Combat Sports

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.

Direct peers

• Hayabusa Fightwear: Premium MMA and combat sports equipment brand with proprietary products in gloves, shin guards, and apparel. Comparable in targeting combat sports specialists and in offering both consumer and gym-focused assortments.
• Title Boxing: U.S.-based retailer and manufacturer of boxing, MMA, and kickboxing equipment with a strong DTC catalog and growing wholesale program. Directly comparable in product breadth across gloves, bags, and protection, and in serving both consumers and gyms.
• RDX Sports: UK-headquartered combat sports equipment brand selling globally through e-commerce and wholesale. Competes with CSI across MMA, boxing, and Muay Thai gloves, protection, and bags, with a similar multi-discipline catalog approach.
• Century Martial Arts: Long-established U.S. martial arts and combat sports equipment distributor covering karate, taekwondo, MMA, and boxing. Comparable in product breadth, school and academy wholesale programs, and multi-discipline catalog positioning.

Emerging players

• Bad Boy MMA: Combat sports brand selling gloves, apparel, and training gear through e-commerce and select retail. Comparable as a multi-discipline combat sports specialist targeting both consumers and gyms.

Broad incumbents

• Amazon: Dominant generalist marketplace that lists combat sports equipment from CSI's own brand and many of the same third-party brands (Fairtex, Contender). Compresses pricing and shipping expectations across CSI's core e-commerce channel.
• Dick's Sporting Goods: National sporting goods retailer carrying combat sports gloves, bags, and protection across physical stores and e-commerce. Competes on assortment breadth, in-store try-on, and omnichannel returns for the same consumer buyer.
• Everlast Worldwide: Iconic boxing and combat sports brand with a global multi-channel footprint spanning retail, wholesale, licensing, and apparel. Overlaps with CSI on boxing gloves, bags, and apparel, but operates at a much larger scale and broader category scope.
