History

Revgear was founded in 1996 by Paul Reavlin, a CPA and Krav Maga First Degree Black Belt, in Van Nuys, California. It began with three products: an innovative knuckle protector (now known as the MMA training glove) and two styles of kick and punch shields, including the curved version and the original five-sided Tombstone. Over time, the company grew its product range to include boxing and MMA gloves, shin guards, headgear, target pads, sparring gear, heavy bags, and more, while launching limited edition series like the Master Toddy Series and Revgear Combat Series. It has also developed media presence via Revgear Sports and events through Revgear University and competition leagues.
