The GR Pro Shop is growing again. After months of consideration (research and feedback from the academy members), Jason has signed a distributor deal with Badboy. Starting immediately Badboy shirts, shorts, and fight gear will be displayed along with the other carefully selected brands in the Pro Shop at the front desk
Badboy is a leading sport clothing brand, with a worldwide presence and long history of support for MMA and its athletes. Bad Boy won Best Technical Clothing Brand in the 2010 and 2011 World MMA Awards, and Best Lifestyle Clothing Brand in 2012. Bad Boy started in the early 1980s as a local surf and skate brand based in Southern California.
In the mid-90s Bad Boy began working with Rickson Gracie to put on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seminars which evolved in to a full-fledged Vale Tudo team featuring Wallid Ismail, Renzo Gracie, and Fernando Yamasaki. The team expanded by supporting young fighters in tournaments Like Mark Kerr and Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira before they made it to Pride or the UFC. Badboy became one of the first official sponsors of the UFC and their support of MMA athletes has continued to this day.
The first shipment arrives this week, and among the first arrivals will be several pair of GnP gloves, a special gift from Jason to the GR Pro Fighters on the Fight Team.
