Full Coverage, Full Breathability — Long Sleeve for BJJ and MMA
The Valor Black Mesh Long Sleeve Rash Guard gives you maximum skin coverage without trapping heat. Mesh panels throughout the body and arms keep air moving during hard training sessions, while the long sleeve cut protects against mat burns across the full arm — the areas that take the most punishment in guard work and ground fighting.
The “Always a Student, Never a Master” slogan on the rear neck and waistband. Anti-slip strip on the bottom hem keeps it tucked during movement. White-on-black design, sublimation printed.
Mesh Panels for Serious Breathability
Made from 89% micro polyester and 11% spandex with mesh panels placed across high-heat zones. The four-way stretch moves with you through every position without restricting range of motion. Lightweight enough to forget you’re wearing it.
Long Sleeve Benefits for BJJ
The long sleeve cut is preferred by many gi BJJ practitioners — it adds a layer of protection under the gi jacket, reduces friction burns on the forearms, and keeps the body warmer in cooler gyms. It’s also the standard choice for grapplers who prefer more coverage in no gi competition.
Built to Last — Sublimation Printed, Triple Stitched
Sublimation printing bakes the colour into the fabric so it won’t crack, peel, or fade. Every seam is triple stitched to handle the constant pulling and stretching of BJJ and MMA without coming apart.

Long sleeve vs short sleeve — which is better for BJJ?
Long sleeve is preferred for gi BJJ (more protection under the jacket) and for colder gyms or outdoor training. Short sleeve gives more arm freedom, popular for no gi and MMA. Both work for either discipline — it comes down to personal preference.
What is the anti-slip strip for?
The strip on the bottom hem grips against your shorts or spats to keep the rashguard tucked during scrambles and takedowns.
Will it shrink in the wash?
No. Wash at 30°C and hang dry. The micro polyester fabric holds its shape and won’t shrink.
Can I wear this under my gi?
Yes — the slim fit and mesh construction sit flat under a gi jacket without adding bulk or trapping heat.
