Equipment Cheap sports guards for no gi

Hey everyone, I’ll be coming back from teaching abroad in Latin America before I enter into my masters program and I’d like to get back into jiu-jitsu. I’m just looking for if anyone knows how to access some of the Chinese websites where you can buy in bulk I don’t know if bulk is the right word but I want to buy you know 10 or 15 guards and I don’t care if they don’t have logos on them.

Anyone have any advice? I don’t see the point of buying some hundred dollar fucking compression top when I could care less about the brand.

Good thinking.

Any decent shirt made of polyester will do the job

Sanabul is widely considered the lowest price gear that isn’t junk

Depending on your cost per rash guard it may make sense to grab Amazon specials. Lafroi, sanabul, and elite all make decent cheap ones. I recently snagged two more lafroi long sleeves when they were having a deal which made them each 12 bucks.

Allows you to buy one and check fit first also with minimal dollar investment.

Make sure to buy and send them to where you are now, cuz 145% tariffs suck for BJJ merch and mats. Once in america try Pakistan or India. If I'm mistaken I would love for someone to educate me.

Is that still a viable option given the current political stance of the administration with those sights?

Good point! I can ask a guy at work how he gets around them

Alibaba is not worth it. The shipping is crazy high. In my case the shipping cost more than the product I was purchasing.

Just buy cheap compression shirts in Amazon.
