Excited to announce the gis are on their way to us! This means they’ll likely arrive here while I am at Worlds with the crew in Vegas later this week. My shipping and fulfillment crew is on standby though, so this won’t delay shipping to you all! I know we are all very stoked to get ours, as I’m sure you are. In the meantime here’s a little preview of something we’re cooking up for the Devotion LA-Mission. More details to come when I return from Worlds!

Thrilled with how great these patches that Paul designed came out. These are coming free of charge to anyone who preordered a gi! The Destroyer patch is now available to everyone on our site! ORDER YOURS NOW

We had a great run guys 😂

Another night of covert ops at the hall.

Pre-order update: The gis are nearing completion! Here’s a first look at the black one. For orders that did not include a gi, your Darkthrone shirts and patches have all shipped. Send us a pic with yours when you get it!

With the gym closed for a multi-day deep cleaning, we had to dust off the mobile mats and set up some temporary digs.

Instagram just purged the Devotion account along with Paul’s, mine, and the Devotion backup - just FYI, we’ll keep posting updates for you here.

Travel to train: Paul is on the left coast to help Matthias as he gears up for his first run at Worlds as a brown belt. Devotion LA Mission was hand-built by Matthias and now serves as his primary training location (and a perfect spot for Paul’s tent as he enjoys the California weather). You can see more of the Mission in Track 6 of our ongoing Youtube series, “The Way” - WATCH HERE.

Preview of the Darkthrone shirt as it rolls off the line. These are heading our way soon and the gis are in production. We’ll keep you updated as the preorder gets fulfilled and your orders begin to ship out.

Matthias Waggener tosses a perfect game. Undefeated, 100% sub rate, double gold at the IBJJF Phoenix Open. Assaulting the IBJJF leaderboard and showing he is in peak form headed into his first Worlds at brown belt in September in Las Vegas.

If you preordered one of the new gis, you’re getting a free gift! Check out the art Paul did for the Destroyer patch. If you’ve subbed an opponent in a competition, sew it on! If not, hold on to it for when you do!

Two hours left y’all. Last reminder to get in on this preorder. Window closes at midnight eastern! SHOP NOW
