Long compression pants (also called spats, tights or leggings) are becoming increasingly popular in martial arts. Especially in sports like Nogi BJJ, grappling or wrestling, but also increasingly in stand-up martial arts like MMA, kickboxing or Muay Thai. 

What is compression leggings?

Compression pants are available in many designs and colors and can also be worn under conventional MMA fight shorts, for example.
