Please? :P

Just wondering if you could combine 2 flags? Korean and American in like a "Ying-Yang" Blend?....:p

[Tom Gavrilos]

Cool Idea for sure. Anything is possible but for now I think just making a Korean Flag is a better first step.

[Fox1s2]

Heh cool.....How could you forget the Korean Flag?...thats like Tae Kwon Do roots O.o

[Tom Gavrilos]

I know but there are SO MANY flags still to be made....Im trying to shift some focus to BJJ Shorts and Rash Guards right now.

[Fox1s2]

Yea, i gotta check out your website, see if theres anything i can pick up :)

although idk i if should, since i haven't been formally trained in BJJ, wearing their gear might be viewed wrong?

Not at all. Alot of people have never trained anything but wear Tapout shirts etc...
For me its all about respect and support of sport and in this case your country & even our Troops.

Just click the SHOP button at the top and tell me what ya think of the gear. Honest feedback is the best thing I could ever ask for!

[Fox1s2]

Well I've trained, but only in TKD so i'll give it a look....i can't seem to find the "tapout" shirts?

Feedback: Get some hoodies, My favortie piece of clothing almost, i'm ALWYS wearing a hoodie, and i'll definitely get2-3 of yours (tapout, maybe a BJJ, but def an american flag one)....Liking the car decal too :)

[Tom Gavrilos]

Really like the black one, does it have the American symbol on the back?

>.<....when are you gonna be getting more, i need an extra large, especially if there gonna shrink =/

[Tom Gavrilos]

No Logo on the back of the Black one.
And yeah XL is a good size for me Im 6'0 190lbs if that helps.

More hoodies most likely in the next month.
BJJ Belt Shorts, Rash Guards & Team Hammerhouse Gear first! :)
They are all almost done....

I have done a little BJJ but not enough to enter a tourney with high expectations. The only advantage I have is a wrestling background that helps with the grappling aspect like getting position, escapes and gaining points if doing a tourney. BUT even though I am not great at it I have the utmost respect for the sport and support it as much as I can. Respect goes a LONG way in martial arts.

They have different experience levels at tourneys. They'll match you by belt.

Do you have to have a belt or a team to enter tourneys or can you go in as an independant?

[GrCh35]

Good question. I'd have to say you can go in as an independant. But as far as the belt, you must have one, that's if your in Gi BJJ.

Thanks bro!
the first shorts coming out are actually BJJ Shorts.

They would solve your dilemna Ryan if you went to a NoGi MMA Tourney people would know your belt by your shorts!:)

Example if you are a Blue Belt

See, I thought you would have to be a "certified" belt through a gym/club. The reason I thought that is because I could technically be as good as a brown belt and grapple white or yellow. You know what I mean? What if Tom went to a store, bought a white belt and competed as such? I guess thats why I asked.

[crklyn408]

Lil bro, you never cease to amaze me. These are great in place of a gi, for those that still believe in wearing one.

Thanks!

Yeah its funny Drew Fickett has NO BELT and he is competeing at Abu Dhabi. Ge would just borrow a Blue or Purple and show up to tourneys and tap everyone out! :p

He so freakin good at taking peoples backs...its like an art within itself!
Im glad hes a part of my gym now.

[GrCh35]

The belt thing I say it's tricky. Realisticly how would you know where you rank with knowledge of BJJ or submission? The different belts are awarded to people based on there knowledge & performance of the different moves & escapes.

[Ryan]

Drew is a badass. I like watching him fight
