Our Story

Our story started in 2019 when our founder, Danny Lewis set out his vision - to create an enterprise that would enable reinvestment into up and coming Jiu Jitsu talent.

As a black belt Jiu Jitsu practitioner himself, and someone who had faced his own struggles and blockages in his long journey, he really understood the importance of opening up opportunities and indiscriminately supporting as many well-deserving practitioners as he could.

Thanks to a small, but loyal group of followers and avid supporters, our Jiu Jitsu club went from strength to strength and we were finally able to start diversifying and turning the vision into some sort of reality. So our fight wear clothing range was born; a range that would not only deliver our awesome designs and great value for money, but fantastic quality too. (As we know, fight wear needs to withstand a bit of rough and tumble!).

Legend has it that one of our practitioners on the scene, (name not important here), was so driven, that he not only got the tap-out, but it was like he virtually took the soul from his opponent. He became known as ‘The SoulTaker’. And that is how the SoulTaker brand came to be!

Soul Taker Fight Wear was the key that opened the door to our sponsorship programme and the ability to reinvest in Jiu Jitsu athletes. Equality of opportunity was (and continues to be) at the heart of our brand. We offered our first sponsorship in 2020.

Since then, we are so proud to have supported and sponsored many athletes, with fight wear and competitions across the globe. You may have already seen our SoulTaker brand being worn on the World’s biggest Jiu Jitsu stages.

We are so thankful to everyone who has supported us, in supporting others on their individual journeys. Big thanks for choosing the SoulTaker brand and for creating opportunities for the next generation of athletes, for endorsing our values on equality of opportunity and for wearing your new awesome gear with pride. 

Osss!!
