Let’s talk about those often-overlooked training essentials: BJJ spats. Sure, they might not be as flashy as a rash guard, but trust me, they’re a game-changer. Think of them as your secret weapon for those intense grappling sessions.
What are BJJ Spats?
So, what exactly are BJJ spats? Essentially, they’re compression pants designed specifically for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Unlike regular tights, BJJ spats are made from tougher, more durable materials to withstand the rigors of the mat. They offer a snug fit that helps to prevent skin-on-skin contact, reducing the risk of mat burn and those pesky rashes. Plus, they add a layer of warmth, which can be a game-changer during colder training sessions.

Real People Testimonials:
Are BJJ Spats Necessary for Training?
Short answer? No. Long answer? Your training life will be 1000% better with them. Here's why:
- Prevents gi burn (your knees will thank you)
- Keeps everything... well, contained
- Extra hygiene barrier between you and the mat
- Helps with recovery through compression
- Makes your guard retention 10% better (okay, I made that up, but they do help!)
How Tight Should BJJ Spats Be?
Finding the right fit is like finding the perfect açaí bowl – it's personal, but there are some guidelines:
- Should feel like a firm handshake for your legs
- Tight enough to stay in place during inverted guards
- Not so tight that you're questioning your life choices
- If you can pinch more than an inch of loose material, size down
- If you're losing circulation, size up (duh!)
Difference Between BJJ Spats and Regular Tights
Let me tell you a story. I once showed up to training in regular compression pants from a big sports brand. One roll later, they were basically see-through. Learn from my mistakes, folks! BJJ spats are different because:
- Reinforced stitching in high-stress areas
- Thicker, more durable material
- Designed for grappling movements
- Better opacity (nobody wants to see your Ninja Turtle underwear)
- Antimicrobial properties (because mat funk is real)
Are BJJ Spats Legal in BJJ Tournaments Like ADCC and Others?
Let's break down the BJJ spats rules for different tournaments because, trust me, you don't want to be that person frantically shopping for legal gear on competition day (been there, done that, got the overpriced tournament vendor t-shirt! 😅).
IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation) Rules
The IBJJF is pretty specific about their gear requirements:
Gi Divisions:
- Spats must be worn under your gi pants
- Color must match your rank or be black
- No pockets or zippers (seems obvious, but you'd be surprised!)
- Must be skintight and reach the ankle
No-Gi Divisions:
- Spats can be worn under shorts only
- Must match your rank colors:
- White/Blue belts: White, black, or blue spats
- Purple belts: White, black, blue, or purple spats
- Brown belts: White, black, blue, purple, or brown spats
- Black belts: Any color spats
- No mixing and matching colors (save your rainbow spats for the gym)
ADCC is a bit more relaxed about their gear requirements:
- Spats allowed in all no-gi divisions
- Can be worn without shorts over them (unlike IBJJF)
- No restrictions on colors or designs
- Must be in good condition (no tears or damaged material)
- No pockets, zippers, or anything that could catch fingers
Other Major Tournaments
NAGA (North American Grappling Association):
- Super relaxed about spats
- Any color or design allowed
- Can be worn with or without shorts
- Must be clean and in good condition
AGF (American Grappling Federation):
- Similar to IBJJF rules for Gi divisions
- More lenient in no-gi divisions
- Color restrictions only apply to ranked divisions
Local Tournaments:
- Rules vary widely
- Always check specific tournament rules
- When in doubt, pack both shorts and spats
Pro Tips for Competition Spats
- Always Pack Backup Gear:
- Bring an extra pair of competition-legal spats
- Pack shorts that can go over your spats
- Keep a basic black pair as your emergency backup
- Pre-Competition Checklist:
- Check tournament rules a week before
- Verify your spats match your rank requirements
- Test your competition spats in training
- Make sure they're not see-through when stretched
- Competition Day Strategy:
- Arrive early to verify gear compliance
- Have your rulebook screenshots ready on your phone
- Keep backup gear in your tournament bag
- Don't debut brand new spats at competition
Common Tournament Gear Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Don't:
- Assume all tournaments follow IBJJF rules
- Wait until competition day to check rules
- Wear worn-out or damaged spats
- Use compression pants marketed for other sports
✅ Do:
- Email organizers if rules aren't clear
- Take photos of approved gear at weigh-ins
- Keep competition-specific spats separate from training ones
- Follow both general and division-specific requirements
Emergency Solutions
If you find yourself in a gear emergency at a tournament:
- Check if the venue has approved vendors
- Ask your team if anyone has extra legal gear
- Keep emergency plain black spats in your car
- Know where nearby sports shops are located
Remember, each tournament organization may update their rules annually, so always double-check the latest requirements before competing. When in doubt, going with plain black BJJ spats is usually your safest bet – think of them as the little black dress of BJJ competition wear!
