About Me Rash Guard for BJJ and MMA Training
About Me Rash Guard is a short-sleeve compression top from Respect Sports, created for athletes who train with purpose and confidence. Its bold message, “It’s not about you. It’s about me,” reflects the personal journey behind Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA and other demanding sports.
This rash guard is designed for training sessions, technical drilling, rolling, conditioning and competition preparation. It combines a confident visual style with the practical feel athletes expect from a compression training top. Whether you are working through techniques, improving your movement or building consistency on the mats, About Me Rash Guard helps you train comfortably while expressing your own mindset.
Why Choose About Me Rash Guard?
Every athlete trains for different reasons. Some people want to improve their technique, while others are focused on fitness, discipline or personal growth. The About Me Rash Guard is designed around that individual journey.
- Bold personal message: The statement design represents self-focus, commitment and personal progress.
- Short-sleeve compression style: The fitted design is suitable for active training and movement.
- Designed for BJJ and MMA: A practical option for grappling, striking drills, conditioning and gym sessions.
- Training-focused comfort: The compression-top style is made to support a close, streamlined fit.
- Versatile use: Wear it during mat training, strength work, warm-ups or general athletic activity.
- Respect Sports design: A distinctive rash guard created for athletes who value progress and individuality.
Designed for BJJ, MMA and Active Training
A rash guard can be useful across many types of training. For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it can be worn during drilling, positional work, sparring and conditioning. For MMA athletes, it can form part of a training outfit for striking practice, grappling sessions, pad work and fitness exercises.
The close-fitting design helps keep the garment streamlined during movement. This is useful when changing positions, practising takedowns, working from guard or completing ground-based exercises. The short sleeves also provide a balance between coverage and freedom of movement for athletes who prefer a lighter training layer.
For competition, always check the specific clothing and colour requirements of the event or organisation before participating. Rules can vary between tournaments, gyms and competition formats.
The Meaning Behind the About Me Design
The phrase on this rash guard is more than a graphic. It is a reminder that martial arts progress is personal. Your improvement is measured by your own consistency, effort and willingness to learn.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu rewards patience and persistence. A technique may take time to understand, and progress may not always be obvious from one session to the next. The About Me Rash Guard represents the decision to focus on your own development rather than comparing your journey with someone else’s.
Wear it during training as a simple reminder to stay focused, keep learning and continue showing up. It is suitable for beginners who are starting their martial arts journey and experienced athletes who understand the value of long-term discipline.
Comfort and Training Fit
The compression style is intended to provide a close athletic fit without unnecessary loose fabric. This makes the rash guard suitable for active movement and ground training. A close-fitting top can also be worn beneath other training layers when additional coverage is preferred.
Available sizes are S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Choose the size that best matches your preferred training fit. For a more secure compression feel, select according to the manufacturer’s sizing information. If you prefer a less fitted feel, consider your usual clothing measurements and allow suitable room for movement.
Before ordering, review the available size options carefully. Individual fit preferences vary, and athletes should choose the size that provides comfortable movement without excessive tightness.
How to Use Your Rash Guard
- Choose the correct size before training.
- Wear the rash guard during BJJ, MMA, grappling or fitness sessions.
- Check that the garment allows comfortable movement across the shoulders and torso.
- Remove the rash guard after training and wash it according to the care instructions.
- Allow it to dry fully before storing it for your next session.
For hygiene, avoid leaving a used rash guard inside a closed gym bag for long periods. Wash training clothing promptly after use, especially after intense sessions or contact training.
Care Instructions
- Follow the garment care label before washing.
- Wash with similar colours.
- Use a mild detergent when possible.
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
- Do not use excessive heat unless the care label allows it.
- Air dry when practical to help preserve the fabric and printed design.
- Do not iron directly over printed graphics.
Good care helps maintain the appearance and performance of your training clothing. Always follow the instructions supplied with the garment.
Who Should Wear About Me Rash Guard?
About Me Rash Guard is suitable for BJJ practitioners, MMA athletes, grapplers, martial arts students, gym users and active people who want a distinctive short-sleeve training top. It can be used by beginners, recreational athletes and experienced competitors.
It is also a practical gift for someone who enjoys Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts. The message makes it different from a plain training top while remaining suitable for regular gym and mat use.
Training and Competition Safety
Training clothing should fit comfortably and should not restrict breathing or movement. Stop exercising if you feel unwell, dizzy or unusually uncomfortable. A rash guard is training clothing and does not replace proper coaching, warm-up, protective equipment or safe training practices.
For official competition, check the rules of the relevant organisation. Athletes can review the official IBJJF rules and resources when preparing for BJJ events.

Fast delivery. Thank you!

A damn fine rashie! In comparison to earlier rashies, it appears to be using a better sublimation method as the graphics are far sharper. The fit is good. Stitching is great and feels much more expensive than it actually is. The fact that my purchase has benefited a charity is great too. Thanks team!
