A lot of history and thoughtful design went into these rash guards.

The Kanagawa wave is a traditional Japanese motif and is strongly associated with martial arts. It represents the connection to nature and the powerful, almost insurmountable forces that arise from natural movement.

It reminds us of and honors the deep history of martial arts. However, it moves forward, does not dwell in the old, but is open, changeable and adaptable.

This wave and the principle of natural flowing movement are abstractly reflected in the design of the entire rash guard.

It is supported by many individual elements, all of which work together to create something great, just as they do in a good martial arts school.

The symbol of the wave in the middle of the back does not arise out of nothing, but from the clear framing structure of the triangle.

Energy without rules and without structure leads to chaos; it must be well thought out and directed. The lower point of the triangle symbolizes the vision and work of the founder of the martial arts school, who set meaningful rules, order, and direction so that everyone who embarks on the path of martial arts can train safely, without injury, and effectively. He gave the impetus to the wave, which, with the help of all those who are now also learning or teaching, unfolds upwards.

The inscriptions on the arms "We flow, we crush" are based on the famous Bruce Lee quote: *Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.* It represents the ability of a martial artist to flexibly adapt to any situation in life and to consciously control both softness and hardness.

For Dragon Ball and Last Airbender fans, there are also a few hidden Easter eggs on the rash guard.
