Premium Private Label Studio
Your Academy Deserves
Gear That Sells Itself.
Pontis builds custom kimono and apparel programs for jiu jitsu academies. Your vision. Your brand. Factory direct.
Trusted by academies that take their brand seriously
The Opportunity
Gear Is Not An Expense.
It's A Revenue Stream.
Most academy owners treat gear as a cost. The ones building real businesses treat it as a program. Your students need kimonos on day one. Your competition team needs them for every tournament. Your members are walking billboards every time they step on the mat. You're either capturing it or leaving it on the table. We build the program that captures it.
What Separates Us From The Rest.
A Partner, Not A Vendor.
The Pontis Guarantee, any defective item gets replaced. No questions asked. When something goes wrong, we handle it. You don't chase factories. We do. That's the difference between a partner and a supplier.
Factory-Direct. No Middlemen.
After 20 years on the mat and every kimono brand in between, we found the best factory in jiu jitsu. Most technical. Most detailed. Highest quality. We work with them directly so your margins are real and your product shows it.
Built To Sell, Not Just Wear.
A great product sitting in a box doesn't make your academy money. We help you presell it, launch it, and sell through it. Inventory management, marketing, email, website. We stay behind the scenes so you can focus on your mats.
We Train Too.
We're practitioners and competitors, not consultants. We know how gear needs to fit, move, and hold up over hard trains. That experience is built into every product we touch.
What We Build
Everything Your Academy Needs Under One Roof.
Kimonos
Training and competition ready. IBJJF legal. 380–650 GSM. Custom embroidery, direct-to-fabric printing, and woven labels. Built to represent your academy on and off the mat.
Rashguards
No-gi and ranked promotion collections. Fully customizable design, fully sublimated with print that won't fade after a hundred washes. Your branding, built to last.
Training Shorts
No-gi training. Four-way stretch, reinforced seams, custom sublimation, optional lining. Gear your students will actually want to wear.
Apparel
Hoodies, tees, and hats. Not the standard blanks. Fashion-forward cuts and trending styles your members will wear outside the gym, not just on the mats. Core merch and seasonal drops that keep your academy top of mind.
Our Work
The Process
Six Steps. No Surprises.
Qualification Call
We learn your academy, goals, and timeline. If it's a fit, we move fast.
Design Session
You send your logo. We build the full tech pack. You approve before anything goes to production.
Pre-Order Campaign
Run a presale to fund production before you spend a dollar. We help you sell the order before it arrives.
Production
Factory-direct. We track everything. Nothing ships without your sign-off.
Launch & Sell-Through
We help you launch, promote, and sell through every unit. A great drop doesn't end at delivery.
Repeat & Scale
After two or three drops you're running an apparel program, not just placing gear orders.
