What is the benefit of full-length fight shorts over mid-thigh?

Full-length shorts extend to just above the knee, providing additional leg coverage during ground work. This reduces mat burns and friction abrasions on the lower thigh and knee area — a significant benefit for wrestlers, BJJ grapplers, and MMA fighters who spend substantial time in takedown and ground positions. Mid-thigh shorts allow more air circulation and are preferred for stand-up striking focused training.

Are these shorts suitable for BJJ no-gi competition?

Yes — the Core Full-Length Fight Shorts are appropriate for no-gi BJJ competition. The full-length cut provides coverage against mat friction, and the dual-closure waistband stays secure during rolling. Check the specific competition rules for any grappling event regarding approved shorts designs and lengths.

How does the dual-closure waistband work?

The waistband uses both a hook-and-loop (velcro) outer closure and an internal drawstring. The velcro provides a firm outer closure for impact resistance during striking, and the drawstring allows fine-tuned tightening for ground work and grappling. Together they provide a more secure fit than single-closure shorts.

How do I care for these fight shorts?

Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect the print. The shorts are tumble dry safe. Close the velcro waistband closure before washing to prevent it catching on other fabrics. Wash after every training session.
