This collection includes fight shorts from Fairtex, Twins, Hayabusa, Engage, Venum, and more.

For MMA and grappling, we carry board shorts and hybrid designs from Hayabusa, Engage, and Venum that offer four-way stretch, reinforced stitching, and Velcro closures that won't come undone mid-roll.

Finding the right fit matters — most Muay Thai shorts run slightly small, while MMA board shorts are true to size. Browse the collection to find your perfect pair, from budget-friendly training shorts to limited-edition fighter exclusives.

Frequently asked questions

Fight shorts should fit snug at the waist with enough room through the thighs for full-range kicks and grappling. Most brands run slightly large — if you're between sizes, go down. Measure your waist where you wear your shorts, not your jean size. MMA/grappling shorts are typically shorter with a tighter fit than Muay Thai shorts.

Muay Thai shorts are cut shorter and wider through the leg for maximum kicking range. They're typically satin or microfiber with an elastic waistband. MMA/grappling shorts are longer, have a tighter fit, and often include a drawstring plus Velcro closure — they need to stay put during ground work. For pure striking, go Muay Thai style. For MMA/BJJ, go MMA style.

Most quality fight shorts use microfiber or satin polyester for lightweight breathability and freedom of movement. Premium brands like SKS and YAMMY add reinforced stitching at stress points. Look for moisture-wicking fabric to stay dry during long training sessions. Compression shorts worn underneath add support and prevent chafing.

Absolutely. Fight shorts are designed for maximum mobility — they work great for any high-movement training including CrossFit, HIIT, and general gym work. The lightweight fabric and wider cut make them more comfortable than regular gym shorts for exercises requiring full range of motion. Just note that Muay Thai-style shorts are quite short — if you prefer more coverage, go MMA-style.
