Why do MMA competitors wear compression shirts?

Compression shirts reduce muscle oscillation during strikes and kicks (decreasing fatigue), improve proprioception (body position awareness), and provide a layer of skin protection during grappling. In IMMAF competition, approved rash guards and compression tops are part of the standardised kit required for fighters.

What does IMMAF approval mean for competition apparel?

IMMAF (International Mixed Martial Arts Federation) approval certifies that the apparel meets specifications required for use in sanctioned amateur MMA competition — including material, construction, and colourway standards. Fighters competing in IMMAF-affiliated events must wear IMMAF-approved apparel. Always verify current requirements with your event organizer before competing.

What is the benefit of flatlock stitching in MMA apparel?

Flatlock stitching lays flat against the skin rather than creating a raised seam. This eliminates friction and hotspots during extended grappling rounds — essential for compression apparel where seam contact is constant. It also increases the garment's resistance to tearing under repeated submission and escape movements.

How do I choose the right size?

The compression shirt is designed for a snug, supportive fit. Use your chest measurement as the primary sizing reference. XS suits a 32–34 inch chest; S suits 34–36 inches; M suits 36–38 inches; L suits 38–40 inches; XL suits 40–42 inches; 2XL suits 42–44 inches. If between sizes, size up for comfort during active grappling.
