  • Training with my father in the 1990s

    Practicing Aikido with a classic karate kid inspired headband 😎.

  • Earning my black belt in 2002

    Tying my new black belt with my father looking on.

My name is Christy and I started my Martial Arts journey at the age of 7 with my Dad. It has spun into a life long journey and ultimately helped create this Martial Arts gift shop! My years of Martial Arts practice help inspire the many the items you see in my shop today. My goal is to create products that celebrate martial arts milestones like earning a black belt, along with personalized gifts and humorous items that only a fellow martial artist could dream up. I love bringing joy and laughter both through my designs and on the mat.


I know the dedication it takes to achieve Black Belt and I take care in designing and hand making gifts to celebrate this accomplishment! It brings me joy every time I send out a hand custom ornament for a new black belt, knowing it was made with care from a black belt who understands the journey!

I hope you enjoy browsing around and feel free to message me with any special requests or questions!

    Walking between my cutting area, laser machine and desk. Surprisingly enough I do not wear my martial arts gi in the studio 😆 - just at the dojo!

  • Packing an order

    I personally write a note thanking each customer and congratulating the martial artists who have reached a new milestone in their journey.

  • Packing a larger shipment
