Muay Thai Shorts

Explore Our Wide Range of Muay Thai Shorts

Walk into any Muay Thai gym around the world and you will see a wide array of training outfits. The sport does not have a fixed uniform, so you are likely to spot participants wearing all sorts of t-shirts and shorts in various colors, shapes, brands, and designs. This diverse scene reflects the evolving fashion and personal preferences within the Muay Thai community.

Despite this variety, one thing remains constant when it comes to competition: Muay Thai shorts are an essential piece of equipment. For women, sports bras are also a must. While standard training sessions do not strictly require these specialized shorts, their comfort and functional design support the range of movements and techniques unique to Muay Thai training and fighting.

Unique Design and Functionality

The unique design and shape of Muay Thai shorts set them apart from general sportswear and everyday apparel. Each style is crafted to offer maximum comfort. The waistband sits firmly and securely while allowing for free motion in the hips and legs. Whether you are practicing technique drills, sparring, or stepping into the ring for competition, the right pair will make a difference.

Muay Thai shorts come in many different shapes and cuts, but one thing all pairs share is prioritizing movement. Every athlete can choose the style that best matches their needs and preferences. If you are unsure about the ideal fit, our comprehensive Muay Thai shorts size guide is available to help you find the perfect size across the various leading brands.

Benefits of Choosing the Right Muay Thai Shorts

Properly-fitted Muay Thai shorts provide unrestricted range of motion, which is crucial for executing kicks, knees, and footwork. A snug waistband ensures your shorts stay in place throughout intense drills and sparring rounds. This allows you to focus on technique and performance instead of adjusting your gear.

The fabrics and stitching are chosen for both durability and comfort. Many designs include bold patterns and colors, letting you express your personality in the gym. Some styles feature mesh panels, side slits, or embroidery, catering to athletes’ specific tastes and requirements.

FAQS

How do I choose the right size?

Muay Thai shorts are unlike any other shorts. Their shape, cut and fit differs between brands and styles too. So it's important that you measure your waist and refer to the specific brand's size chart. Consider your fit preference, whether you prefer a looser or more fitted silhouette, and take into account any specific sizing recommendations provided by the brand. Take a look at our detailed size guide for more guidance on finding the perfect fit.

How should Muay Thai shorts fit?

This is mostly a matter of preference. Some people like them tight. Others a looser fit. Some people like to roll over the waistband. Others like to have it high up on their abdomen. It takes time to identify exactly how you like your Muay Thai shorts to fit. Even then, it can change according to style.

Regardless, they should at least fit snuggly around the hips or waist. Enough so that they do not slip off when throwing strikes. They are designed to maximise movement throughout all types of strikes and training. So consider this a minimum.

Are Muay Thai shorts necessary?

Yes and no. For competition, yes. For training, no. However, if you're committed to the sport, you should get yourself at least 2 pairs to rotate between trainings. Muay Thai shorts are specifically designed to maximise movement for Muay Thai strikes. So they can help you be most comfortable during training.

How short should Muay Thai shorts be?

There is no minimum shortness. But they should not go beyond the knee. It's really a matter of preference. Some people like them really short. Others a bit longer.

What are "retro" fit shorts?

Retro fit shorts have a shorter waistband - typically 3 strips instead of 6 - and have a shorter, snugger fit. They don't flare out at the thighs as much as modern fit shorts. They are also much smaller overall when compared to the same waist size of a modern fit short.

What to wear under Muay Thai shorts?

You need to be mindful that your shorts will move during training and you will likely adjust them at points. Wearing underwear that is comfortable and concealing is your best bet.

You can also wear compression shorts or something similar.

How to wash Muay Thai shorts?

In one word: delicately. Muay Thai shorts are made from delicate fabrics and feature intricate stitching. Some brands even include fragile materials that need extra attention when washing. As such, we always recommend hand washing Muay Thai shorts inside out with a mild detergent. Gently massaging the shorts before soaking for 15-20 minutes. Followed by air drying out of direct sunlight. Never tumble dry them, as it will degrade the materials and waistband. For more details, check out our detailed guide on washing your Muay Thai gear.

How many pairs should I own?

You can never own too many! Strictly speaking, you should own enough pairs to ensure you always have a clean pair ready for training. Don't wear the same pair to training without cleaning beforehand. So, if you train frequently, you will need more shorts. If you train once a week, you may only need one pair.

What should I wear to a Muay Thai class?

Wear what makes you comfortable. Training Muay Thai is intense, so you don't want any restrictive clothing holding you back. Nor do you want to wear clothes that end up soaked and sodden. Breathability is key. You also need to be mindful of your partners and ensure any clothing you wear won't impact them in any negative way.

You can't go wrong with a pair of Muay Thai shorts and a t-shirt or tank top.
