We chose the name "Kuzusu" for our fight apparel company because it embodies the duality and depth of martial arts.

In Japanese, "Kuzusu" carries powerful meanings that resonate with the very essence of martial arts. On one hand, it translates to "to destroy," "to demolish," or "to unbalance"—words that capture the intensity and destructive capabilities that martial arts can unleash. This speaks to the raw power, precision, and aggression that every fighter strives to master.

But "Kuzusu" also means "to relax one’s pose," "to make oneself at ease," or "to break into a smile." This reminds us that martial arts isn’t just about power and technique; it’s also about balance, relaxation, and the joy of the journey. It’s a nod to the lighter side of training—the fun, the camaraderie, and the moments when you don’t take everything so seriously.

With deep roots in Japanese tradition, just like many martial arts, "Kuzusu" encapsulates the balance between intensity and ease, destruction and fun. At Kuzusu, we celebrate both sides of the martial arts journey—the fierce and the fun—with American made apparel that’s designed to support you through it all.
