Century Martial Arts is the world's largest martial arts equipment supplier. Our company was founded by Mike Dillard in 1976, operating out of Oklahoma City, OK, where our headquarters remain to this day. Century takes pride in delivering the finest martial arts uniforms, equipment, and fitness gear in the world. Many employees are martial artists themselves, who train independently and/or in the onsite classes in one of Century's three gyms. Employee martial artists also design and test many of the products we sell in their own training. If you have a martial arts need, Century can help you.
"Our mission at Century is to have every individual experience the many benefits of martial arts. This mission is based on our core belief that the martial arts can profoundly change lives. As a martial artist myself who has been teaching classes since 1969, I have seen this change in thousands of students who discover not only the physical benefits of the arts, but more importantly the intangible gifts of respect, discipline, confidence, integrity, and honor."
-Mike Dillard, CEO and Chairman
