Why Your BJJ Fingers Need More Than Tape

Ever finish a good roll and realize your hands look like you got jumped by a sarcophagus?

Yeah. Me too.

Actually, that was one of the first moments I knew I had to bring Dit Da Jow — Ferrox — into the world of modern contact athletes. I was driving home from a tough judo session, one eye on the road, the other on a finger that was rapidly turning into a bratwurst. All I could think about was getting home and slapping some jow on it.

That was the epiphany.

How many BJJ and judo folks do you see showing up with their fingers already wrapped like they're prepping for battle? Rhetorical question. We all know the drill — tape for joint support, injury prevention, stability. And sure, tape's great for holding things together…

But it doesn’t heal.

Enter Ferrox.

This stuff moves blood, reduces inflammation, eases swelling, and actually helps your fingers recover — not just survive. Drop some on your busted digits after training, give it a quick massage, let it dry then tape up.

Trust me — this is the way.
