The Fourth of July is right around the corner and it’s a big one this year.
July 4, 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. In other words, the United States of America is about to celebrate a huge milestone birthday. And AWMA and ProForce can help you get ready for the party.
Wether you’re spending this Independence Day at the gym or the BBQ, whether you’re watching fireworks or fights, we have the gear to help you celebrate in style.
From accessories to clothing to martial arts weapons, let’s look at how you can represent the stars and stripes with a martial arts twist.
Martial Arts Weapons
Colorful and flashy martial arts weapons designs can draw more attention to your techniques, show off your personal style, and improve your overall game. ProForce’s Stars and Stripes martial arts weapons come with all of the above benefits — with an extra dose of patriotism.
And they’re good looking enough to double as collectors’ items. So you can enjoy them even if you don’t train or compete with martial arts weapons.

AWMA® USA Karate Baseball Hat
Speaking of the USA’s contributions to fashion, the classic baseball cap design we know and love today was developed by a number of American baseball teams.

USA Flag Patches
A patch is a cool and affordable way to show off your patriotism. And it’s multipurpose. Patches are great for jackets, hats, bags, and more. If you train in a martial art that allows you to add personal touches to your martial arts uniform like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you can even add it to your gi.
