Kickboxing Essentials: Stylish and Functional Shorts

Muay Thai is a high-energy activity where you want to give your best best and look your best, so a stylish pair of shorts can really boost your self-confidence and your performance. This article explains what to look for in a well-designed, functional pair of Muay Thai shorts and the differences between kickboxing shorts and Muay Thai shorts.

Comfort and Functionality

For kickboxers, comfort is the most important thing when they train or fight. Although kickboxing shorts and Muay Thai shorts may look the same, there are slight differences in them

Kickboxing Shorts

Kickboxing shorts are usually made in a polyester satin or polyester silk fabric. It’s very lightweight and soft against the skin. The waistband is wide and elasticated with an inner drawstring to tighten or loosen the waistband. The legs of kickboxing shorts are longer and wider than the legs of Muay Thai shorts so the shorts have a looser fit than that of Muay Thai shorts. The extra width in the legs allows for high kicks and knee kicks.

Traditionally kickboxing shorts colours are made red, white or black fabric.

Muay Thai Kickboxing Shorts

Thai kickboxing shorts are usually made in polyester silk, polyester satin and sometimes in nylon and have the same type of waistband used for kickboxing shorts. What makes them unique is their short leg length, much shorter than that of kickboxing shorts and more closely fitting cut. It allows for freedom of movement, making it easy for practitioners to kick without any issues.

Fabric

Polyester silk and polyester satin fabric  is used for both types of shorts,  chosen because it is light, smooth, comfortable against the skin, lets air flow through it and it does a good job of wicking away sweat.

Design Elements

The bold designs of Muay Thai shorts way reflect the history and spirit of Muay Thai. Some practitioners like their shorts design to include Thai lettering and symbols  such as a lion in bright shades of red and gold. The dramatic colors and complex patterns in these designs not only catch the eye, but they also give off an air of energy and movement.  Aside from how it looks, the bold design can add to the practitioners confidence levels.

Versatility

The shorts made for Kickboxing and Muay Thai kickboxing can be used for other forms of exercise but remember they are made specifically for one sport, so don’t expect them to be the best choice for other sports. They’re great for sports that need quickness and agility because they fit well, let air flow, and are durable. On the downside, the fabric does not stretch so they do have limitations for some activities.

Conclusion

Wearing a good pair of kickboxing shorts or Muay Thai shorts can help you train better, add to your confidence levels and enjoy training more, just for the fact that you feel comfortable. So, whether you’re training seriously or enjoying a workout with friends. the right shorts can make a positive difference to your training results.
