Krav Maga Worldwide apparel and Krav Maga Global clothing are organization-branded products. What your school actually needs is apparel branded with your specific school name and logo. Bear Grips Pro Shops gives krav maga studios a custom-branded online store with no minimum order, no inventory risk, and US printing and shipping built in.

The Difference Between Org Apparel and School-Specific Custom Gear

Krav Maga Worldwide and Krav Maga Global both sell branded merchandise through their own stores. Those products carry the organization logos and branding, which is appropriate for practitioners who want to show broad affiliation with the system or organization.

But your students are members of your school, not of a generic organization. They train at your facility, under your instructors, within your school culture. The gear they want to wear is gear that says your school name, carries your logo, and reflects your specific identity. Organization-branded apparel does not accomplish that.

Custom school apparel through Bear Grips Pro Shops addresses this gap: every product in your store carries your name, your branding, and your colors. Students who wear your gear outside the school are representing your school specifically, not an umbrella organization.

Why School-Specific Apparel Outperforms Generic Org Gear

Custom school apparel outperforms generic organization gear in school stores for a consistent reason: specificity drives purchase intent. A student buys a shirt because they want to show belonging to your school, not because they want to signal their discipline to strangers who will not recognize the brand anyway.

Several factors drive this dynamic:

What Custom Krav Maga Apparel Looks Like Through Bear Grips

A Bear Grips Pro Shop for a krav maga school typically includes three to eight products with the school logo applied in the studio's colors. Common configurations:

All of these products are available with no minimum order. Students order individually from your school's store link, pay at checkout, and receive the item shipped to their door in about a week. You earn a profit on every sale without touching inventory. See the full product range: krav maga merchandise store ideas.

Setting Up Your Custom Krav Maga School Store

Bear Grips Pro Shops setup takes 15 minutes for self-service. You sign up, upload your school logo or design, select products, and set prices. Your school gets a shareable URL that goes directly to your store.

For schools affiliated with Krav Maga Worldwide, KMG, or another major organization, you can still use the organization logo alongside your school-specific branding on custom products. Check your affiliation agreement for logo use rules, then build your store around your school's identity within those guidelines.

Three plan options: free (3 products, no monthly cost), Self-Service VIP at $59/month (200 products, lower base prices), or Done-For-You VIP at $109/month (full shop setup and monthly product updates by our team). See full setup: krav maga school apparel shop setup guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bear Grips affiliated with Krav Maga Worldwide or Krav Maga Global?

No. Bear Grips Pro Shops is an independent print-on-demand platform for fitness and martial arts schools. Your school gets a store branded with your own logo and name, not organization branding.

Can I use my organization logo on custom shirts if my school is KMW affiliated?

Check your affiliation agreement for logo use guidelines. Many organizations allow affiliated schools to use their logo in combination with school-specific branding on custom products. Your Bear Grips store can carry whatever design your affiliation allows.

How is custom school apparel better than buying from an organization store?

Custom school apparel carries your school name and logo, which builds belonging and retention specific to your school. You also earn profit on every sale. Organization store purchases generate no revenue for your school.
