Stranglehold Apparel

Stranglehold Apparel is a family-owned small business based in North Branch, Minnesota, built on passion, precision, and pride. What started as a vision to create bold, battle-ready gear for martial artists has evolved into a full-service custom apparel brand serving athletes, teams, businesses, and communities across every arena.

We specialize in custom-designed apparel, DTF-printed garments, patches, and engravable accessories with no minimum order quantities and fast turnaround times — perfect for one-off gifts, team orders, or large-scale events. Whether you need martial arts uniforms and fight gear, branded team apparel, or custom designs for birthday parties, bachelor parties, tournaments, fundraisers, and corporate events, Stranglehold Apparel brings your vision to life with quality and care.

Every piece we produce reflects our core values: family, discipline, creativity, and commitment. We’re proud to support local gyms, small or large businesses, and individual customers with the same dedication we bring to our own craft — delivering apparel that looks sharp, feels great, and stands the test of time.

At Stranglehold Apparel, we believe your gear should tell your story. From the mats to the office, from fight night to family celebrations, we’re here to help you make your mark.

Owned and operated by Chuck and Brandy Kreitz

Stranglehold Apparel started in June of 2025 as a passion project between us, built around our love for martial arts and the community that comes with it. Our original focus was creating gear we’d actually want to wear on and off the mats. Since then, the business has grown to include custom work and office apparel, hats, and engravable accessories. Every order is handled with care, because this isn’t just our business — it’s our family’s name on it.
