A little bit about us and our products...

Warrior Grips started with the launch of our BJJ and MMA grip socks, but we now offer so much more and have big plans ahead!

The original socks were developed by leading Sports Podiatrist and experienced martial artist Sam Chidwick.

From BJJ to MMA, Judo to Submission Grappling, Warrior Grips socks are designed with your training in mind

Since developing the socks, we have also started to produce other products, from finger tape to health and hygiene bundles and we have digital courses and training materials launching later in 2024.

Our History

As a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, black belt in Karate, Personal trainer and Yogi, Sam has trained in many gyms, in many countries and on many different surfaces, and has picked up a few foot and ankle injuries along the way, from broken and dislocated toes to simple mat burn and arch/heel pain.

Sam has also worked as a Sports Podiatrist since 2008 and works with England Rugby, Team GB athletes and many other sports professionals on a daily basis.

Because of his own injuries, Sam started looking for a good sock or boot that could be worn for training BJJ. He found that many of the neoprene socks on the market get slippery if your feet sweat, and some of the brands out there just fall apart after a few tough sessions.

Disappointed with the offerings that were out there, he set about designing something new.

Six month later, the first samples of Warrior Grips were on his feet and getting tested... From rolling to running, weight lifting to yoga, Sam has tried to break, rip and tear the socks and get the grippers to peel off with use, and he has failed! He is finally happy with a manufacturer who understands what he wants, and a design that works and is up to the task.

The Warrior Grips brand developed along the way, as Sam is a founding member of Rune Martial Arts in Cheltenham, the Warrior ethos just worked from a Martial arts perspective and from a Yoga perspective.

Thank you for your support, and we would love you to be part of the Warrior Grips community.

We hope you love your Warrior Grips socks as much as we do!

"Since using the socks I have noticed an improvement with the pain around my feet and ankles, and this helps with my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They give me the support I need to continue with my sport with more ease". Katelyn R
