MMA Shorts Men: Freedom of Movement That Counts in Training

MMA places special demands on your shorts. During grappling on the ground, striking whilst standing and in every position in between, the shorts must keep up without tearing, slipping or restricting. At The Fight Company you'll find MMA shorts for men from Venum, Booster and other brands that deliver exactly that.

What makes good MMA shorts?

MMA shorts are not normal sports shorts. They are designed for the specific demands of mixed martial arts, and those are varied. Stretch panels provide freedom of movement for high kicks and ground positions. Reinforced seams at stress points prevent the shorts from giving up during grappling. A non-slip waistband keeps the shorts in place even during intense sessions.

Then there's the material: lightweight, breathable and quick-drying. MMA shorts that hang heavy and damp after twenty minutes of training cost you concentration and comfort.

MMA Shorts or MMA Hose: What's the Difference?

Essentially the same thing – MMA Hose and MMA Shorts are two terms for the same product. The cut varies slightly depending on brand and model: some shorts are shorter and more closely fitted for maximum freedom of movement, others slightly longer and looser for more comfort in everyday life and training. What matters is the fit, not the name.

Which martial arts are MMA shorts suitable for?

MMA shorts for men are primarily developed for Mixed Martial Arts , but are also suitable for other martial arts. For kickboxing and Muay Thai they're a practical alternative to traditional shorts if you want to combine freedom of movement and durability. For BJJtraining on the ground they're also suitable, as long as no gi rules apply. In boxing training they're worn less often, but they work perfectly well for conditioning and pad work sessions.

The Right Size in MMA Shorts

MMA shorts for men are usually offered in clothing sizes such as S, M, L and XL, sometimes also in inch sizes based on waist measurement.

As a guide: the shorts should sit firmly at the waist without pinching and allow enough room when performing high kicks.

Common Questions About MMA Shorts

What do you wear for MMA?

In MMA training, MMA shorts or MMA trousers are standard, combined with a Rashguard or an MMA shirt. During sparring, groin guard, mouthguard and depending on training shin guards and MMA gloves are added. In competition, MMA shorts are mandatory; tops are optional or not permitted depending on the rules.

Are trousers allowed in MMA?

In competition, only special MMA shorts are permitted – no long trousers, no normal sports trousers. The shorts must not have pockets with zips or sharp edges that could injure the opponent. In training there are no fixed rules; the gym decides. But MMA shorts are the most sensible choice in training too, as they're specifically developed for the movement requirements.

How do I wash MMA shorts?

At 30–40 degrees in the washing machine, turned inside out. Don't use a tumble dryer – it damages the material and the elastic panels. After washing, leave to air dry.
