Muay Thai Muay Thai is commonly referred to as the "science of eight limbs," and is Thailand's national sport. Muay Thai is derived from the hand-to-hand aspect of the ancient Siamese art known as, "Krabi Krabong;" and was once performed for the entertainment of the King of Siam. Muay Thai is known for its distinct rituals, incredible conditioning, devastating round (Thai) kicks and the merciless use of knees and elbows.

MT shorts

just wondering what shorts you guys prefer more and why. i hear the fairtex are a lil bit wider and bigger vs thaismai and inter. also, where do you get them from? i'm looking to pick up a pair, but from what i see the only place to get them is online. as always, thanks for whatever info you guys can share.

Shorts

I love the ones from FBT but I haven't found a good way to order them other than having my instructor pick them up when he's in Thailand. If anybody knows a good way to order those online please share!

I bought 6 pairs of shorts while in Thailand and I like them all. 3 are from Fairtex and the rest just various camps/companies. I got a nice red pair of Lumpini shorts, Fairtex logo shorts, big happy face on the crotch shorts, WMTA shorts, WMTC shorts and Red bull shorts. Some places in Thailand sell Thai sizes (which means if you were medium you are suddenly large or xl) but some sell US sizes. Maybe before I go down next time I'll get a list from you guys on shorts to buy for everyone and make a mail order business out of it! haha

I think that's a matter of personal choice for alot of North American Muay Thai adademys.... in Thailand they are very short, for me personally they are half thigh, in the States I have seen them go all the way down to the knee.

Re: MT shorts

I was bad, I went the easy way, and ordered a pair off Ebay. But hey, at least the seller is from Bangkok, and they custom make them according to your wishes, colors, stripes, design, and choice of lettering, can't go wrong with that. They turned out really cool, and I can almost garauntee nobody has the same ones.

I've used Muaythai, Masterline (from Thailand) and Ringside brands. The main difference was comfort. The Masterline were always stiff no matter how much they were used and washed. The other two are very comfortable and roomy.

Re: MT shorts

I just wish i knew what some of the writing on the shorts means. I would hate to buy a pair that says something like "fairy boxer"

Re: MT shorts

You know, I was just thinking about this the other day after a friend of mine showed me a Web site of people who've gotten tattoos in Japanese/Chinese/Thai/etc., unknowing that they have "crazy diarrhea" or "healthy woman flow" written across their chest. At least you don't have to wear the shorts.
