No-gi grappling trades the kimono for tight, snag-free gear that moves with you. Build your no-gi kit from rashguards, shorts, spats and singlets designed to breathe and stay put.
What do you wear for no-gi BJJ?
A rashguard on top, plus grappling shorts or spats (or both). Some competitors prefer a one-piece singlet.
Why fitted gear?
Loose clothing creates grips and tangles. Compression-fit gear removes those handles, protects the skin and helps with hygiene.

A rashguard on top with grappling shorts or spats (or both). Some athletes wear a one-piece singlet for competition.
Why is no-gi gear so tight?
Fitted, compression-style gear removes the grips and tangles that loose clothing creates, protects the skin, and improves hygiene.
Can I train no-gi in a t-shirt and shorts?
Many gyms allow it for casual training, but a rashguard and grappling shorts are safer, more hygienic, and required for most competitions.
What colors can I wear for no-gi competition?
Rules vary by event. IBJJF no-gi has specific color and rashguard requirements, so check your competition rules before buying.
Do I need spats for no-gi?
