Venum is a clothing company founded in 2007 in Paris by two French entrepreneurs who had previously launched the first online store dedicated to martial arts and combat sports in France.
At that time, importing products from Brazil was complex, and Brazilian brands were not particularly innovative. This led them to create their own brand, manufacturing many of their products in Brazil and sponsoring prominent fighters of that era such as Jerome Lebanner (K-1, Hero’s), Marcus Aurelio and Denis Kang (Brazilian Top Team), Alexandre "Pequeno" Nogueira (Shooto and Cage Rage champion), Cyrille Diabate (France), and the popular Brazilian team Chute Boxe.
Initially, the brand focused mainly on MMA shorts and high-quality casual t-shirts and hoodies.
These design innovations, along with the team of sponsored athletes and the high quality of their products, quickly caught the attention of European customers. The brand soon experienced one of the fastest expansions ever seen in the MMA and BJJ market.
At that point, the brand started sponsoring a vast number of UFC fighters, including Wanderlei Silva, Jose Aldo, Lyoto Machida, Mauricio Shogun Rua, Carlos Condit, and many more.
Within a few years, it was already considered the leading global brand, and over time, it has solidified its position, especially in MMA.
A testament to this is that, since April 2021, Venum has been the official apparel provider for fighters in the world’s top promotion, UFC, as well as the leading promotion in Asia, ONE Championship.
The brand is also expanding significantly in boxing, with sponsorships such as Vasyl Lomachenko, and in Kickboxing/Muay Thai, sponsoring Petrosyan and the Enfusion organization.
Venum products are of excellent quality and feature innovative designs in MMA and BJJ apparel, with well-crafted and original graphic elements.
The brand produces a wide range of products, including both training equipment and casual wear: boxing gloves, MMA shorts, BJJ kimonos, t-shirts, hoodies, tracksuits, and more.
