Introducing the Ryu Backpack by Half Sumo—a bold creation inspired by dragon lore and designed for the modern martial artist. Crafted in striking red, this backpack is made from premium 450gsm Pearl Weave kimono material, paying homage to the timeless Gi while adding a fiery touch to your gear.

Every detail is a nod to strength and resilience, with intricate Irezumi-style dragon art and patches symbolizing power and transformation. Reinforced with heavy-duty 600D Nylon Cordura fabric at key points, it’s built to withstand rain, wet gym floors, and the demands of an active lifestyle.

The Ryu Backpack combines tradition and innovation, making it more than just a bag—it’s a tribute to the legends of the past and a companion for warriors of today. Carry your gear with pride and the spirit of the dragon.

We have chosen a two buckles system and an internal drawstring for a secure closure during traveling or any adventure; it will keep your contents safely inside, and any unwanted hands and fingers out.

An internal nylon lining was added to allow you to put used GIs and other sweaty training gear in this backpack without having it transpire uncomfortably on the outside. 

Following Half Sumo tradition we have professionally sublimated the water resistant nylon internal lining with hand drawn irezumi style drawings depicting samurai in battle and other bushido lore.

Colorful flat woven patches adorn this unique backpack, with some cool BJJ  references and easter eggs ( can you spot them all? ).

The patches are all with velcro backing so you can remove them all for a darker and cleaner overall look, or you can swap them around or add your own as you see fit, kind of cool right?

Zipper side pockets and a few other hidden pouches make for comfortable storage of water bottles, portable electronics and valuables without mixing it with your other training gear stored in the main compartment. 

The Kubi pearl weave bag can fit all your training or competition traveling needs. We were able to fit without any difficulty a kimono, a towel, a rashguard, shorts and even our opponents leg we collected during the fight. 

Easy to clean, the bag can be tossed in the wash after every use to get rid of any lingering smells.

IMPORTANT - Due to the nature of the red dye of the bag, please wash separately from all other clothing to avoid the color bleeding on other garments and possibly damaging them.
