What Combat Sports does
Combat Sports International (also branded Combat Sports and CSI) is a private e-commerce retailer of combat sports equipment, apparel and accessories, founded in 2005 and headquartered at 15850 West 108th St, Lenexa, Kansas. The company operates a single unified online storefront (combatsports.com) serving MMA gyms and academies, Muay Thai gyms, boxing clubs, kickboxing studios, schools and physical-education programs, government agencies, and individual fitness consumers. It functions as a one-stop supplier across multiple striking and grappling disciplines, carrying an extensive catalog spanning gloves (MMA, boxing, fitness, youth), heavy bags, protection gear, coaching equipment (Thai pads, punch mitts, shields, body protectors), conditioning equipment, apparel, and facility equipment such as MMA cages, boxing rings and flooring.
The business is a hardware/goods retailer rather than a technology company. Its platform is a standard Magento-style e-commerce site with product catalog pages, shopping cart, customer accounts, bundle deals and a Custom Shop for bespoke fabrication (championship belts, custom cages/rings and custom apparel, delivered under the affiliated Ringside brand). It merchandises both its own Combat Sports-branded products and established third-party brands including Fairtex, Ringside, Contender Fight Sports and Windy, giving it a wide assortment for full facility outfitting.
Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer online sales, supplemented by a wholesale/volume-pricing program for trainers, coaches and gym owners, a special government-agency purchasing program for agencies and contractors, and custom manufacturing services. Retail unit prices range from roughly $6.99 for accessories to over $2,000 for custom canvas ring covers and competition ring padding; wholesale and government pricing are quote-based via a named contact (Dennis Clauder, [email protected]). The company operates under the Combat Brands corporate umbrella (footer copyright "© Combat Brands"), ships internationally with a North American focus, and provides a Spanish-language storefront option. No external institutional funding or public-market signals are present in the data.
