Tesshin was created by athletes, for athletes.
That isn't a slogan — it's the foundation of everything we do.
The brand was born on the mats, in daily training, under real pressure. Not in boardrooms or in marketing meetings. Every decision we make begins with a simple question:
"Does this serve the athlete?"
If the answer isn’t yes, it doesn’t make it into Tesshin.
What This Means
To us, athlete first means putting Jiu-Jitsu first.
We love our sport and want it to grow — that starts by ensuring athletes have the support they need to perform at the highest level.
Grapplers need equipment they can trust, not flashy money-grabs and overpriced products.
Gear that performs under pressure.
Gear that lasts.
Gear that supports training instead of distracting from it.
That is why Tesshin exists.
Built From The Community
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Hong Kong has grown rapidly — tighter communities, stronger competition, higher standards. What was once niche is now a serious sport with dedicated athletes training year-round.
This growth is happening everywhere; across Asia, across Europe, across the world.
As the sport evolves, so do its athletes. They train more frequently. They compete more often. They demand more from themselves — and from the brands that represent them and their sport.
Tesshin was created directly inside that growth, not on the sidelines of it.
We listen to athletes because we are athletes. The feedback doesn’t come from focus groups — it comes from competitors, training partners, teammates, coaches. From competition mats. From real rounds, in real gyms, under real conditions.
More Than Customers
We don’t want to simply attract customers. We want to grow a team of grapplers who respect the process; athletes that share our love and dedication to Jiu-Jitsu, grappling, and growth.
A community bound by the same discomfort, pressure, and mutual respect. No matter where you train, the experience is universal — the same sweat, the same exhaustion, the same quiet understanding after a hard round.
When we wear Tesshin, we want it to feel like we're wearing a signal — that we value effort over image, substance over noise, discipline over convenience.
Growing Our Sport The Right Way
As Jiu-Jitsu continues to grow in legitimacy, professionalism, and global reach, we believe the responsibility of brands grows with it.
By putting the athlete first, we're:
- Supporting progress, not exploiting trends
- Elevating standards, not diluting them
- Building for longevity, not short-term attention
The future of the sport belongs to those who respect the process — the athletes who train consistently, and the brands that stand behind them.
This Is Our Commitment
Tesshin was created to serve the sport and support the athletes who respect it.
Those who choose discipline over comfort.
Those who return to the mats day after day.
Those who understand that growth is earned, not given.
We are committed to the athlete — not just as long as the sport is popular, but as long as the work continues.
Athlete first. Jiu-Jitsu first.
- TESSHIN.
