Something I’ve noticed when watching some MMA fighters is that some appear to be wearing wrong kind of MMA grappling shorts for their body type. What I basically mean is that their shorts do not fit their body which might hinder their performance.
For example a short stocky fighter who is wearing some long baggy shorts might experience slightly more difficulty when throwing a roundhouse kick. Reason being that the crotch or the shorts might be slightly lower causing his range of motion to be slightly hindered. While he might still be able to fully extend the kick, it might take him slightly longer to execute it since the shorts might hinder extension of the leg. This is the last thing you want to do since a split second might be the only thing your opponent needs to block or avoid the kick!
Therefore, in order to optimize your kicks be sure you have MMA grappling shorts that fit your body!
If you’re serious about competing in MMA, then you need to get yourself a serious pair of grappling shorts! The SPRAWL brand has been around for quite a while and has made a name for itself among the pros.

Outstanding for No-Gi BJJ
|
| Review Date: November 1, 2009 |
| Reviewer: M. Mumm, Texas |
| I bought these shorts months ago, and have been using them ever since. They're comfortable, well made, and generally perfect for no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The shorts have held up well over time, and I'd recommend them to anyone. |
Great shorts for grappling/jiu jitsu

| Review Date: January 14, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Tank Jitsu, |
| These are my 3rd pair of Sprawl shorts. My first shorts developed a slight tear after 7 years of heavy use. I still use those, plus 2 others that I recently bought. The durability is excellent, even the first shorts are still usable despite having the small tear. The short's flexibility allows for high kicks and bind free submissions. The only drawback is the price. But in this case you do get a very high quality fight short. |

Wearing these scream that your serious about MMA!
TapouT fight wear is one of the more popular MMA brands on the market. My first thought of these is that their Team Rampage Boardshorts are eye-catching.

Even if you’re not a fighter, these will make you look the part! Let us know what you think. If you have a pair be sure to give your take on them.
If you’re into camo, then then you should definitely take a look at these! I like camouflage outfits, and these shorts really grabbed my eye.

Product Description |
Camo gray fight shorts, ideal for submission wrestling and MMA. With a Spandex/Lycra flex panel running through the inside of the legs and groin, they stretch easily. These shorts are SUPER comfortable. It also means they don't have to be as "baggy" to allow the same freedom of movement.
They combine the look of board shorts with the feel of vale tudo shorts. They also have an internal drawstring, velcro closure on the front/fly.
These shorts are made of 80% polyester and 20% nylon. They are not "slick" (like 100% poly) nor "sticky" like a microfiber would be. The same pattern is on the back of the shorts too.
Why the heck are shorts this good this cheap?? Because, like all our gear, it's made just for us. No middleman, no giant marketing and sales staff, no giant affiliate program to support. We use this stuff too and roll our eyes at some of those prices. This is one time that you really do get the savings!

The shorts to get
|
| Review Date: May 12, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Mark D. Pananganan, SF Bay Area |
| I've been looking for a pair of MMA shorts for a couple of years now, but have been turned off by the cost of "quality" shorts. Who can justify spending $60+ on a pair of shorts!?! I'm so glad that I got this pair. Awesome bang-for-your-buck. They look great, are lightweight yet durable, and fit perfectly. I've used them for MMA, running, and weight training without a problem. I will definitely be getting another pair. Thanks, Piranha Gear, for making an affordable, well-made product! |
Very good pair of shorts, for price!

| Reviewer: Aaron T. Polk, Indianapolis, In |
| These shorts are very comfortable. The description does not say, but they do have the split sides for more room in the legs. The shorts are great but I believe the company who sells/makes them are even better. They went out of their way make sure I had a great experience with them, and I did. They worked hard to personalize my order. When you think a simple thank you would suffice, they thanked me three times. It was great. |
Awesome shorts

these are great for everyday training, both stand up and ground fighting they allow for great freedom of movement and look great...
and the customer service is AWESOME. |

Great shorts at an affordable price! So if you’re looking for something comfortable, and are not baggy then these might be just what you’re looking for.
While usually you see a lot of MMA trunks plastered with sponsor logos, they really are cool without all the logos! Let’s look at some basic black.

| Plain Black MMA Shorts |
| |
 |
|
| |
Product Description |
Black fight shorts, ideal for submission wrestling, MMA and even casual wear. Designed and cut for maximum comfort, these shorts feature split seams to allow total freedom of movement when grappling and kicking. Velcro system and inside tie for secure fit. Combine the look of board shorts with the feel of vale tudo shorts.
These have the Piranha Gear logo embroidered on the front leg and are blank on the back.
These shorts are made of 80% polyester and 20% nylon. They are not "slick" (like 100% poly) nor "sticky" like a microfiber would be.
The waist is NOT elastic, so be sure to measure your actual waist size before ordering. These are a looser or "baggy" cut, so you shouldn't need to get a larger size for any reason. If anything, you'd want to go with a smaller size if you want them to fit more snug.
