Why Gyms Order Custom MMA Shorts
A gym that teaches multiple disciplines can outfit striking, grappling, and fitness students in the same custom design. A matching design gives a gym a consistent look across every class.
Fabric Weight
Most MMA shorts use a 4-way stretch polyester-elastane blend, and the weight (GSM) drives feel and durability.
- 220 GSM — the lightest option. Good for hot climates and competition weigh-ins.
- 240 GSM — the standard weight most gyms choose. Balanced durability for daily training.
- 260 GSM — heavier and more durable. Suited to intensive grappling and rough, high-volume training.
Inseam Length
- 7–8 inches — the shortest option, giving maximum leg freedom for kicking. Common for Muay Thai and kickboxing.
- 9–10 inches — the standard length for general MMA and mixed training.
- 11–13 inches — a longer length preferred by grapplers who want more coverage during ground work.
Waistband and Closures
Most shorts use a velcro-plus-drawstring closure. A velcro-only closure is common in competition-style shorts. A traditional tie-only closure is the classic Muay Thai style.
Printing Method
Full sublimation printing is the standard for custom MMA shorts, supporting detailed graphics that don't crack or peel. Screen printing is cheaper but limited to simple logos in a few colors.
Ordering Process
- Initial contact — share your gym name, rough quantity, style preference (board-short, vale tudo, or hybrid), and any logo files.
- Design mockup — a visual mockup within a couple of days, with revisions included.
- Quote and deposit — a written, itemized quote and a partial deposit, often 50%.
- Production — typically two to three weeks.
- Pre-shipment approval — photos of finished units before they ship.
- Delivery and inspection — check unit count, sizing, and construction as soon as the order arrives.
Care Instructions
- Wash in cold water. Hot water damages the elastane.
- Turn them inside out before washing to protect the print.
- Air-dry instead of using a machine dryer.
- Wash promptly after training, which also matters for general hygiene.
