I train BJJ and am thinking of getting a rashguard.
Im used to the old school karate way where its bare chested with gi thats it, no leggings or shirt or anything, but at my new club everyone has rashguards or shirts, and the head instructors have asked that everyone wear a shirt under their gi top.
Ive been wearing just plain cotton tshirts, nice and tight, and they seem to work well enough.
So, why would I get a rash guard? I roll at least 3x a week and have never got, or seen, anyone get a rash or infection. I assume as the years wear on this will change, but still, should I bother? They seem expensive. What are the pros and cons of having a rashguard over just wearing a t-shirt and boxer shorts under my gi?
Also, reckon I should get just a rashguard shirt or the full set with leggings too? And why?
