Our Story

“Built by grapplers. Powered by freedom.”

Athlete‑First, Always. We sponsor fighters without locking them into restrictive contracts—because warriors deserve freedom, not fine print.

How It Started

In 2019, our founder, Eric Bell, grew tired of gear that sucked and brands that took advantage of athletes. So he built Mat Viper — premium no‑gi apparel that lets fighters keep their independence and their percentage.

Where We're Going

Today, we co‑create gear with rising stars and world champions alike, reinvesting in local gyms, tournaments, and community programs. When you wear Mat Viper, you’re part of a movement that puts people over profit and passion over paywalls.
