The Essential No-Gi Gear Guide: Ranked Rashguards & Fight Shorts

Key Takeaways:

  • Ranked Rashguards are mandatory for IBJJF No-Gi tournaments.

  • Proper compression gear prevents mat burn and protects skin.

  • Gracie Master Gear offers spats and shorts designed for maximum mobility.


A ranked rashguard is a compression shirt worn for No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu that features a specific belt color (White, Blue, Purple, Brown, or Black) on at least 10% of the fabric to denote the athlete's skill level in accordance with competition regulations.

Why Wear a Rashguard?

Jiu-Jitsu is a high-contact sport. Skin infections are a real threat. A high-quality rashguard acts as a barrier. Furthermore, our GraciePro rashguards feature antimicrobial treatments  to keep you safe and smelling fresh.


The IBJJF No-Gi Uniform

If you plan to compete without the Gi, you cannot just wear a t-shirt.

  1. Ranked Rashguard: Must feature your belt color.

  2. Fight Shorts: Must not have zippers or pockets (fingers can get stuck).

  3. Spats: Optional for men (under shorts), but often required for women.

The Fit Factor

No-Gi gear must be tight but not restrictive. Loose fabric gives your opponent something to grab (which is illegal in No-Gi).

  • Waistband: Look for silicone grips to prevent shorts from sliding down.

  • Material: Polyester/Spandex blends provide the necessary stretch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I wear a rashguard under my Gi?

A: Yes, many practitioners wear rashguards under their Gi to prevent chafing and wick sweat.

Q: How do I wash my No-Gi gear?

A: Wash cold and hang dry. High heat can damage the elasticity of the spandex and peel the logos.
