A rash guard, also known as a rash vest or a rashie, is extensively used in sporting activities like swimming, cycling, weightlifting, bodybuilding, yoga, and martial arts. Martial artists need rash guards for any martial art where grappling is involved, like Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, wrestling, and more. A rash guard is an upper body attire, a type of shirt that protects the wearer from rashes caused by friction. Pacific Sports offers high-quality full-sleeves and short-sleeves rash guards, made from a blend of polyester and spandex, that are used by martial artists all over the world.
Protects from rashes
As the name signifies, a rash guard protects from rashes, caused due to friction or heat. Grappling involves a lot of rolling, tumbling, and clinching on the mat which can cause mat burns. A rash guard protects from such mat burns and allows you to practice safely.
Protects from infections
If the training partner has some skin infection, or if the Gi is not washed, or if the mat is not cleaned, then chances of transferring bacteria, viruses and fungus increase greatly. Wearing a rash guard on top and full spats below, greatly limits the skin coming in contact with the training partner’s skin, sweat and clothes. Less exposure of the skin results in less chances of infections.
Prevents injuries
Rashes, bruises, scrapes, abrasions, cuts and wounds, all cause minor to major injuries. In martial arts, injuries do happen, but injuries that can be prevented should not happen. Most of the injuries are caused by heat due to friction, which can be easily prevented by simply wearing a rash guard.
Improves blood circulation
As the rash guard has a tight fit, it keeps the body temperature warm and comfortable. The flow of blood is improved that helps in maintaining the energy levels required for intensive training. Muscle fatigue, muscle strains, and muscle pulls are also greatly minimized.
Promotes safer practice
You can practice safely as there is no worry of infections, mat burns, rashes, bruises, or other cuts and wounds created by friction. Sweat is effectively wicked away, and dust, dirt, bacteria, and fungus are avoided. It also stays in place, even while performing intricate grappling movements.
Provides easy maintenance
You can either handwash them or machine-wash in normal cold water. After every training session, they should be washed so that they remain clean and hygienic. Follow the washing instructions as given on the label. A clean, washed, rash guard lasts a very, very long time.
