Should I buy a rash guard?

Its better then the people who wear nothing under their Gi...

Males aren't allowed to at my dojo. Just gi, maybe some unders if you're feeling shy.

Rashguards may not stop bacteria/microbes/whatever from getting to your skin, but they do reduce the amount of ABRASION that happens to your skin, which reduces the number of potential entry points for infection. So there is some mitigating effect from them. That's not the primary reason for rashguards though. The primary reason to wear them is that if I'm trying to do something, and my foot gets caught in your fucking t-shirt, I am going to RIP THAT MOTHER FUCKER APART. Also, if my finger gets caught in your shirt and gets messed up I will make your noob ass pay in blood.

So buy a damn rashguard and wear it for No-Gi.
For Gi, who gives a ****.... use one or don't. I wear one because otherwise my gi rubs the **** out of my delicate skin.

Pushups... I was going to say that about the abrasion. I got one because of the little scratches I was getting. Prevents that nasty nipple rub too!

Good point about the t-shirts. It's a lot nicer for your training partners to grapple with a sleek sexy man.

Not true! I wear only latex or PVC "Rash Guards" All my germs stay on my side. Some people do complain about the zippers though.

I couldn't see the image... I can imagine it is the sort of thing that is blocked here.

But, I was going to say... The zippers I can get used to, it is the ball gags that freak me out.

You didn't complain about my balls gagging you last night.

With that material, this is the best you can do? I was hoping for better from you, grasshopper. I can see you are not ready.

Hoping anything for moose is an exercise in failure.

I think he just needs a little bit extra help, but there's no reason why he can't stay in the same classroom as the rest of us.
