About

Day By Day is a lifestyle brand for the every day jiu jitsu practitioner. The Path To Black Belt, DXD's motto, serves as a representation of your jiu jitsu journey. Our mark was created to inspire you to never stop training.

Started as a passion project in 2013, Day By Day was founded by two brown belt brothers, AJ & Tim, living in Hawai'i and San Diego respectively. Our vision was to create a brand where practitioners from all over the world could connect with and relate to the dedication and balance of living a jiu jitsu lifestyle.

Together, we held 30 years of combined experience of training in the gi. Applying this first hand knowledge we developed a top of the line gi with slick ambigram graphics and launched the start of our company.
