About Sensei & Co.
Our Mission
At the heart of it..
We just want to create dope sh*t with passion and meaning.
We believe in a strong mindset, strong lifestyle. It's more than just what you are able to do, it's about who you are growing into in the process.
Our story is your story, we are chasing our oversized dreams and through our journey and message, we want to empower you to do the same.
Our strength is our community, every single one of you.
If you are new here, we hope you will come along with us on this journey in the beautiful struggle.
Always grateful, much love.
Vu & Andy.
Growth Mindset.
We believe that we all share a common thread. Strength comes from struggle, and through the struggle, we grow.
Our products are made to be worn inside and outside of the gym comfortably, whether you are lifting weights or chillin' with your squad.
We are proud that our designs come from being deeply rooted within the culture: standing right next to you in the gym wiping the sweat off our forehead, chalking up our hands, every rep and every set of the way.
We are here for all of you that are training to better yourselves everyday. Finding meaning in your pursuits, embracing the process.
It's a mindset, and it's a lifestyle for us.
Vu's Story
I started Snatch Sensei (@snatch_sensei) first as a personal brand for my weightlifting coaching and as a platform to add value through my passion for the strength sport.
My journey has spanned 12+ years now in coaching from CrossFit to Weightlifting to Boxing and all things strength and fitness in between. My why is to move with passion (and share it) and create an impact.
I have experienced first hand, as well as witnessed myself with my clients and people I have trained, so many transformations in mindset and confidence through the habit of just trying to better yourself.
Sensei & Co. is a creative outlet for me to bridge the gap between aesthetic street fashion and active/gym wear.
It's an extension of my passion and allows me to impact more people through the story we can tell in our designs.
Working on this has given me great purpose and seeing what I have created out in the world is always one of the coolest things for me.
Grateful for this journey.
Andy’s Story
Vu and I met at a weightlifting seminar in 2014. On the day that we met, Vu and I both hit a PB snatch of 100kg. It was a moment in time that would set our lives on this trajectory to eventually come back together with Sensei & Co.
Fast forward a few years, I was running my own Weightlifting and Strongman gym (raw barbell club), and both coaching and lifting at a national level. Vu and I had been competitive weightlifters together, and now we were also leaders and coaches within our communities.
We were excited by what we had been creating separately but found we kept coming together to collaborate on training days, competitions and other fun things that came up.
Eventually Vu started Sensei & Co. It was a little project where it felt like he was making stuff just for us. Our little community of lifters, CrossFitters and strength athletes.
The clothing was something that fit me well and felt good to wear. I had to be a part of it I joined Sensei and Co. in 2020 and it was the best decision ever.
I truly believe in our mission and message. Strength and growth is my passion.
I want to share that with others who get it.
Hope you love what we create!
