I've ordered a lot of stuff from Fokai, and they're consistently my favorite fight wear company. Too bad they've disappeared -- www.fokaidamashii.com is down.

Anyone know what happened, or where else to buy their gear?

Thanks.
 
They took the store down a while back... on their blog in October or so they said they'd be releasing some new stuff soon and I haven't heard anything since.
 
When Dynasty went to Brazil they went out of business.
 
try to see if you can find their stuff from on the mat. I know they sell fokai shirts in the OTM retail stores.
 
that's what I've been saying foz!
well, the not liking money part, not sure about the other.
cost of website development (not even the fancy shit they've done) is waaaay lower than what they're losing every day for lack of a store.
 
I'm hoping that they make a comeback this year :)! .......I like the look of their stuff
 
I don't quite get it either... to me, they had all the momentum going their way right after TUF premiered with Dana White wearing their shirts. All of a sudden Fokai is generating buzz... they started coming out with some really cool designs, some of which we couldn't keep on the shelves and were hard for them to keep up with as well. We certainly gave them some good orders and we were lining up to continue adding new designs.

Then all of a sudden they take their site down, no new designs, so we've just re-ordered old ones while we awaited their return. Now that you point out their site is gone, we will probably just drop them once we run out of stock which is really unfortunate. I was a big fan too, so I'm not sure what's up... but fortunately Throwdown and Sinister (new to us) are putting out some really unique styles if you haven't checked them out yet.

RedDog - any more details on what you meant by "When Dynasty went to Brazil they went out of business."?

Update 3:33 ET: Apparently my wife did touch base with them a few weeks back and they are completely sold out due to the holidays and are planning all new designs slated for February. Guess we'll wait and see.

Hope they get back on their feet. Their stuff is/was pretty sharp....



Maybe someone who knows the workings of the "Ask a Fighter" forum should ask Enson what's up. Hope this doesn't effect Enson's Purebred gym's as I wanted to go to one some day.


Prayers are with Enson, his family and his business.

I was just joking. he's always been a downass supporter of them. even customizing his shorts with a fokai logo.

u said that months ago brent :P

~Foz

Im in the same boat as you guys I want to get some new gear, I don't know whats going on..Fokai is such a cool bunch of guys that they arn't concerned with making a bunch of money I guess thats why there site has been down. FOKAI.TV is a really cool site but I don't think they sell gear on it yet.

If you know a friend in Guam or Japan you might be able to get your hands on some Fokai or Purebred gear but other then that right now it's hard to get.
 
I emailed Rich on myspace and he said it'd be up soon...but we've all heard that before. I think Rich, who does Fokai Hawaii, is busy putting together an MMA event. Therefore he doesn't have time to produce...
