After emerging victorious from a heated match-up with Johnny Buck two weeks earlier, Team Consuul fighter Brett “Bedtime” Chism stepped into the octagon and went the distance against Dan “The Ghost” Keefe on Nov. 20 in Salem, N. H. The co-main event at Combat Zone 30 began tentatively, with both fighters feeling each other out with searching jabs and leg kicks. Midway through the first round, Keefe caught Chism with a hard overhand right, but Chism answered with an equally devastating left uppercut. Though Keefe kept throwing quick strikes and moving for most of the round, Chism made a late push, and both fighters exchanged fierce blows before the bell.
The fight’s pace picked up in Round 2, with Chism continuing to push forward early and landing a big right after absorbing several kicks from Keefe. After resisting several of Keefe’s attempts to shoot his legs and bring the fight to the mat, Chism drew blood from Keefe’s mouth and nose when he caught him across the face with a sweeping left hand, and then he landed a solid kick to Keefe’s head. He tried to follow this blow with more punching combinations, but Keefe pressed Chism back toward the fence and took him down to the mat. For about 45 seconds, Keefe hit Chism with a flurry of punches and elbows, but Chism maintained enough leverage from his back to avoid any knockout blows.
With the fight undecided, both fighters pressed hard at the outset of Round 3. They peppered each other with jabs, looking for an opening, and Keefe tried twice to bring the fight back to the floor. Chism resisted and landed several huge swings before Keefe’s third attempt found success, and he regained his position on top of Chism. Again, Chism avoided any serious damage despite a long series of punches to his face and ribs, and Keefe was unable to gain enough leverage for a fight-ending blow. In the closing seconds, both fighters pounded each other savagely, but the bell sent the fight to a decision. Though Keefe walked away victorious with a unanimous decision, his swollen left eye and bloodied mouth and nose bore witness to the fact that Chism fought him hard to the end.
In an interview a week after the match, Chism credited Dan Keefe for being tough and said both the fighters and the promoters were pleased with the performance they put on, although Chism still feels he should have walked away as the winner. Chism said his strategy of staying upright and striking was working well and frustrating Keefe until Round 2, when Chism’s booming kick to Keefe’s head actually dislocated his knee. “I don’t want to take anything away from him as a fighter, but his whole momentum changed after that injury slowed me down, and his confidence shot through the roof,” Chism said. “It popped back in at some point when we were on the ground, but I was a lot slower after.”
Still, Chism acknowledged Keefe as a top fighter from the North, and said he was looking forward to taking some down time in December after four tough fights in the last four months. “I’m gonna act my age a little bit, have some fun,” he said. Though Chism doesn’t have his next opponent scheduled yet, he said he will definitely fight again at Winter Heat on Jan. 30 in Valdosta, Ga. Everyone at Consuul would like to congratulate Brett “Bedtime” Chism for another excellent fight and wish him luck in Valdosta.
With 2010 on the horizon, Consuul has crushed its year end goals and continues to exceed expectations; Consuul is evolving from a simple print shop to full-service soft goods designer, producer, and shipment warehouse.
Consuul’s expanding capabilities have allowed the transition into printing for athletes and sports teams, as well as retail ready clothing lines.In addition, Consuul has had the opportunity to get involved with several companies in the action sports industry.
One of our valued customers is Mission, the world’s biggest roller hockey company.Mission has been the front runner in the industry over the last decade and continues to set the standard for stylish apparel.Over the last few years, we have had the privilege of working on their apparel line from conception to distribution.Mission has continued to break away from their competition and create an impact in the action sports industry.
Another company we have the privilege of working with, and that constantly exceeds what we thought was possible of a clothing line, is Forged.Forged was founded by two Navy SEALS on the values of Brotherhood, Respect and Freedom.They have created a unique culture and following by pushing the limits of custom printing and design.Forged is currently carried in over 80 stores across the nation, and the owners donate a percentage of every sale to military affiliated non-profit organizations.Forged is making a difference in the community and brings excitement to the Consuul Facilities.
With these new clients comes the opportunity for Consuul to grow, both in numbers and in talent.Consuul recently hired Max Putzulo (Print Engineer), Jonathan Alexander (Artist and Printer), and Andrew Walker (Graphic Designer).Also, with every passing day in the industry, our knowledge, experience, and drive are even further strengthened.One of Consuul’s new capabilities is the ability to import raw materials and export our finished products to distribution centers worldwide.
Consuul’s growth and presence in the industry has not gone unnoticed; recently, Consuul had the honor of being recognized as an ASI member with vertically integrated manufacturing, as well as finishing and logistics departments.These services have allowed us to make an even bigger impact with our clients, which in turn allows them to be at the forefront on their respective industries.
What 2010 will hold is still a mystery.As our capabilities and collective imaginations continue to grow, so do the limits of what Consuul can strive to accomplish.With so many possibilities, one thing is for certain; we will be working on the creation of our own clothing line.Consuul Clothing is a vertically integrated line for the action sports industry and is set to launch in Fall 2010.
After weeks of talking trash to one another, Brett "Bedtime" Chism and Johnny Buck went head to head this past Friday night. Once the fight began, Chism caught Buck with a huge right hand and smashed his nose wide open. As Chism continued to provide a massive beating in the first round, Buck gained some composure and began to muscle Chism into the ropes when the ref calls a time out because both fighters we covered in Buck's blood. The first round was won by Chism, but this fight was just beginning to heat up.
In the second round, as Buck drives Chism hard into the ropes they topple through onto the announcers table. As Rory Singer is yelling at both fighters to stop because he is actually calling the fight, Buck continues to punch him as the referee is trying to pull them both back in the ring. After about a 10
minute discussion with the commission and almost restarting the fighters again, the referee then officially calls a halt to the end of the fight.
The final call was Chism wins by Disqualification during the second mintue of Round 2.
Congratulations to Brett Chism
from everyone at Consuul and
good luck at your upcoming fight in New Hampshire!
As Consuul continues to expand into the action sports industry, the company is proud to announce professional mixed martial arts fighter Brett "Bedtime" Chism will be joining the team!

Each month, Consuul looks for ways to reach out and make a difference in our community. During the month of October, Consuul took part in raising awareness for the fight against College Hunger, Breast Cancer and supported the Becky’s House foundation. We believe that everyone has something to give back whether it be through their talents, giving time or financially. We try and send our message through t-shirts! We are a huge advocates and supporters of the Greek System at SDSU. As former greeks, we know when a group of talented young individuals get together for a greater good that amazing things can happen. This year the entire greek system raised money for Colleges Rock Hunger, a food drive on behalf of the San Diego Food Bank. Over 400 students bought the SDSU Greek Homecoming T-shirt and the event was a huge success. Special thanks to Jon Carbaugh and Misty for putting the event together and all the hard work they put into it.
On October 23, The Oceanside Fire Department raised money for Breast Cancer through a fun afternoon of drinking and eating at the Oceanside Ale Works Brewery. Everyone that volunteered to work the event wore a t-shirt and they also sold t-shirts to raise money for the cause. Overall, it was great afternoon spent with family and friends.
Every year the Alpha Chi Omega sorority puts on a philanthropy called Over The Line. All the Fraternities and sororities put in tons of community service hours and they raise money for a special cause. This year all the money raised went to the Becky’s House Foundation. Becky’s House provides women and families with the shelter and services they need to escape homelessness and domestic violence. Consuul has been a proud sponsor of this event for 3 years in a row and is already looking forward to next year’s festivities.
If you have an important event coming up that addresses important social issues and our looking for sponsors please do not hesitate to contact us. At Consuul we are always looking for new ways to make a difference.

We work hard to ensure our clients are getting the most "bang for your buck". While we offer the cheapest custom printed apparel in San Diego, we are always finding ways to give our customers a better deal. Here are a few different ideas on how you can cut costs on your next t-shirt order:
1. Print fewer colors in your custom logo or t-shirt design:
Every Color is another screen. The more colors the higher the printing price and more expensive the set-up costs.
2. Print Fewer Locations
3. Order Light Colored Garments- A darker garment is more expensive for the blank garment and has a higher printing price.
4. Order large quantities. When you order in any size at 12 or more you get dozen pricing . We also give price breaks for ordering in bulk: 24, 36, 75, 150, 225, 300, 375, 500, and 1000+. Anything over 1000+ pieces gets custom contract pricing.
5. The t-shirts themselves can be the most expensive part of the t-shirt order. Going with basic Gildan, Fruit of the Loom, and Hanes t-shirts are going to save you money.
6. Provide your own Graphic Design. Acceptable files in order of separation ease: AI, Adobe Photoshop(PSD 300 DPI Minimum), PDF, EPS, JPEG 300 dpi minimum.
We offer a free consultation with our artist and a charge of $25/per hour for graphic design.
7. Keep the Printing Size of the graphic design to 12x12.
