Frequently Asked Questions

What makes mid-thigh the most versatile fight short length?

Mid-thigh is the standard length used across MMA, BJJ, and kickboxing. It's long enough to not interfere with high kicks and provides modest coverage for ground work, while staying out of the way during grappling exchanges. The 3/4 Thigh variant adds more knee coverage for mat burn protection — but for fighters balancing both striking and grappling, mid-thigh hits the sweet spot.

What is the sizing guide?

Waist sizes: S fits 28–30 inches, M fits 30–32 inches, L fits 32–34 inches, XL fits 34–36 inches, 2XL fits 36–38 inches, and 3XL fits 38–40 inches. Use both the hook-and-loop and internal drawstring for a secure fit that stays in place during takedowns and clinch work.

How do the Core shorts hold up compared to higher-end Hayabusa fight shorts?

The Core line is built using the same flatlock seam construction and dual-closure waistband principles as Hayabusa's premium fight shorts, prioritizing daily durability at a lower price point. The performance fabric and secure waistband handle hard training sessions reliably. Higher-end models add premium stretch panels and more refined design details.

Are these competition legal for no-gi BJJ?

Yes — Hayabusa Core fight shorts are appropriate for no-gi BJJ and MMA grappling events. Confirm any specific colour or length requirements with your event before competing, as rules vary across organizations.
