MMA Shorts & Fight Shorts – LEONE1947 for MMA, Grappling & Training
Mixed Martial Arts combines striking, wrestling, grappling and ground fighting. This makes clothing that allows fast movements, kicks, takedowns and ground work especially important. At Leone Sport Switzerland, you will find LEONE1947 MMA shorts, fight shorts and compression shorts for MMA, grappling and intensive combat sports training.
From classic fight shorts to close-fitting compression shorts, LEONE1947 offers functional MMA clothing for different types of training.
Fight Shorts for MMA
Fight shorts are a classic part of MMA clothing. Unlike regular leisure shorts, they are designed for the dynamic movements required in Mixed Martial Arts.
MMA constantly switches between stand-up fighting and ground work. Kicks, knees, takedowns, position changes and grappling therefore require shorts that provide plenty of freedom of movement.
LEONE1947 fight shorts combine these athletic requirements with the brand's distinctive Italian design.
Find suitable equipment in our MMA – Mixed Martial Arts category.
Compression Shorts for MMA & Grappling
Compression shorts are worn close to the body and are particularly suitable for grappling, ground training, MMA and intensive workouts.
Their close-fitting design helps keep the clothing in place during fast movements and position changes.
Depending on your training, compression shorts can be worn on their own or underneath fight shorts.
Find suitable tops in our Combat Sports Tops & Rashguards category.
What Is the Difference Between Fight Shorts and Compression Shorts?
Fight shorts are traditional MMA training shorts designed to provide plenty of freedom of movement for both stand-up fighting and ground work.
Compression shorts fit closely to the body and are particularly suitable for grappling, ground training or as functional training clothing underneath another pair of shorts.
Which option is best depends on your training and your gym's requirements.
MMA Shorts for Striking & Grappling
MMA combines techniques from several combat sports, including boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Your clothing therefore needs to accommodate a wide range of movements.
For striking training, you can also find Boxing Gloves and Shin & Foot Protection.
For MMA training itself, suitable MMA gloves and additional equipment are available in our MMA – Mixed Martial Arts category.
What MMA Clothing Do Beginners Need?
If you are new to MMA, you do not need to buy a complete set of equipment immediately. What you need depends heavily on your gym and the type of training.
Typical beginner equipment may include:
- Fight shorts or suitable training shorts
- Rashguard or functional sports top
- MMA gloves
- Mouthguard
- Groin protection
- Depending on the training, boxing gloves and shin guards
It is always best to ask your coach which equipment is required for your first training sessions.
Suitable protective gear is available in our Protective Equipment category.
Fight Shorts or Muay Thai Shorts?
MMA fight shorts and Muay Thai shorts are designed for different requirements.
Muay Thai shorts are traditionally short and wide, allowing plenty of freedom for kicks and knee techniques.
Fight shorts must additionally accommodate wrestling and grappling movements and are therefore designed for the varied demands of MMA.
For Muay Thai and kickboxing, discover our Muay Thai & Kickboxing Shorts.
Choosing the Right Size for MMA Shorts
Fight shorts should fit securely without restricting your movement during kicks, takedowns or ground work.
Compression shorts, on the other hand, are intentionally designed to fit close to the body.
As cuts and fits vary between models, always check the size information on the individual product page before ordering.
Technical Clothing for MMA
Alongside fight shorts and compression shorts, functional clothing plays an important role in MMA training.
Rashguards and technical tops are particularly suitable for intensive training sessions and ground work.
