THE ORIGIN STORY

Meet the Founder

Hey I'm Pat Peterson, Founder of Choju.

My jiu jitsu journey started in 2012, and I've been obsessed ever since.

If you've ever trained, you know how hard the "gentle art" can be on your body. 

But once you start rolling, there's no turning back.

What starts as a fun hobby quickly becomes an obsession.

So you train and train, and while your skills improve, your body takes a beating.

Injuries pile up, and you start wondering how much longer you can keep going.

At least that’s what happened to me which is why I created Choju—a brand dedicated to helping athletes & hobbyists stay on the mats as long as possible.
