Small-Business Spotlight: Supporting Local BJJ Gear Brands from PA
There’s More to Jiu-Jitsu Than the Mats
When you train at a high level, you start to care about more than just technique. You think about what you wear, how it performs, and what it represents.
At Movement Art, we care about all of that and we care about where it comes from.
Supporting small, local BJJ gear brands means investing in quality, creativity, and community. It’s a way of training with purpose—on and off the mats.
Why Local BJJ Brands Matter
We’ve all seen the big-name gis and rashguards. But some of the most thoughtful, stylish, and meaningful gear is being made by small operations—right here in Pennsylvania and the surrounding area.
Here’s why we’re proud to support them:
1. They Live the Lifestyle
These brands aren’t run by investors or marketing firms. They’re run by grapplers. People who train, compete, and understand what practitioners actually want from their gear.
2. They Prioritize Quality Over Hype
Many small brands focus on durability, clean design, and attention to detail. They’re not chasing trends—they’re making gear they’d want to wear themselves.
3. They Support the Local Scene
From sponsoring athletes to showing up at local events, small brands put their energy back into the jiu-jitsu community that built them.
Pennsylvania + Delaware Brands Worth Repping
🟢 Few Will Hunt (Philadelphia)
More than a brand—it’s a movement. Known for their bold, purpose-driven messaging and clean aesthetics, Few Will Hunt has become a staple in Philly’s BJJ and MMA scene.
They’ve sponsored athletes, run community events, and pushed a simple message: Earn Everything.
🔵 Subdue Jiu Jitsu (Delaware)
Based just across the PA border, Subdue Jiu Jitsu offers unique rashguards, tees, and gear with an understated aesthetic and a quietly confident vibe.
Their focus on clean designs and their deep roots in the East Coast grappling scene make them a perfect example of what makes small brands special.
Want to Support Local? Here’s How.
You don’t need to spend a fortune or buy a full competition kit. Supporting local can be as simple as:
Picking up a patch, rashguard, or tee from a nearby brand
Following them on Instagram and sharing your training photos in their gear
Repping local designs at your gym or next open mat
It’s a small move with a big impact.
Final Thoughts: Gear With Purpose
The next time you’re looking for a new rashguard or hoodie, think local. You’re not just buying gear—you’re investing in the community that’s helping jiu-jitsu grow in the region.
At Movement Art, we’ll keep repping brands that care about the same things we do: hard work, community, and showing up with purpose.
Train with us. Support local. Wear it with pride.
