Ground Game Viking Rashguard Short Sleeve – Built for Hard Training
The Ground Game Viking rashguard fits like a second skin and stays put from the first warm-up to the last round. 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 Norse warrior graphic is applied by sublimation – the dye bonds directly into the fibre, so it can't flake or crack.
The most common rashguard complaint, 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. No more pulling it down between exchanges.
Flat Flatlock seams don't chafe under the arms or across the shoulders, and the elastic thread holds the fabric layers together even when your opponent is pulling on the sleeve. MicroMesh panels along the sides move sweat away and keep air circulating – you'll notice it in an overheated gym and through the summer.
Built for BJJ, no-gi grappling, MMA, wrestling and kickboxing, it also works as a base layer for running or the weight room. Pair it with the leggings or Vale Tudo shorts from the same Viking 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.
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.
Can I wear it under a gi or outside combat sports?
Yes. Under a gi it acts as a hygienic layer that absorbs sweat and protects the skin. Off the mats it works as a compression or base layer in the gym, on runs and under a jacket in winter.
