Ground Game Samurai 2.0 Rashguard Short Sleeve – Samurai Graphic
The Ground Game Samurai 2.0 rashguard pairs a dark, timeless look with technical construction built for hard training. The front carries the logo styled as Japanese lettering; the back holds the bold samurai graphic. The print is applied by sublimation – the dye bonds directly into the fibre, so it can't flake or crack.
The highly elastic ThermoFlex fabric follows your build, holds an even body temperature and shields your skin from mat burn and from your training partner. The knit resists pilling and abrasion, so it stands up to daily use on the mats.
Riding up on the ground is handled by the WrapStrap system: a silicone band on the inside of the bottom hem keeps the shirt in place in guard, through transitions and during escapes. Flat Flatlock seams don't chafe under the arms or across the shoulders, and the elastic thread holds the fabric layers together under load.
MicroMesh panels in the underarms move sweat away and ventilate exactly where you heat up fastest. Built for BJJ, no-gi grappling, MMA, wrestling and kickboxing, it also works for crossfit, running or as a winter base layer. Pair it with the rest of the Samurai 2.0 collection.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Which rashguard size should I pick?
A rashguard should sit tight, like a second skin – a loose one bunches up on the ground and gives your opponent something to grab. The quickest route is the height and weight table. For precision, measure your chest circumference, halve it and compare with column B. Between two sizes: broad shoulders go up, a lean build goes down.
Where exactly is the graphic placed?
The Ground Game logo sits on the chest in Japanese-style lettering, with the main samurai artwork across the back. The rest of the shirt stays dark and understated, so it wears well off the mats too.
Will it ride up during ground work?
No. The WrapStrap silicone band runs along the inside of the bottom hem, grips the skin and stops the shirt from sliding upwards. It holds through transitions, escapes and guard work, so there's nothing to adjust mid-round.
How should I wash it to protect the print?
Wash at 30 °C, inside out, after every session – salt from sweat weakens the fibres and bacteria settle into the weave. Skip fabric softener, keep it out of the dryer and off the radiator. The DyeActive sublimation print is part of the fibre itself, so it won't peel.
Short sleeve or long sleeve?
Short sleeve is the better call for hot gyms and sessions where you want maximum airflow. Long sleeve adds forearm protection against mat burn. For no-gi competition, always check the current ruleset of your federation – some organisations have specific requirements on sleeve length and colour.
