Hayabusa Hex Mid-Thigh MMA Shorts – Grappling & Fight Training Shorts

The Hayabusa Hex Mid-Thigh MMA Shorts bring the Hexagon design to a mid-thigh cut — providing the stretch and performance of the full Hexagon line in a shorter, more traditional fight-shorts profile. The stretch-woven hex-print fabric, dual-closure waistband, and reinforced seams make it equally effective for cage work, grappling, and kickboxing rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Hex Mid-Thigh Shorts and the standard Hexagon MMA Shorts?

The primary difference is cut length. The Hexagon MMA Shorts are a longer, more traditional board-short profile that extends past mid-thigh. The Hex Mid-Thigh Shorts are cut to end at approximately mid-thigh, which is the standard profile favoured in competitive MMA and cage fighting. Both use the same hex-print four-way stretch fabric, dual-closure waistband, and split-hem design. The choice comes down to preferred length and fight-style aesthetic.

Will the split-hem design help with high kicks?

Yes — the split hem opens vertically on the outer sides of each leg during kicks, removing the fabric tension that restricts leg height. Without a split hem, the hem creates resistance at full extension. The split design eliminates this restriction while maintaining a clean, fitted look when not kicking.

Are these shorts suitable for BJJ no-gi training?

Yes — MMA shorts with four-way stretch and reinforced flatlock seams are appropriate for BJJ no-gi training. Some practitioners prefer tighter vale tudo compression shorts for no-gi to eliminate grippable fabric. If you prefer a traditional loose short for no-gi grappling, the Hex Mid-Thigh Shorts are an excellent option.

How do I care for these shorts?

Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle. The shorts are tumble dry safe, though air drying extends the lifespan of the stretch fabric. Wash inside out to protect the hex-print pattern and sublimated colours. Do not iron directly on printed or laser-cut panel areas.
