Rash Guards for Skin Protection
If you're into martial arts such as grappling, karate, Krav Mag, etc. you know you need to protect your skin from rashes, cuts and abrasions. Rash guard shirts can provide you the ultimate in skin protection especially when not using a gi.
Whether you are just learning a particular discipline of martial arts or if you are an experienced master and fighter you know that your skin can very easily get irritated from the constant friction caused by skin to skin and skin to mat contact. Since there is no hitting in grappling, skin to skin contact is almost constant between competitors. Our high quality rash guard shirts cover and protect your skin to prevent the constant skin to skin contact during grappling and eliminate skin irritation during fighting. Our shirts also will keep body hair from being pulled or caught during grappling, (especially arm and chest hair).
The best rash guards for providing the most coverage during grappling would be our long sleeve shirts. They're made from thin lycra and spandex materials so they're designed for comfort.

Our rash guard shirts come in a wide variety of colors, so you can match your belt color! They can be worn under a gi or instead of a gi to prevent skin irritation. We guarantee any fighter can find a rash guard shirt to suit their skin protection needs as well as looks.
Like we said: When grappling or participating in any martial arts, skin to skin friction is unavoidable without a quality rash guard shirt - so why wait?
