Grappling is a tough sport, and you have to be tough to be able to do it year in and year out. Not surprisingly, most of the gear out there screams out 'I'm a badass!'. The origination of Nogi Industries is to make quality grappling gear; by people that train and for people that train. We here at Nogi believe that all of our products perform well in training and are still stylish and low-key enough to wear outside the gym. UFC and Pride Fighter Chris Brennan started the brand in 2003, and through his use (and abuse!) of the gear, we here at Nogi Industries are confident that we have a quality product that will stand the test of time and look good while doing it. Now in 2009, Nogi has pushed the boundaries yet again with new designs, new gear, and a renewed commitment to providing the right gear for a tough job; capable of taking a beating, and giving one too.
