Apollo Centurion Rash Guard — S–5XL BJJ & No-Gi Grappling Top

Choosing the rashguard

Centurion is for grapplers and strikers who put in hard rounds and conditioning blocks in warm rooms. It works for no-gi drilling, live rolling, pad work, and as a base layer under a gi when you want less drag and more breathability. The knit moves cleanly through scrambles and calisthenics, staying light when sweat ramps up, so you can keep pace without feeling weighed down between rounds.

Expect a close, training fit. Rash guards are meant to sit against the skin so the fabric doesn’t catch or bunch. Use your chest measurement and torso length to choose. If you’re between sizes, go down for a tighter, compressive feel and up for a little more room in the shoulders or midsection. For wearing under a gi or long conditioning sets, some athletes prefer the slight extra ease of the larger size.

The Centurion uses a lightweight, smooth knit with built-in stretch, so it tracks your movement without dragging. The fabric wicks sweat fast and dries quickly to help manage heat during hard sessions. It has a soft hand and a summer-weight feel, and the pull-on design keeps it simple. The material resists wrinkling in a gym bag and holds shape through repeated wear.

Care is straightforward: machine wash cold with similar fabrics, skip fabric softener, hang dry or low heat if needed. Keep it away from rough hook-and-loop, sharp knurling, and abrasive mats to reduce snags. Rotate between two tops if you train daily to extend life. Within the Apollo lineup, Centurion is the breathable, summer-weight choice; other Apollo rash guards cover heavier, more compressive, or design-forward options if that’s what you want.
