What Are BJJ Spats, Anyway?
Think of BJJ spats as your mat-ready leggings: tougher, more durable than your average tights, designed specifically for grappling. They offer a snug, second-skin fit that helps reduce mat burn, guard against rashes, and keep things hygienic—even when your training room pushes your limits.

Why Wear Spats for BJJ?
Let’s be real—spats are optional, but you’ll wonder how you trained without them. Here’s why:
- Shields skin from gi burn and friction
- Acts as a clean, hygienic barrier
- Offers gentle compression that aids recovery
- Keeps you warmer or cooler depending on conditions
- Style points? Absolutely.
Fit Matters—How Tight Should Spats Be?
Here's your fit checklist:
- Snug enough to stay planted during upside-down moves
- Not so tight that your circulation flags or you question your life choices
- Pinch an inch or more of loose fabric? Consider sizing down
- Feeling numb? Scale up.
BJJ Spats vs. Regular Tights—What Sets Them Apart?
Skip the gym tights. Here's why spats are in a league of their own:
- Reinforced stitching holds up under pressure
- Thicker, grappling-ready material
- No see-through surprises—better opacity
- Built-in antimicrobial fabric keeps mat funk at bay
Tournament‑Ready? Know the Rules
IBJJF Rules:
- Gi divisions: spats must go under your gi, match your rank or be black, have no zippers or pockets, and be ankle-length.
- No-Gi: spats go under shorts, must match your belt color category (white/blue/purple/brown), except black belts who can wear any color.
ADCC:
- More flexible. Spats allowed in no-gi, with or without shorts. No color limits—just keep them in good shape and zipper‑free.
Other Tournaments:
- NAGA—extremely relaxed: any color/design, with or without shorts.
- AGF—similar to IBJJF for gis; more relaxed in no-gi.
- Local events—rules vary. When in doubt, go plain black and check ahead.
Pro Tips:
- Always carry backup gear and shorts.
- Double-check tournament rules well before comp day.
- Test your gear in training to avoid surprises.
