Built for no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and constant movement. Inspired by Tex-Mex folklore, this design references the legend of El Cucuy—the stealthy boogeyman that demands patience, traps, and precision to catch. The fabric stays light. The fit stays secure.
This updated version features a new cut with an added underlayer for coverage, a slimmer thigh, and a shorter leg seam for a cleaner, competition-ready profile. The Velcro has been removed for a more consistent waistband feel with less “give.” If you prefer a relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up.
