Introducing Combat Essentials

Born From the Mats, Built for Martial Artists

Combat Essentials is a UK-based martial arts shop and supplier of martial arts uniforms, combat sports equipment, and stage combat gear – trusted by fighters, stunt performers, and production teams across the UK.

From boxing gloves and Muay Thai shorts to training swords, blunt weapons, and safety gear for film and theatre, we've got the essentials to keep you ready – on the mats, in the ring, or on set.

👊 Train hard. Look sharp. Stay protected.

Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners

At Combat Essentials, we're more than just another online martial arts store – we're a brand built on real experience. Founded by two lifelong martial artists, Bence and Gareth, our mission is simple:

To bring high-quality, trusted combat sports gear to those who live and breathe the grind.

Between us, we've spent decades training across disciplines – from the heavy grips of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the striking precision of Muay Thai and MMA. We've felt first-hand how the right gear can build confidence, enhance performance, and elevate your training – and how the wrong gear can hold you back.

That's why we created Combat Essentials: a curated range of tested, durable equipment from brands we actually use and trust.

No Gimmicks. Just Quality.

We don't sell what we wouldn't train with ourselves. Whether you're a complete beginner walking into your first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, a stunt performer rehearsing your next scene, or a seasoned fighter chasing competition gold, you'll find equipment that meets your standards – not just your budget.

We proudly stock some of the most respected names in combat sports, including:

Real Gear for Real Training

From BJJ gis, rashguards, and belts to boxing gloves, pads, protective gear, and martial arts clothing, everything we stock is designed to perform where it matters most – on the mats, in the cage, or in the gym.

We're also expanding our range for the stage combat and performance community, offering training swords, blunt weapons, and safety gear for theatre and film – trusted by production teams across the UK.

It's early days for us, but we're growing fast – adding new brands, gear, and ideas based on what we and our community are training with right now. If we wouldn't wear it, punch with it, or roll in it – it doesn't make the cut.

The Combat Essentials Promise

We believe in authenticity over hype. We're not a faceless retailer – we're part of the same community you are. We train. We sweat. We care about getting it right.

So whether you're upgrading your gi, buying your first pair of boxing gloves, or kitting out for stage combat, we're here to help with honest advice and gear that performs.

Welcome to Combat Essentials – your home for martial arts equipment that works as hard as you do.
