Respect Your Universe Inc. (RYU:CA)

RYU IS MADE FOR THOSE OF US WHO SEEK UNCHARTED TERRITORY. NEW LIMITS.

YOU EXPECT MORE FROM YOURSELF, SO IT’S ONLY NATURAL THAT YOU EXPECT MORE FROM YOUR GEAR. THE RYU ATHLETE TRAINS HARDER. PUSHES FURTHER. THAT’S WHY OUR PERFORMANCE AND LIFESTYLE APPAREL FEATURES SPECIALIZED FABRICS AND TECHNOLOGIES DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU FOCUSED ON THE TASK AT HAND.

JOURNEY TO THE COMPETITION.

In the beginning, a small group of friends got together to create the best martial arts performance short money could buy. They did it—not by dreaming up what could be—but by asking the elite athletes who would wear it what SHOULD be.

During this quest, we discovered a multi-dimensional athlete—one who redefines what is humanly possible. They live by an unspoken code—strength, honor, respect and sustainability. And from this way of life, RYU was born.
Today, every product we make stands up to the daily rigors of each athlete who wears RYU. It moves where it’s supposed to move, and when it needs to stay put, it does. It may wick. It may warm or cool. It's technical excellence. Recycled materials. It’s a high performance product line using specialized fabrics and construction with patented design innovations, because the warrior in all of us has demands.

REST YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

In the purest sense, a warrior trains to the point when they can take no more— then they come back tomorrow and push harder. RYU is made for those of us who seek uncharted territory. New limits.
In training, finding your limits is a measure of success. Redefining what is humanly possible. Pushing further every day. The RYU athlete trains harder. In response to this demand, we remain totally committed to creating a complete line of performance products that stand up where other brands take a seat. Failure is not an option. We exist to enable top athletes to focus on their discipline, not worry about their gear.

These symbols adorn our training gear, a constant reminder of the warrior's sacrifice and discipline
