Features

Performance Fabric
Soft polyester-elastane performance fabric with 4-way stretch, quick-drying properties, and moisture management for active training.

Fabric composition may vary depending on where your order is produced:

  • 78% polyester, 22% elastane — US/Mexico
  • 84% polyester, 16% elastane — Latvia

Raglan Construction
Raglan sleeves extend to the collar, creating diagonal seams that support natural shoulder movement.

Extended Coverage
The longer body and sleeves provide added coverage during grappling and under-gi wear.

Smooth Interior
Flat seams and coverstitch construction help keep the interior smooth against the skin.

All-Over Sublimation
The artwork is dyed into the fabric rather than applied as a surface layer, helping reduce the cracking and peeling associated with surface-applied graphics.

Because the design is sublimated onto white fabric, dark areas may appear slightly lighter when stretched, and small amounts of the white base fabric may be visible at seams or folds. This is a normal characteristic of the all-over sublimation process.

About the BJJ KATAKANA Rash Guard

Built for the Mats
The SPARS Women's BJJ KATAKANA Long-Sleeve Rash Guard is designed in Japan for grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training. Its fitted athletic cut and smooth 4-way stretch fabric move with you through drilling and rolling, while layering comfortably under the gi.

The Design
The chest graphic pairs the off-white 「ジュウジュツ」 — the Japanese katakana spelling of “Jujutsu” — with BJJ. Rather than being typeset in a standard font, the lettering is hand-drawn with a manga-inspired style, using intentionally uneven balance, tilted forms, and extended strokes.

Kuzushi (崩し) is the grappling principle of disrupting an opponent's balance to create an opening. That same idea is applied to the letterforms themselves: off-balance, yet unmistakable.

The SPARS logo and wordmark are centered below the back collar for a clean, restrained finish.

Iron Black — Tetsuguro
The rash guard comes in Iron Black — Tetsuguro (鉄黒), with off-white graphics: the BJJ KATAKANA design on the chest and the SPARS logo and wordmark on the upper back.

Training Use
This rash guard is designed for regular grappling and BJJ training. Competition eligibility depends on the event, division, and uniform rules. Check your event’s requirements before competing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Women's BJJ KATAKANA Long-Sleeve Rash Guard fit, and what size should I order?
The rash guard has a fitted athletic cut and runs small. If your measurements fall between sizes, or if you prefer a slightly less close-fitting feel, we recommend sizing up. Use the Body Measurements Size Guide to choose your size.
Is this rash guard designed for grappling and BJJ training?
Yes. It is made for regular grappling, no-gi training, drilling, rolling, open mat, and BJJ practice. The fitted cut and 4-way stretch fabric move with the body during training.
Can I wear it under my gi?
Yes. The fitted cut, smooth fabric, and flat-seam construction make it suitable for layering under a BJJ gi. The longer body and sleeves provide added coverage during training.
Can I wear this rash guard in competition?
This rash guard is designed for regular training and is not specifically designed to meet IBJJF no-gi uniform requirements. Competition requirements vary by organization and division and may change over time. If you plan to wear it in competition, check your event's current uniform rules before purchasing.
What does 「ジュウジュツ」 mean?
「ジュウジュツ」 is the Japanese katakana spelling of "Jujutsu." On this rash guard, the lettering is hand-drawn with deliberately irregular proportions, tilted forms, and extended strokes.
What is Tetsuguro?
Tetsuguro (鉄黒), literally "Iron Black," is a Japanese color name for a deep, subdued black associated with iron. SPARS uses it here to reflect the brand's Japanese roots while keeping the color restrained for regular training.
How is the design printed?
The rash guard uses all-over sublimation, which dyes the artwork into the fabric rather than applying it to the surface.
Can I return or exchange the rash guard if I order the wrong size?
Because this product is made to order, we generally cannot accept returns or exchanges for incorrect sizing, change of mind, or other ordering errors. If your item arrives damaged, defective, misprinted, or incorrect, contact us and we will review and resolve the issue as appropriate. Statutory rights may apply depending on your location.
