Hey 👋 We're Cole and Dave,
Founders of Gold BJJ

Since 2016, we've been making gear for Jiu Jitsu athletes like you. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your journey.

About Gold BJJ

Gold BJJ was started in 2016 with the mission to create high quality Jiu Jitsu gear. We're located in the Bay Park neighborhood of San Diego, CA (here are directions to our HQ, where we offer order pickup and occasionally hold warehouse sales).

Our dedication to the sport and the community is reflected in the quality and workmanship of our products and our desire to continue to push the envelop in product design and development.

Why Choose Gold BJJ?

There are a ton of Jiu Jitsu brands out there that make great gear. Here's what makes us special:

Organized, Reliable Fulfillment

Ever been burned by a dropshipping company that took weeks to ship out your order? Yea, us too. We run our own warehouse (in San Diego, come say hi).

If you place an order on our website, our team personally picks, packs, and ships your order. More than 99% of orders go out within one business day.

We run a professional operation and generally just "have our &#%! together."

We Use and Stand Behind Our Gear

Our team is addicted to Jiu Jitsu. We designed our gear, and we know it inside-and-out. When there's some random feature that's bugging us, we fix it.

If for whatever reason you aren't 100% thrilled with your purchase, we'll make it right. We provide completely prepaid return labels, so if your order isn't perfect or you need to swap it out for a different size you aren't out a dime.

We Support Our Communities

We give back to both the Jiu Jitsu community, and our community at large. Whether it's donating gear to local police stations, holding free self defense seminars, or sponsoring athletes for Jiu Jitsu tournaments, giving back is a core value of our brand.

Military, law enforcement, and first responders are eligible for an industry leading 35% discount on all gear. Learn more about this program here.
