Fighter’s Corner

This is my favorite place on the island to buy mma t shirts, sweaters, etc. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I never leave this place without buying anything. If you can’t decide what you want, they can help. Looking forward to going back. Mahalos to the staff there

This place is great to find gear for MMA. Mark is super knowledgable about what to look for, and was very relatable. My wife and I talked with Mark and he took care of me by having my try own several BJJ coats to see what fit best. As a beginner I didn’t have a baseline on what to look for, but Mark made it easy to find the proper Gi. They have high quality gear and at a great price. I look forward to coming back and also telling others about this place.

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Mark spent time with my husband and I on what to look for in a Gi. He allowed us to try on and explained each Gi for us, even how to wash them! We went not knowing what to get and left feeling like we were pros.
Parking is free and we found one quickly in the back of fighters corner, it looks like a small drive way right after the bus stop.
Mark’s knowledge will ease your mind on what to get, which is helpful for beginners.
Clean and very organized store.
Could park a bike, but make sure you lock it well because the area is sketch.
I will say that this store will be my go to store for any of my husband and I’s ju jitsu needs.

Nothing but good feed back for these guys they are super cool and don’t force u to buy what u dont want. Parking is in the back. I know internet prices are a little cheaper but I buy here cause I can try it in first and avoid mis sizing, :-)

Mark and the staff at Fighter’s Corner are always super helpful and a real blessing to the martial arts community in Hawaii. Also, I have a pair of the FC brand 16oz gloves and they are amazingly comfortable. Love these guys.

Stopped today and picked up a few kit items for training. Mark was not around but his lovely and pregnant wife was. Very helpful and kind service. Overall awesome place to be. A fighters play ground for sure.

This used to be my favorite spot for gear, and to this day, I still have nothing but good things to say about them.
They’re one of the originals… the pioneers of MMA apparel on the island. Nowadays, you got GNC, Razor, every other fitness club or global-​gym, and Sports Authority all trying to cash in on selling MMA gear. More power to the sport… but I’m a loyal fan of the ones who have been doing it since before it was trendy to do it. It’s really these guys and the old OTM guys (now operating HNL Fight Shop).
When I first started training at HMC, I think I showed up in Everlast gloves from Walmart or something. After a few weeks and countless unnecessary blisters, one of the guys from class put me onto this place. We walked here together after class. The owner of Fighter’s Corner seemed to know everybody from HMC and even hooked me up with a discount on a decent pair of gloves.
A few years later, I was training at Combat50; one of the guys from Combat50 also worked at Fighter’s Corner, so he always gave me the heads-​up when new gear would come in. So as you can tell from my examples… the guys here are very close to the MMA scene in Hawaii… and they have been for the past decade plus.
The only reason I had to go with a 4-​star instead of a 5-​star is because the very first time I started training jiu jitsu in the gi, I bought my gi from here. It was the «Fighter’s Corner» branded gi. When I sent it through the wash (and as with all my gi’s, I wash cold and hang dry)… that damn thing shrunk about 4 inches in each sleeve and equal parts in the width. It was so small I could barely keep the thing closed. I still wore the gi for the next year or two, but it was pretty bad. I can’t fully blame Fighter’s Corner because I’m sure they didn’t manufacture the gi. It’s fairly easy to order a completely blank gi online and throw your own patches on it, which is what I’m assuming they did. But the quality of whoever they ordered it from was definitely bottom shelf stuff… so I gotta dock them a star because it was still patched with their company name.

Biggest selection for MMA apparel in Hawaii.
Only bad thing is parking is hidden, but they do have in the rear.

First off, the parking situation blows. Never had a problem finding parking but u got to park in the back and it always looks super sketchy. Besides that this is the only place I shop for gear in HI. The customer service is amazing. When I bought my gi the sales people explained to me the pro and cons of each gi. When I decided to transition to MMA they allowed me to try on just about every piece of head protection and hand protection and foot protection they had. They showed me the proper wear to maximize the protection. They have an awesome selection of clothes there… mostly bad boy stuff. But they always have amazing specials where I end up buying a couple shirts or shorts even though I came in for a bacteria soap. Cool people. I’m going to buy a punching bag from there after the summer.

Fighter’s Corner impresses. It’s what every retail shop should aspire to: clean, orderly, well-​stocked with reasonably priced goods, and hecka knowledgeable owner and staff.
They know that most people get into MMA for fun and fitness like me and have stuff and helpful words for us. But they also have gear and advice for the hardcores who’re working to actually compete in a ring.
The shop’s biggest problem is an out of the way location on N. King Street near Aala Park and a severe lack of parking. The parking is right off King street but not easy to find. And the parking lot is torn up. The lot owner obviously doesn’t care about the parking which is too bad because it hurts the tenants ability to sell.
But hey, I’m not gonna end this review on a sour note. FC is a excellent shop. Great place for MMA gear and advice.

I looked up boxing gloves reviews and prices online, but none could determine what fit and felt good. As an average asian female, reviews online were mostly about male, experienced boxers and fighters. Mark, owner of Fighter’s corner encouraged me to come to the store and try their wide selection of brand name and store brand gloves. He let me use them on the mitt and explained the difference between the Title gel gloves vs «BAD BOY». I was surprised by the quality and feel of the BAD BOY gloves. I ended up buying the 10oz BAD BOY «thai» brand which fit (pun intended) «like a glove». I was expecting to buy 12 – 14 oz because I had no clue what really fits. I even tried the hand wrap with them and my expectations were again inaccurate.
I look forward to my long term use of these genuine leather, made to last, super light and comfortable gloves which will reduce the shoulder strain and hand fatigue I experienced with my cheap brand boxing gloves.
THANK YOU MARK FOR HELPING ME MAKE A GREAT PURCHASE ON GLOVES WHICH WILL PROTECT MY HANDS!

This became my one stop shop for fight gear now!!! The co-​owner (mark) was very helpful, he didn’t try to over sell me things like other shops do. He he gave me advice on gear that would suit my body type the best and it wasn’t the most expensive gear ether. Plus he gave me great advice on other martial arts I’ve been looking to go into (he’s a seasoned fighter as well not just a owner so he knows what he’s talking about). Soooo I would highly recommend this shop for any fighters whether you’re new to the game or your season fighter.

My husband and I started to build up a home gym and needed some mma gear to start training. We heard about this place from a sports authority employee because they didn’t have the kind of gloves my husband wanted.
It took us a while to find this place but with a little help from «Siri» we found the place! It’s right before Chinatown and there is some parking in the back. We walked in and were greeted and helped immediately. We were able to find the gloves my husband wanted and other gear he needed!
The staff there are hella awesome because my husband left his sunglasses and reminded us about it. They also did their best to help him look out for his lost ID that we were trying to find. We had an awesome experience here and this is definitely the place to go for your fighting gear.
SOME TIPS!!! Follow them on Instagram! @fighterscorner808
They have amazing deals to check out! :)

Great place! I went to the store in search of a new belt for my bjj gi. The store had a great selection of belts, gi’s, mma equipment, etc. The staff is what really made me give the store the 5 star rating. The two guys were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable! This is how a business should be run. I will definitely return in the future!

As other reviews have stated, Mark is super helpful and friendly. Both times I’ve gone in, he’s taken the time to explain the pros and cons of the equipment, give pointers on technique, and just talk story in general. When I was looking for shinguards, he busted out the pads, and let me blast a few kicks with the encouragement of a great training partner. I’ve been to some of the competitors, but they lack the selection that Fighter’s Corner has, and definitely can’t compete with the customer service. I even like the grittiness of the location, and feel that prices would probably go up if they moved to a «nicer» location.

Mark is extremely helpful and friendly. I came in looking for shorts and Mark was giving me advice and was knowledgeable about the product. I thought shorts were just shorts, but found out different.
If you’re new to martial arts or a seasoned practitioner, fighter’s corner is the place to go. Great service.

This is a great place to get your mma gear. They carry most of the top brands, badboy, fairtex, etc. They have everything you need for training, shinpads, headgear, gloves etc. They also have muay thai shorts and mma shirts (tapout, fokai etc.). I picked up my fight shorts here as well as some grappling gloves. Back home (Canada) it’s hard to find high end mma gear. I think they also carry some mma dvds. The guys who work there are pretty cool too, very nice and friendly.

Mark is very knowledgeable and possesses great customer service skills.
There is a reason why Fighter’s Corner, the first MMA product store in Hawaii, is still around while all of the others have closed up shop.

I needed new headgear for sparring. I headed into Fighters Corner, I was greeted and asked what I needed. I said headgear, Mark walked me over to the right area and help me find something that fit me just right.
The service was great, Mark was helpful and knowledgable. I’ve been to FC before and they have a good selection of gear for whatever combat sport you’re into.
I don’t wear them, but they have a pretty good selection of MMA shirts. They have a good selection of MMA shorts, Muay Thai shorts and Gi’s.
Overall the visit went great, In and out with what I needed in less than 10 mins.

The selection is good, but the store is small and doesn’t carry every single brand (namely Haysabusa), but has enough of a selection for you to buy good products to fit your needs. You can get boxing, kickboxing, and jujitsu stuff.
The prices are reasonable, considering that MMA gear is expensive in general and doesn’t really have any discount online unless it’s really junk. I would say the prices are about the same and saves you shipping costs.
The staff there is very helpful, and the owner helped me test on and try out every piece of boxing gloves and shin pads to fit my kickboxing class. The key was to find something that fits and feels good. I am satisfied with my equipment purchases and enjoying my kickboxing class as a result. Since I’m a big guy, I bought some badboy legacy shorts and they have been awesome during practice. Expensive, but worth every penny.
Located next to downtown in Kalihi, parking is around the corner in a narrow driveway that can be easily missed. There is a big sign on the store that tells you parking is around the corner. Park in the stalls marked (customer).
I would definitely shop here again if I need any MMA equipment.
