HalfSumo - Spats Kiichi Ibaraki

The legend of Ibaraki-Doji is one that is still passed down generation after generation in Japan till this day.  Half demon, half man, Ibaraki, was often depicted larger than life with wild hair, and superhuman strength, always wreaking havoc wherever he went.  This new nogi set is especially designed for all of us out there with a restless Ibaraki kind of soul.

Hard hitting like power chords coming from a heavy metal guitar yet sharp like the cold steel blade of a katana the new Kiichi “Ibaraki” no-gi set was designed in collaboration with the one and only Matthew "Kiichi" Heafy of acclaimed heavy metal bands Trivium and Ibaraki.

The new vale tudo inspired compression shorts can be worn independently while training no gi grappling, or can be used as a first layer of protection under classic length fight shorts or a Gi. 

We also used them successfully as an alternative to swimming trunks when at the pool or the beach. 

Premium 4-Way stretch fabric was used to insure unparalleled mobility when jogging, grappling or striking. The adjustable elastic waist features an internal drawstring for a comfortable yet firm fit necessary for all physical activity.
