Company Info

Hello & welcome to Pig-Gi's & Wear, otherwise known as PIGGIS. My name is Adrian Aguirre, founder of the company. I'm sure that by now most of you have seen our mascot, sensei piggi. If you haven't then keep your eyes open for a snarly pink pig, he's quite a character!!

In the last few years we have noticed huge changes in the martial arts and fitness worlds. Many people have started using martial arts as a form of "cardio” and many disciplines have become fused with one another while the schools of those disciplines have grown apart. At times this can become an inconvenience for the ones practicing the art or enjoying the fitness aspect. An example of this could be finding all the equipment needed to train at a reasonable price, in one place. So the pink pig (sensei piggi) said "we can do this!" As a result, in June of 2008 Pig-Gi's & Wear was founded to meet the demands, not of the art, but of the artist.

Having started my Judo experience since the early age of eight years, I've had the opportunity to have led some exceptional teams and have experienced four and a half years of international level competition at Texas A&M University. To better aid me in my judo I have taken other disciplines such as Tai Chi for leg strength and balance, Aikido to better understand levers and fulcrums, Muay Thai for physical fitness and recently Juijitsu to improve my ground game. At Texas A&M I was able to mix my love for martial arts with my education by obtaining my bachelors in science in the school of kinesiology. And while acquiring all this knowledge and experience it has definitely allowed me to notice something; what we do is fun, time consuming and expensive!!

So here at PIGGIS we want to make it simpler for you. We understand the sweat and sacrifice it takes to GET to practice, let alone the sweat and sacrifice IN practice! We want you to be able to find what you need in one place without sacrificing quality, further your education in the arts and gain the best competitive or fitness edge you can. To put it simply YOU are our main concern. We strive to do this by carrying the best products at an affordable price, leaving you to focus solely on your training or fitness.

We are of course starting small, but hope to grow quickly to accommodate all needs. To facilitate the growth process we developed the motto "if you want it we will try our hardest to get it." In time we hope to supply the fitness and martial arts community on an international level however to do so we really appreciate your feedback. Please email us with your needs or feel free to jump into our blog and post your feedback or question you may have. This will allows us to better adapt to the ever changing and growing martial arts and fitness communities and meet your needs efficiently.

At the end of the day (or your training session) myself, Belinda Sierra (our operations manager), or even sensei piggi (the pig likes to partake in the action) will be here to help with your fitness or martial arts needs. So keep us in mind when looking for equipment, gis, videos, books or advice on how to better your work out or training.

Look for us at your next tournament!!

PS… Sensei piggi says “Ippon”!
