Story

Why does this website exist?

We are not capitalists.
We are not fashion designers.
We are not here to sell you glory.

We come from the forgotten parts of America.
Our families are from places classified as "The projects."
Good people who fought their way out by any means necessary.

My name is Darian, one of the leaders of this company/organization.
Like many, I joined the military.
I traveled the world.
I saw beauty.
I saw violence.
Then I came back home.

And what I found broke my heart.

Our young people are still stuck.
Same struggles.
Same broken systems.
Same stories, generation after generation.

So I chose a new path.
I train. I travel. I study martial arts.
Not for fame.
But to bring something back.

This brand is not concerned with hype.

Our kimonos won’t give you superpowers.
They won’t make you cool.
They won’t turn you into a patriot.

They are simply tools...and uniforms.

And every dollar we earn goes toward building a martial arts school.

A place for kids like us.
To learn how to think.
How to move.
How to solve problems without violence.

Jiu-jitsu is our language.
Our school is the code.

We believe all kids deserve better than war and cages.

We’re building that future.

One kimono at a time.
