Selecting the right kind of MMA Shorts is essential. Fight Shorts, Board Shorts, Grappling Shorts, Muay Thai Shorts- if you are a fighter, you need to get the right kind of shorts for the type of fighting you will be doing. Features can be the most important thing to look for.

Split Outer Seam

When grappling or kicking, a split outer seam allows unrestricted movement. In the heat of battle you don’t want your legs getting bound up in your shorts when you are rolling and you sure don’t want you kick hindered either.

Fabric

The fabric, believe it or not, is also very important. Micro-Fiber (a fancy name for Polyester) is probably the best material. It is very smooth and does not bind. Unlike cotton, once it gets wet from sweat it will not stick plus cotton absorbs and gets stiff. Polyester repels and remains smooth on the skin.

Adjustable Waist Band

When you go down to the ground, a tight fit in the waist is important. Almost all MMA shorts have a draw string and some have a rubber-like inner waist band. This grips the waist, keeping the shorts from spinning around on you!

Coolness Factor

OK. Yes, MMA shorts have to look cool too. The days of dorky speedo-types are almost over… There are about a billion short makers out there and a few make good performing shorts that look cool too!

Length and Baggy

The longer shorts are and the more stylish and the less baggy- the less nerdy you look. You need to consider the longer the shorts and the tighter- the more they are going to slow you down. With baggy shorts, you will have a greater range of motion when grappling. Try to find something in between.

Inner Leg Seam

When competing, you need to give yourself every advantage. You can even take a small thing like the inner seam of your shorts and make it an advantage. There are now shorts, like Century’s, that are not only more breathable, but also have some grip. When in the guard position you can get a better grip on your opponent.

The trio equaling the TapouT Crew – Mask (RIP Charles), PunkAss and SkySkrape – are no strangers to the fanfare surrounding the infamous sport of MMA and are never too shy to strike their notorious poses with fight-frenzied fans.  The TapouT Crew has been an important factor in the growth of this great sport, as can be seen through their various sponsorships, from fighters, to events, to The Ultimate Fighter reality series on Spike TV.  As the premiere lifestyle brand of the MMA world, TapouT undoubtedly corners the competition- in and out of the octagon!

TapouT is an American business enterprise specializing in producing clothing and miscellaneous gear targeted at the mixed martial arts community, as well as a magazine devoted to mixed martial arts fighting (formerly Bodyguard magazine).  Charles Lewis, Jr. (also known as “Mask”) and Dan Caldwell(also known as “PunkAss”) founded the company in 1997 in San Bernardino, California.  On March 11, 2009 Charles Lewis, Jr. was killed in his Ferrari in a high-speed automobile collision in Newport Beach, California.  The company is currently based in Grand Terrace.  From a gross of $30,000 in 1999, TapouT’s earnings rose to $100 million in 2008.  The company has a worldwide network of licensed retailers, including Dillard’s and Champs.

As the energy is escalating around the MMA culture, TapouT is taking on a life of its own with an attitude so American and Arrogant that the demand for the brand has gone global.  “The TapouT phenomenon can’t be explained easily.  TapouT is here to help bring the sport to its rightful place of world domination, and our products are just an extension of that,” says TapouT’s ringleader Mask.  TapouT is the most recognized and fastest growing clothing line to come out of Mixed Martial Arts.  The ubiquitous logo-blazen tee shirt that made TapouT a madhouse-hold name can now be purchased in over 20,000 retail stores worldwide (not including online), along with a full line of fighter gear, men’s, women’s, youth and accessories.  Exciting, Cocky, Brilliant!  That is what’s being screamed about TapouT!
