Made by a Grappler.
Built for Life.
The Printing Grappler started where a lot of great ideas do—with a problem we wanted to solve.
As Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, we wanted better ways to track our progress, display our accomplishments, and carry a little piece of what we had earned with us. So we started designing and making our own products.
What began in a garage with a 3D printer, a stack of CAD files, and a passion for jiu-jitsu quickly became something bigger.
We started with rank trackers, belt tags, and merchandise made for the BJJ community. But as people saw what we were creating, the requests started expanding.
“Can you make one for my business?”
“Can you put our team logo on this?”
“Can you make something for our event?”
“Can you turn this idea into a product?”
And that is where The Printing Grappler really began to grow.
Today, we're building more than a collection of BJJ merchandise. We're building a custom printing and product business focused on helping people create, celebrate, promote, and personalize the things that matter to them.
That might mean a custom piece for a martial arts academy, branded products for a local business, personalized gifts for a family, team gear for a sports organization, promotional products for an event, or turning an idea you've had in your head into something you can actually hold in your hands.
We believe the things we make should mean something.
A belt represents years of work.
A business logo represents something you've built.
A team design represents the people you stand beside.
A personalized gift represents someone who matters to you.
A memorial piece represents a memory worth keeping.
A custom product can simply be something that makes you smile every time you see it.
Different products. Different people. Different reasons.
But they all have something in common: they mean something to someone.
That's what we want The Printing Grappler to be about.
Founded and operated by a U.S. Army veteran and active Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, the business is built around the same principles that have shaped our journey—discipline, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a commitment to always getting better.
We started on the mats, but we're not staying there.
The Printing Grappler is about the business you're building, the team you're part of, the people you love, the accomplishments you've earned, the ideas you've dreamed up, and the moments you want to remember.
If you can imagine it, we want to help you make it real.
From BJJ merchandise to business branding.
From personalized gifts to promotional products.
From team projects to one-of-a-kind creations.

Where we're headed.
Rank tags and keychains are just the beginning. We're rolling out sublimated drinkware, DTF and DTG apparel, laser-engraved displays, UV-printed coasters, and academy organization gear — with a growing custom catalog. If you can imagine it, we can probably print it. Tell us what's missing — that's usually how the next product gets made.
