Hayabusa Fightwear: Powering the Next Generation of Canadian Martial Artists
Founded in 2006 in Kingston, Ontario, Hayabusa Fightwear has become a global icon in the world of combat sports. From UFC octagons to university gyms, Hayabusa’s name is synonymous with technical precision, innovation, and excellence. But behind the elite-level gear is a core philosophy rooted in continuous growth, for both athlete and community.
A Proud Canadian Legacy
While many martial arts brands operate globally, few have remained as authentically tied to their roots as Hayabusa. As a Canadian company, Hayabusa has not only elevated the standard of gear used by professionals worldwide, but also committed itself to supporting martial arts at every level across Canada.
​
Whether it’s through sponsoring local tournaments, investing in youth programs, or offering affordable gear through wholesale partnerships, Hayabusa consistently proves that its mission goes far beyond business — it's about building a stronger, more connected martial arts culture in Canada.

Partnership with CUJA: A Shared Vision for the Future
Hayabusa’s partnership with the Canadian Universities Jiu-Jitsu Association (CUJA) and its flagship event, the Canadian Universities Jiu-Jitsu Championship (CUJC), is more than just a sponsorship; it’s a statement. It represents a belief in student-driven leadership, grassroots sport development, and the importance of creating pathways for student-athletes to compete, learn, and grow.
As the official sponsor of the UFC’s BJJ League, Hayabusa brings serious prestige to this partnership.
Their support of CUJC — the first university-level Jiu-Jitsu championship in Canadian history — shows that they’re invested not only in elite competition, but in empowering the next generation of martial artists from the ground up.
Why It Matters?
In a sport like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where dedication, humility, and technique are the foundations of success, partnerships must be authentic. Hayabusa’s involvement with CUJC is exactly that: authentic, long-term, and driven by shared values.
They believe in building Canadian talent.
They see the value in student-led innovation are proud to be part of a movement that’s never been done before in Canada.
From the mats at clubs across the country, Hayabusa is helping shape what Canadian university BJJ can, and should look like.
