Tatami Fightwear Thinker Monkey Spats

The Tatami Thinker Monkey Spats are one of the most iconic pieces from Tatami’s creative collection. Inspired by the famous artwork “The Thinker” and reimagined with a playful martial arts twist, these spats combine standout design with practical performance. Perfect for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, grappling, MMA, or general fitness, they are built to deliver both style and function.

Overview

Made from a high-quality polyester–spandex blend, the Thinker Monkey Spats provide lightweight compression support while allowing a natural range of motion. The fabric is breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, helping you stay cool and comfortable during even the toughest sessions. Designed with grapplers in mind, the spats offer a secure fit that won’t ride up or shift while rolling.

Features Include:

• Premium polyester–spandex fabric blend
• Unique Tatami Thinker Monkey design
• Lightweight compression fit for muscle support
• Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance
• Durable flatlock stitching to prevent irritation
• Elastic waistband for a secure hold
• Ideal for BJJ, MMA, grappling, or fitness training

Performance and Comfort

Thanks to their compression fit, these spats provide muscle support while reducing fatigue during long training sessions. Moreover, the moisture-wicking properties keep you dry, while the flatlock stitching ensures the seams sit smoothly against your skin to avoid rubbing or discomfort. The elastic waistband adds to the secure fit, allowing you to move freely with confidence.

Standout Design

The Thinker Monkey graphic has become one of Tatami’s most recognisable designs, bringing humour and personality to your training gear. The bold print makes these spats a perfect statement piece, while still maintaining the durability required for serious training.

Tatami Thinker Monkey Spats – Style Meets Performance

The Tatami Thinker Monkey Spats are more than just eye-catching—they’re built for the demands of grappling. With their durable fabric, secure fit, and fun design, they are an excellent choice for athletes who want gear that performs as good as it looks.
