The Sphere Compression Shorts are designed to be worn for grappling competitors of BJJ and MMA. They can be worn on their own or as added protection under shorts or Gi pants. These stylish Compression Shorts can help to promote blood flow; therefore increasing muscle performance and efficiency. The other major advantage is that they protect you from minor injuries such as scratches, grazes and burns which can come from the mat or your opponents clothing. This means your skin will also be guarded against germs in the mat during grappling.
