Athletes on the Mat is a French fightwear brand founded in 2013, offering a stylish range of equipment and apparel for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grappling, and MMA. Based in France and serving the wider European community, the company has built its reputation on combining functional performance gear with modern, fashion-conscious design. The brand’s catalog includes BJJ gis crafted with durable fabrics and reinforced construction, ensuring they can withstand both daily training and competition. In addition to kimonos, Athletes on the Mat provides a strong no-gi line with rashguards, shorts, and leggings, designed for flexibility, comfort, and resilience under pressure. Many of these products feature sleek, minimalist branding or bold graphics, giving athletes options that reflect different personal styles. Athletes on the Mat also produces lifestyle clothing such as hoodies, joggers, and t-shirts, helping practitioners carry their identity beyond the mats. Women’s sizes are an important part of the lineup, with tailored fits for female athletes who often face limited choices in combat sports apparel. By addressing inclusivity and style at the same time, the brand appeals to a broad spectrum of practitioners. Guided by the vision of supporting athletes “on and off the mat,” the company emphasizes community, creativity, and performance. After more than a decade in the industry, Athletes on the Mat has grown into a respected European label, offering a balance of reliability and contemporary design that makes it stand out in the global BJJ market.
