I used to wear a singlet for no gi

Look at this picture from 2005 and you’ll see me as a young 20 year old blue belt during a no gi training session. You’ll notice that I’m wearing a singlet with a pair of gray shorts over it. This of course is to keep my man parts out of anyone’s face during practice, although during tournaments I would wear the singlet by itself.

Back before the days of unicorn print rash guards and more BJJ clothing companies than you could ever hope to remember. Options on no gi attire were really limited. A few companies like Hunter, Badboy and Vitmains and Minerals made some gear. It was typically vale tudo shorts and rash guards. Board shorts weren’t really popular quite yet. Oh there was Sprawl too. But I didn’t like the fit of their old shorts.

There really isn’t a reason to post this picture, just sharing a funny photo.
