Product Information

To ensure your Gi does not restrict your leg movement and mobility during training it is important that the pants are not too tight.

Cups are not allowed in BJJ because they are made out of hard plastic which can cause serious injury to your training partner in certain positions. Their anatomically designed architecture, combined with state-of-the-art technology, results in the ideal blend. In addition, the architecture is very impressive and robust. Under your BJJ Gi you should wear a rash guard ( baselayer compression t-shirt) and appropriate underwear like sport boxer shorts, underwear or BJJ compression shorts. Because of the latter reasons, protecting your skin from chafing and abrasions, some schools will require you to wear suitable baselayers such as a rash guard and spats.I personally have only ever witnessed two people get accidentally hit in the groin during Jiu-Jitsu training. 3. Can You Wear Headgear in BJJ?

And for No-Gi, it is usually expected for students to wear a rash guard – not a cotton t-shirt. 6. Are There Belts in BJJ No-Gi & Do You Need To Wear One? Some BJJ schools will not promote you if you only train No-Gi, meaning they will require you to also train in the Gi to be eligible for belt promotions. Each gym’s mats are a little different. Your gym might have really soft mats, and rarely get mat burn. Yet other gyms have more course mats which scrape the skin off many a foot.

Grappling Socks – Worth It for Jiu Jitsu/MMA?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training is normally done in a Gi which is the traditional uniform for martial arts. Gi’s are available in many colors but the most common in BJJ is white or blue. For some people, shrinking a Gi is a good thing – for example, if you buy a Gi slightly too big and want to reduce its size to fit better. You can wear the WHOOP heart rate monitor in BJJ training if you want to get to know your body with 24/7 insights from WHOOP.

The main difference between gi and no-gi training is the type of clothing worn during training, with gi training involving a heavy, traditional uniform and no-gi training involving more lightweight, athletic clothing. Under IBJJF rules, the use of any protection made out of hard materials are banned because of the potential risk of injury they can cause to you and your training partner. Wearing a cup means this pressure forces the hard plastic cup into your opponent, potentially causing them injuries. The soles are made of flexible, stretchable Neoprene with a powerful traction at the heel to toe. The rubber GRIPPY texture ensures there is no chance of slipping. But this also depends on your personal preference, some people like their rash guards skin tight, while others feel more comfortable with a looser fitting one.Wearing headgear in these situations makes it much harder to pull your head out and therefore restricts your training and gives you a disadvantage. 4. Can You Wear Kneepads in BJJ?

A rash guard is a baselayer compression t-shirt which is worn in both No-Gi training, and also under the Gi in traditional Gi training. This allows for any shrinkage when you wash your Gi – meaning when you wash your Gi, your sleeves will shrink into the 5cm from wrist range. Gi Lapel/ Collar

Best Grappling Socks for 2020

In most traditional jiu jitsu classes, it is customary to train barefoot. This is because it allows for better grip and traction on the mat, as well as greater flexibility and mobility for your feet. However, headgear is much less commonly worn in BJJ than in wrestling because of a couple of reasons: Cups (also known as groin protectors) are not commonly used in BJJ, and in a lot of schools and competitions are banned. Likewise, under your Gi you can wear sport boxer shorts, underwear, BJJ branded compression shorts, or even long compression leggings known as spats.
