What is the difference between the 3/4 Thigh and Mid-Thigh Core fight shorts?

The 3/4 Thigh shorts extend just past the knee for maximum mat burn protection on leg takedowns and guard work. The Mid-Thigh shorts sit higher — like traditional fight shorts — offering slightly more freedom for high kicks. If you spend significant time on the mat or train on rough surfaces where knee scrapes are common, the 3/4 Thigh is the better choice. For mixed MMA and BJJ use where kicking range is a priority, the Mid-Thigh is more versatile.

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 clinch work and takedowns.

Can I use fight shorts for BJJ competition?

Yes — Hayabusa fight shorts are suitable for no-gi BJJ competitions, MMA sparring, and kickboxing training. Always confirm your event's specific rules, as some competitions have guidelines on shorts length, colour, or branding.

Are the Core shorts suitable for Muay Thai training?

These shorts work for Muay Thai drilling and sparring, but the split-hem leg cut can restrict hip rotation on high roundhouse kicks compared to the wide-cut Hayabusa Core Muay Thai Shorts, which are specifically designed for Muay Thai's kicking demands.
