Top 5 Muay Thai Shorts
September 2nd, 2010Choosing Muay Thai Shorts: What To Look For
August 26th, 2009Muay Thai shorts are a lot more than just a flashy style to wear in the fighting ring. These shorts come from a long history of martial arts heritage and vigorous competition. They are specially designed, specially fitted, and specially constructed in a way that makes them the most ideal shorts possible for not just the sport of Muay Thai, but for mixed martial arts (MMA) in the wider scale.
The history of the shorts comes from the history of Muay itself, which is a full body martial art that originated in Thailand (hence the name Muay Thai). Because the discipline fully utilizes both the arms and legs, it is absolutely essential that the clothing worn not impede movement of these limbs in anyway.
Therefore, when you go to pick out a pair of Muay Thai shorts, you want to make sure that they have plenty of leg room. That is, the openings for each leg should be quite wide, and cut at such an angle that it will not cut off movement when you kick, shift your weight suddenly and forcefully, or wrestle on the ground.
Another important thing to look for in these shorts is a secure waistband. While the shorts should not keep your legs from being fully utilized, they should keep themselves from falling down or being pulled down. In everything from standard boxing and kick boxing to Muay and MMA, keeping your shorts up is important, which is why thick-banded, high waist shorts are so common in these sports. Look for shorts that have such a waistband.
The final of the three most important elements in selecting Muay Thai shorts is the material from which the shorts are made. Prices on shorts range anywhere from $10 to $50, but as with most things, you do get what you pay for. There are plenty of quality shorts in the middle ranges, but what you really want to pay attention to, after leg movement and waist band, is how slick the material is. Having shorts that are slick makes it harder for your opponent to get a good grip on your waist if you are wrestling on the floor. It also makes for even slicker movement against the skin, which helps keep your legs free.
So, when buying Muay Thai shorts, look for leg room, waist band, and material. Then pick the color and design you like best, and go into the ring with confidence.
What Style Of Muay Thai Shorts Are Right For Me?
July 12th, 2009If you’re at all familiar with Muay Thai shorts, you’ll know that the title of this article is, in a way, a sort of trick questions. For the most part, these shorts are so similar in shape, form, and size that you would almost think they are all made by the same manufacturer. However, there are a few choices you’ll need to make when you go to buy yourself a pair. Let’s look first at some things that almost every pair of Muay Thai shorts, without exception, has in common.
What makes a pair of shorts “Muay Thai” style?
- Loose fit: These are shorts designed to be worn in full-body martial arts. That requires an intense amount of movement of the entire body, including the legs. Shorts are worn to provide protection to the fighters, but should not impede their movement. Therefore, the leg portions of the shorts are incredibly wide and loose to allow full movement.
- Secure waist: Because things can get intense in the ring, it’s important not to wear any shorts that have metal clasps or other fasteners. Muay Thai and MMA shorts generally have a very secure elastic waistband that is wide and very tightly sewn to provide a snug and secure fit.
- Slippery: It sounds silly to say “slippery” but that is the truest word. MMA involves grappling and wrestling, and having a slick material helps keep your opponent from getting a good grip on you. The slickness also helps add to free leg movement. Most shorts are so sleek as to be a bit shiny.
What are some differences that I’ll get to choose between?
- Color and Design are the biggest difference. Many fighters spend a long time picking out a pair (or pairs) of shorts that really match the image and style that they identify with and want to convey in the ring. From ice to flames, bold colors to deep black, almost anything you can think of, you can find it on a pair of Muay Thai shorts.
- Material / Quality: Choosing how high a quality material you pay for (such as how well sewn and how slippery your shorts are) is the last choices you’ll make. Prices are higher for quality materials, but it generally is well worth it for the quality you get, as well as the fact that better materials mean your Muay Thai shorts will last longer.
What Makes Muay Thai Shorts Distinct?
June 7th, 2009Used in traditional Muay, but more commonly in mixed martial arts (MMA), Muay Thai shorts are a very specific style of athletic shorts. Anyone familiar with them can identify Muay-style shorts in just an instant, but they are not so distinct just for the sake of being different. The design, structure, style, and even material of these shorts are all very specific. They are based on what is needed by the fighters who wear them in the ring. To the audience watching a fight, shorts may just seem to be part of a fighter’s image, but there is so much more to Muay Thai shorts than that.
One of the most important things about these shorts is that they must allow for free movement of the legs. Because mixed martial arts draws from a variety of fighting styles and martial arts disciplines, fighters may at any time be jumping from side to side, running or trotting, kicking, kickboxing, grappling, or wrestling on the ground.
When you are engaged in such a wide range of activities, you need to have full movement of your legs. Because of this Muay Thai shorts are designed with quite wide leg space, so that the fighter can move his or her legs in all directions and at all degrees without motion being impeded in even the slightest way.
The other major feature that sets these shorts apart from shorts people wear in other sports is the material. Because of floor wrestling and grappling, it is in a fighter’s best interest to be hard to get a hold of. The material used to make Muay shorts is almost always quite slippery. Shorts on the lower end of the price spectrum may be made with blends of natural and synthetic material that are smoother than cotton or other clothes; but the high end shorts get really slick, with natural 100% soft satin.
If you plan on being competitive, investing in a pair of quality Muay Thai shorts really is worth it. You can spend anywhere from $10 to $40 on the shorts, but somewhere in the $20-$30 range should usually suffice.
What Are Muay Thai Shorts, And How Much Should I Expect To Pay?
May 16th, 2009Muay Thai shorts are a very specific style of athletic shorts. They are typically worn by athletes competing in the sports of mixed martial arts, kickboxing, and, of course, Muay Thai.
Muay Thai itself is the sport that started it all, as far as the shorts are concerned anyway. With a heritage of hundreds of years, Muay was a form of very competitive, full body martial arts practiced in Thailand. All throughout southeast Asia, similar types of sports were found, that differed slightly between countries, regions, and principalities.
But Muay held strong, and when it was introduced to other parts of the world, it became known not just as Muay, but as Muay Thai to honor its country and culture of origin. It is now one of the sports whose techniques and disciplines are utilized and incorporated into the practice of mixed martial arts (more commonly known as “MMA”). MMA draws on a variety of martial arts, allowing fighters to use various techniques all together in an effort to find the very best and most effective style of fighting possible.
Because Muay Thai requires the fighter to use his or her entire body (including full use of the arms and legs), very specific clothing rules are in place for competitive fighting. Muay Thai shorts and shirts are worn in the sport itself, with just the shorts being utilized in MMA (MMA, as practiced in the United States, anyway, does not allow male fighters to wear a shirt.)
Muay Thai shorts generally have a quite secure elastic waistband to hold them up on or slightly above the boxers hip bones. They then feature loose-fitting legs, which allow for full movement that does not impede the fighter in any way during competition. They generally go more than halfway down the thigh, almost to the knee.
How much you spend on Muay Thai shorts really depends on the material and design you are looking for. They come in all sorts of colors, with images, designs, and words meant to display power, energy, and ferocity in the ring. More high end shorts will be made of 100% soft satin, while the more entry level shorts are blended with cotton or other fibers. Prices generally range from $10-15 to $35-$40.
From Muay Thai Shorts To Use In MMA: An Overview Of Muay
April 4th, 2009Muay Thai is an intense and challenging form of martial arts that has its roots deep in the culture of Thailand, but is now practiced all over the world. Whether you are interested in authentic Muay and the history of the sport, or the use of Muay Thai shorts and techniques in contemporary mixed martial arts, you’ll find that this sport offers something for everyone.
Muay Thai traces its roots back to ancient Thailand, and similar sports are practiced throughout the countries in Southeast Asia. With historical documentation of Thai boxers being well established in the early 18th century, the sport was clearly popular long before that in order for its reputation and prominence to become so popular.
Now, Muay Thai is just one of many rigorous disciplines incorporated into the much more widely practiced MMA, or mixed martial arts. You will often see MMA fighters wearing Muay Thai shorts while they compete. This is because MMA allows a competing fighter to wear shorts, but no shirt. (Gloves are also allowed).
The shorts worn in Muay differ considerably when compared to shorts that one would wear for every day clothing purposes. Because Muay Thai requires the fighter to fully engage his or her arms and legs, the shorts must not restrict movement. They are there simply to protect the fighter, not to impede him.
Most MMA and Muay Thai shorts have an elastic waistband to hold the shorts up, because fasteners of any kind could prove dangerous in a fighting situation. They generally are worn around the hips, and then go only as low as the mid to lower thigh.
The material for good Muay shorts is somewhat smooth and silky, to prevent the opponent from getting a firm grip on the fighter wearing them. Popular short styles come in an almost endless variety of colors and patterns, with words, shapes, designs, and other stylized decorations to add to the fighter’s look or persona.
If you’re considering purchasing Muay Thai shorts, whether to wear for authentic and traditional Muay fighting, or for use in mixed martial arts, you can expect to pay anywhere from $10 to $50. It really depends on what you’re looking for and how much you are willing to spend.
