Founded in 2001 by PM Tenore, RVCA (pronounced "roo-ka") is a culture-driven brand rooted in action sports and art. While not exclusively a grappling brand, RVCA has become a significant player in BJJ and MMA through strategic athlete partnerships, most notably with Eddie Bravo and the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu team. The brand merges technical performance with urban streetwear, featuring bold graphics, artist collaborations, and innovative fabrics. RVCA's grappling line includes compression rashguards, fight shorts with anti-microbial treatments, and moisture-wicking base layers designed for no-gi specialists. Their apparel targets style-conscious practitioners who value both gym performance and everyday wearability, emphasizing artistic expression through martial arts. RVCA sponsors elite competitors like Geo Martinez and supports major BJJ events, bridging action sports culture with combat athletics.
