The Growing Market for Women's Jiu Jitsu Wear

Why Now Is the Right Time to Launch Your Custom Women's Rash Guard Line

As a leading B2B custom sportswear manufacturer, Rise Sportswear is witnessing a dynamic shift in the combat sports clothing space—specifically within the growing world of women's Jiu Jitsu.

From training mats to competition podiums, women are embracing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) not only as a martial art but also as a lifestyle. This rising participation has created strong market demand for high-quality, custom women's rash guards that combine functionality, comfort, and brand identity.

Market Outlook: A Rapidly Expanding Female Segment in Jiu Jitsu

Historically, Jiu Jitsu has been male-dominated. However, over the past 5 years, the sport has seen a 20–30% increase in female practitioners globally, with women now making up approximately 25–30% of active BJJ participants. This trend is especially prominent in North America, Europe, and emerging Asian markets.

While men's Jiu Jitsu apparel remains the larger segment by volume, the women's Jiu Jitsu market is growing faster, fueled by:

1. Increased awareness of self-defense among women;

2. Inclusion of women's divisions in major BJJ tournaments;

3. A strong community culture on social media platforms;

4. The need for female-specific training gear and sizing.

Why Women's Rash Guards Deserve a Dedicated Product Line

Women rash guards are no longer just "smaller versions" of men's products. Female athletes need gear that's engineered for their body structure, movement patterns, and style preferences.

Key product considerations include:

1. Design functionality: Coverage for chest and hips, without sacrificing mobility;

2. Tailored fit: Streamlined but non-restrictive cuts for enhanced comfort;

3. Print relevance: Designs that reflect women's stories, values, and team identities;

4. High-performance fabric: Moisture-wicking, stretchable, and squat-proof materials.

At Rise Sportswear, we produce custom women rash guards using advanced dye sublimation and premium eco-fabrics, allowing your brand to stand out with unique aesthetics—whether you prefer subtle motifs like skulls and roses, empowering slogans like "Jiu Jitsu & Love", or full team branding.

Is Jiu Jitsu Better Suited for Men or Women?

Contrary to outdated beliefs, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is equally suited—if not better—for many women, thanks to its emphasis on leverage, positioning, and technique over brute strength. Women often excel in:

1. Guard play and positional control;

2. Strategic grappling and timing;

3. Long-term injury prevention through technique focus.

This makes Jiu Jitsu a highly inclusive discipline, and opens the door for diverse product ranges built specifically for the female community.
