The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


Looking for rashguards

I am looking for a few rashguards to bring for the trip. I think they will be much better to train no-gi in, compared to tshirts, since they are easier to wash and dry in a short time.

I don’t know which one to get though. If anyone out there have suggestions for what rashguards to get where, please let me know! If you would like to sponsor me some, please let me know as well ;)

    Scramble rashguards are awesome. Plus, it’s a euro brand so that’ll save you some money on shipping and all that.

    I have found that all rashguards are created equal, seriously. I prefer long sleeves just to safeguard against potentially skeezy unknown training partners.
    The only preference I really have is a minimal amount of silkscreening.

    I like my two Manto (the Tokyo one and the sky blue one) rashguards, but the stitching is weak.

    Although the Rupture one I have is decent material and very strongly stitched, the print came off quickly. They have since then changed their entire line and it is probably fixed.

    Of the two, I’d probably take the new Rupture, despite the sweeter graphics of the Manto.

    I’v been using Hayabusa for a couple of months. Works great, as you would expect a rashguard to do.

    Opt for a rashguard in the same color as your gi, if you want to use it under the gi. Then colortransfer from the gi won’t be a problem

    I second the vote for Scramble rashies. But if they’re not available in time, I also find UnderArmor to be excellent quality and quite inexpensive.

    I found Everlast rashguards to be pretty cheap, around USD20.

    Suggestion; don’t take too many; pick up some on the road as souvenirs.
