FAQ'S

What is Jiu Jitsu?

Grappling and submissions: chokes, joint locks, control from the ground up. When people say "Jiu Jitsu" today, this is what they mean.

How do you Get Started in Jiu Jitsu?

Find a gym with certified instructors and people you actually want to be around. Visit a couple before committing. The coaching matters less than you'd think and the culture matters more.

Why Should You Start Jiu Jitsu?

Mainly because it's fun. Everything else, fitness, self-defence, meeting people, is a byproduct of showing up regularly.

What Are the Health Benefits of Jiu Jitsu?

Cardio, weight loss, muscle tone, flexibility, plus it's a workout you'll actually want to keep doing.

How Does Jiu Jitsu Build Confidence?

You get tapped, you figure out why, you fix it next round. That loop carries over to everything outside the gym too.

What Are the Mental Benefits of Jiu Jitsu?

Focus and staying level-headed under pressure. It's a hard skill to fake, and it sticks.

What Are the Jiu Jitsu Community Benefits

You end up training with the same people for years. That builds real friendships. Showing up to get strangled together twice a week tends to bond people.

What are the benefits of Jiu Jitsu for Women?

Real self-defence built on leverage, not size, plus the body awareness that comes from controlling someone bigger than you. It's also why Adapt builds every design in a genuine women's cut, not a resized men's small.


What Are the Benefits of Jiu Jitsu for Kids?

Discipline, focus, and losing without falling apart. Our Kids Rashguards and Training Shorts are built to the same 230 GSM standard as the adult range, just sized down.



What is the best BJJ Sportswear?

Four-way stretch, moisture-wicking, reinforced seams. Adapt's rashguards are built to 230 GSM specifically because lighter fabric rips at the seams within a few months of real training.


Long sleeve vs short sleeve rashguard, which is better?

Long sleeve gives more skin protection and grip; short sleeve breathes better in hot rooms. Most people training regularly end up owning both.


What’s the Best Rashguard for Hot Weather Training?

Lightweight, quick-dry fabric with mesh ventilation panels. Anything heavy or cotton-based will leave you overheating by round three. It's what Adapt's under-armpit mesh is built to avoid.



Are There Women’s Jiu Jitsu Rashguards?

 Yes, and a genuine women's cut, not a resized men's rashguard. Adapt's the only brand doing every single design in a proper women's fit: contoured, no riding up mid-guard.



How Do You Wash a BJJ Rashguard Properly?

Cold water, mild detergent, air dry. No bleach, no fabric softener, no dryer. Heat is what kills the elasticity and the print on any rashguard, including ours.



How Can You Prevent Rashguard Odor?

Wash it straight after training, never leave it in the gym bag. Adapt's under-armpit mesh is designed to reduce the buildup in the first place, so you're not relying on the wash alone.

What Should You Look for in a Jiu Jitsu Rashguard Buying Guide?
  • Compression fit
  • Moisture-wicking, stretch fabric
  • Under-armpit mesh
  • Waistband that actually grips
  • Flatlock stitching, so it doesn't chafe
  • IBJJF-approved colours if you compete
  • A cut built for your body, not just resized

Adapt rashguards are built to hit all seven.

It's the baseline spec, not a premium tier.


What Are IBJJF-Approved Rashguards?

At least 10% of the rashguard has to show your belt colour, and it needs to fit snug per competition uniform rules.



Gi vs No-Gi rashguard, what's the difference?

Same rashguard, different job. Under the Gi it's for hygiene and comfort; in No-Gi it's your primary top, doing the work of grip control and compression. One rashguard, either use case.



Are Lightweight BJJ Rashguards Durable Enough?

Yes, if the fabric's built for it. 230 GSM is the number to look for. It's what keeps ours from thinning out after a season of regular training.





How Often Should You Replace Your Rashguard?

Every 6–12 months with regular use, or sooner if it's lost stretch or holds smell no matter how you wash it. Better fabric buys you more time before either of those happens.

How do I know what size to get?

Adapt runs true to size, but every product has its own cut. A rashguard, a Gi, and leggings don't fit the same way, so check the size guide for the specific item rather than assuming your usual size carries across.

If you're between sizes, size up for a looser roll or down for a tighter compression fit. Both are valid depending on how you train, not a wrong answer.

What if I order the wrong size?

Not a problem. Send it back within 30 days, unworn, and we'll swap it or refund it. No point guessing when you can just fix it after.
