What is the difference between Full-Length, 3/4 Thigh, and Mid-Thigh fight shorts?

Mid-thigh is the classic MMA fight short cut — a versatile length for both striking and grappling. The 3/4 Thigh extends just past the knee for added mat burn protection. The Full-Length Apex covers most of the upper leg down to the knee for maximum ground coverage. Choose full-length if you train on rough surfaces, spend significant time in bottom guard positions, or want maximum mat burn protection during intensive drilling.

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, and 2XL fits 36–38 inches. Use both the hook-and-loop and internal drawstring for a secure fit during takedowns and clinch exchanges.

Are these competition legal for no-gi BJJ?

Yes — the Apex Full-Length Fight Shorts are built to competition standards and appropriate for no-gi BJJ, MMA, and grappling events. Always verify your specific event's rules on shorts length — some competitions have minimum or maximum length requirements.

Can I use full-length fight shorts for striking and kickboxing?

Yes — the split-hem design and four-way stretch fabric allow unrestricted leg extension for kicks. The slightly longer cut does not inhibit hip rotation. For dedicated Muay Thai training where maximum hip freedom is critical, the wide-cut Hayabusa Core Muay Thai Shorts are purpose-designed for the sport.
