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

The Mid-Thigh cut ends above the knee and works for both striking and grappling. The Full-Length cut extends to the knee, providing more coverage against mat burns on the lower leg. The 3/4 Thigh cut is between the two. All three use the same fabric and construction.

Can I use these shorts for BJJ no-gi training?

Yes — the Hayabusa Apex Mid-Thigh Fight Shorts are one of the most popular choices for no-gi BJJ training. The waistband stays secure during guard work and takedowns, and the stretch fabric allows full-range guard and passing movements without restriction.

How do I size these fight shorts?

Hayabusa fight shorts are sized S through 2XL by waist measurement. The dual-closure waistband (velcro + drawstring) provides some adjustability within each size. When between sizes, go up for more comfort during ground work.

Are these suitable for Muay Thai training?

Yes — the Apex Mid-Thigh Fight Shorts work for Muay Thai bag work and pad sessions. For traditional Muay Thai sparring with full-hip-extension round kicks, the Hayabusa Core Muay Thai Shorts or Icon Kickboxing Shorts (wide satin cut) allow more hip extension specific to Muay Thai technique.
