ICONIC Athlete Program
Do you have what it takes to be ICONIC?
We’re building a select team of Jiu-Jitsu competitors who represent discipline, character, consistency and the relentless pursuit of becoming better.
- Medals get our attention.
- Character earns our respect.
- Consistency earns the opportunity.
The ICONIC Athlete Program
More than a sponsorship
ICONIC was created for athletes who refuse to settle for average.
We’re building a team of competitors who train with purpose, compete with courage, represent their academies with respect and continue pushing themselves regardless of the outcome.
Some ICONIC athletes will already be champions. Others will be athletes whose story is just beginning.
- You don't need thousands of followers.
- You don't need an undefeated record.
- You don't need to already be known.
You need discipline. Character. Consistency. And the drive to become something greater than you were yesterday.
Being sponsored isn't what makes you ICONIC. What you do with the opportunity does.
The standard
What makes an ICONIC athlete?
We’re not looking for perfect athletes. We’re looking for athletes committed to becoming better.
Competition
Test yourself.
ICONIC athletes aren’t afraid to compete, take risks and find out where they stand.
Consistency
Show up.
Talent gets attention. Consistency creates results. We want athletes who continue putting in the work.
Character
Represent something bigger.
How you treat opponents, referees, coaches, teammates and parents matters.
Growth
Keep evolving.
Winning matters — but learning, adapting and becoming better matters too.
Community
Lift others.
ICONIC athletes represent their academy, teammates and Jiu-Jitsu community with pride.
Content
Tell your story.
You don’t have to be an influencer. But you should be willing to authentically share your journey and represent ICONIC.
We don't sponsor followers. We sponsor athletes worth following.
You don't need
- 50,000 followers
- A black belt
- An undefeated record
- A famous academy
- A world championship
- Hundreds of medals
You do need
- Discipline
- Character
- Consistency
- Competitive drive
- Coachability
- Sportsmanship
- Commitment
- Potential
If that sounds like you, keep going.
