What does “Ranked” mean and why are the colours BJJ belt colours?

The Ranked series uses BJJ belt rank colours — Black, Blue, Purple, Brown, and White — so practitioners can wear the colour corresponding to their belt rank or simply choose a colourway they prefer. This connection to the BJJ ranking system gives the Ranked line a meaning beyond aesthetics and makes it a natural choice for practitioners who want their gear to reflect their journey in the art.

Short sleeve vs long sleeve — which should I choose for BJJ?

Short sleeve rash guards offer greater arm mobility and run cooler during live rolling rounds — the preferred choice for most no-gi competitors and hard training sessions. Long sleeve guards offer complete arm coverage and more skin protection during drilling. Most serious grapplers own both: short sleeve for rolling and competition, long sleeve for drilling-heavy sessions and mat-heavy training days.

Is the Ranked Short Sleeve legal for IBJJF competition?

Yes — the Ranked Short Sleeve Rash Guard is designed to meet standard competition requirements for no-gi BJJ including IBJJF events. It is available in IBJJF-compliant colourways including White, Black, and belt-rank colours. Always verify the specific competition's uniform regulations before competing, as requirements can vary between organizations and events.

How do I care for this rash guard?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect the print and extend garment life. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat — high heat degrades the compression fabric over time. Wash after every training session to prevent odour from developing and to maintain the anti-microbial properties of the fabric. Avoid fabric softeners, which can break down moisture-wicking performance.
