Bear Grips Pro ShopsCheap Combat Sports Team Apparel for BJJ, MMA, and Wrestling Programs
- Combat sports gyms can print team tees, shorts, and hoodies from $19.88 to $44.88 VIP base.
- Fight shorts, rash-guard-style tees, and hoodies are the three pieces most academies actually sell.
- No minimum order means a small academy can outfit a 15-person competition team without overbuying.
- This program covers branded apparel, not gis, official gear, or safety equipment, which stay with specialty suppliers.
BJJ academies, MMA gyms, wrestling programs, and karate or kickboxing dojos all run into the same budget question: how do you get the team looking unified without printing 30 shirts nobody asked for. The apparel side of a combat sports program (team tees, training shorts, hoodies) is one of the cheapest categories to build affordably, since these are standard garment types with no specialty safety requirements attached.
What This Covers, and What It Does Not
This is a guide to branded team apparel: tees, shorts, and hoodies with your academy or team logo. It does not cover gis, official competition-rated gear, or protective equipment like gloves and headgear, which should always come from a specialty combat sports supplier. Use a branded apparel program for everything a fighter or student wears outside the mat or ring: training tees, walkout hoodies, and casual team shorts.
Combat Sports Team Apparel Pieces and Prices

Budgeting for a Small Competition Team
A 15-person BJJ or wrestling competition team outfitted with one tee and one pair of mesh shorts each runs $700-$750 at VIP base ($19.88 tee + $26.88 shorts, times 15). No minimum order means an academy with 15 competitors is not forced to print 24 or 36 to hit a workable price, unlike most local screen print shops.
Design Ideas That Stay Simple and Cheap
- Academy logo, left chest. Single color keeps the design cheap to produce and reads clean on a tee or hoodie.
- Weight class or belt rank on the back. A simple text callout, no extra design fee.
- Team name across the shorts waistband. Common combat sports layout, works within the base price.
Growing Beyond the Starter Kit
Once the academy tee and shorts prove popular with students, add the Comfort Soft Hoodie at $36.88 VIP base for a walkout or cold-weather piece. See the full shorts and bottoms pricing guide or the hoodie budget guide for the next pieces to add, and set up the shop free at Bear Grips Pro Shops.
