About the Kickboxing Shorts

The difference between kickboxing shorts and boxing shorts comes down to one thing: the side split. Kickboxing shorts are cut shorter with a deeper vent up each side, so a head kick or a high round kick meets no fabric resistance at the top of its arc.

If you have ever thrown a high kick in ordinary shorts and felt the hem pull against your thigh mid-motion, you already know why this cut exists. Made in lightweight breathable polyester with a wide elasticated waistband, sized S to XL.

Who needs this cut

Anyone who kicks. Kickboxers, Muay Thai practitioners, MMA fighters and karate athletes doing continuous sparring all benefit from the deeper split.

It is also the sensible default if your gym runs mixed classes. Kickboxing shorts are perfectly acceptable for boxing training, but boxing shorts genuinely restrict high kicks — so if you are buying one pair to cover everything, buy this one.

Fit

The waistband should sit at or just above the navel and stay put through a full round without needing adjustment. The leg should hang clear of your thigh with no tension when you raise your knee to your chest.

Test them properly before you commit: stand up, bring one knee as high as it will go, then throw a slow round kick. If you feel the fabric anywhere in that range of motion, size up.

Care

Cold wash inside out, hang dry, no tumble dryer. Heat perishes the waistband elastic and dulls the fabric finish.

Pay attention to the stitching at the top of each side split — that is the highest-stress point on the garment and where wear shows first. Complete your kit with groin protection and shin guards for sparring.

Common questions

What is the difference between kickboxing and boxing shorts?

Kickboxing shorts are cut shorter with deeper side splits so high kicks are unrestricted. Boxing shorts sit longer with a higher waistband and will pull against your thigh on a high kick.

Can I wear kickboxing shorts for boxing?

Yes. Kickboxing shorts are fine for boxing training. The reverse is not true — boxing shorts restrict high kicks. If you are buying one pair for mixed classes, choose the kickboxing cut.

What size kickboxing shorts do I need?

Sizes run S to XL. Test the fit by raising one knee as high as it will go and throwing a slow round kick — if you feel fabric tension anywhere in that motion, size up.

Are these suitable for Muay Thai?

Yes. The shorter cut with deep side splits is the standard requirement for Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA striking training.
