At ERYXGEAR, grassroots MMA is where we started, and it's still what drives everything we build. That's why we're proud to announce a new three-year partnership with the English Mixed Martial Arts Association (EMMAA), making ERYXGEAR the official training kit partner for Team England.
A Grassroots MMA Brand Stepping Onto the National Stage
ERYXGEAR was built inside the grassroots MMA scene, not around it. Since launching in 2020, our growth has come from gyms, local shows, and grassroots sponsorships; the same foundations that shape every fighter before the bright lights. That grassroots-first mindset is the thread connecting our earliest sponsorships to this new national partnership with Team England.
Today, ERYXGEAR training kit and fight wear is worn by athletes competing across Cage Warriors, ARES, the PFL and the UFC. But no matter how far our reach extends, our identity as a grassroots MMA training kit brand stays exactly the same.
What the EMMAA Partnership Means for Team England
Starting later this year, ERYXGEAR will design and supply training kit for Team England's adult squad, with a dedicated Youth training kit range following in year two of the partnership. Beyond kit, young athletes will also get the chance to win ERYXGEAR training gear through EMMAA-run athlete competitions; a direct extension of our commitment to grassroots MMA development in England.
For us, this isn't just about outfitting a national squad. It's about investing in the pipeline of young grassroots MMA talent that will one day represent England on the biggest stages in the sport.
Why Grassroots MMA Is Core to the ERYXGEAR Brand
Every fighter starts on a grassroots MMA training kit, in a local gym, long before any titles or televised walkouts. We built ERYXGEAR to serve that stage of the journey properly — durable, high-performance training apparel designed for the grind, not just the highlight reel.
Partnering with EMMAA and Team England lets us support grassroots MMA athletes at a national level while staying true to the community roots that built this brand. It's the next step in a mission that hasn't changed since day one: back grassroots MMA, and the sport grows from the ground up.
What's Next
Full details of the first-ever ERYXGEAR x Team England training kit will be revealed in the coming months. Follow ERYXGEAR for updates as we continue building training kit for every level of the sport, from grassroots MMA gyms to the national squad.
