BJJ SPATS

BJJ Spats – Compression Grappling Tights

BJJ spats are a grappling essential — worn under shorts for no gi training, under your gi trousers for added compression and hygiene, or on their own for drilling and light sessions. Our spats are made from high-stretch compression fabric that moves with you, stays in place during scrambles, and holds up to consistent washing without losing shape.

When to Wear Spats

Most grapplers wear spats under their no-gi shorts as a base layer — they protect your legs from mat burns, reduce friction, and add a layer between your skin and the mat. Some competitors also wear them under their gi trousers for added compression during long competition days.
