History
Combat Corner Professional began its journey March 11th, 2007, working out of a small shop just outside of Milwaukee, WI. Starting as retailer of combat sports equipment and apparel, LaSavage used this time to test the market and get familiar with the needs of his customers. [4] Once familiar with the market, LaSavage used his experience as a combat athlete to create and manufacture his own line of martial arts equipment. [5]In 2015, the company moved its headquarters to a larger location of over 10,000 sq feet in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. [6]In 2021, the company plans to move back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, doubling the size of its headquarters once again. [7]
