Dustin Kawa, a former Championship D-I wrestler turned ambitious apparel entrepreneur - started Takedown almost two decades ago with a few hundred dollars and a vision. As an athlete designing for athletes, Kawa instinctively recognized the need and hunger of the wrestling community, so he decided to launch a brand designing apparel and gear that could take them from sport to street and anywhere in between without sacrificing style or functionality.

Our mission is to inspire confidence by elevating and empowering athletes and athletes at heart - through experience, style, and function.
