
SplitMat burn
Elbows, knees and the tops of your feet, rubbed raw and stinging in the shower.
Cleanse the second you come off the mat. Repair that night. Split+ on anything that's past raw and into open.
Cleanse
RepairSore and stuck
Forearms that won't unclench, grip that's gone by the second round, fingers that ache from collar ties.
Massage Cream on forearms and hands after the session. Roll the ring over tired fingers while you watch film.
Massage Cream
Acupressure Massage RingSun and water
Open-mat outside, surf days, pool recovery. Skin that's already beat up burns faster.

Rashguard on. Tape anything that opened yesterday so it stays closed through the round.

Before you add it.
What's the difference between Repair and Split+?
Repair is the nightly cream for the whole hand and anywhere the mat rubbed. Split+ is a thick whipped balm for the spots that have gone past raw: knuckles, mat burn that went deep, heels. Both are in the box at full 3.4 oz size.
Will this pass a skin check?
Clean skin that's been washed and conditioned looks like clean skin. Cleanse is a spray-on, wipe-off wash for right after rolling when a shower is still forty minutes away. The faster you get the mat off, the less there is to check.
How do I pick a rashguard size?
Pick your variant below: women's, men's or kids', then size, then short or long sleeve. The size chart is on the rashguard page. Flat seams, so it doesn't rub under a gi or on the mat.
What's not in it?
No synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers, parabens, phthalates or BPA. Formulated by a pharmacist, built by a chef, made in our own facility in Redmond, Oregon on 100% on-site solar.
