Shop our range of authentic Muay Thai shorts from leading Thai brands including Twins Special, Fairtex and Top King.
Designed for the freedom of movement needed for kicks and knees, our Thai boxing shorts are available in a wide range of traditional, retro and modern designs for training and fighting.
Traditional Muay Thai shorts are built specifically for Thai boxing.
Unlike standard gym shorts, they typically feature shorter, wider legs to give you plenty of freedom through the hips when throwing kicks, knees and teeps.
At Nak Muay Training, we stock authentic Thai boxing shorts from established Muay Thai brands including Twins Special, Fairtex and Top King, with designs ranging from traditional Thai styles to more modern and understated options.
Fit comes first.
Your shorts should stay securely around your waist without restricting your hips or legs when you're training.
After that, it's mostly personal preference.
Different Thai brands have their own cuts, sizing and designs, so we'd recommend checking the individual product size guide rather than assuming your normal UK clothing size will be the same.
Twins Special produces traditional Thai boxing shorts in a wide range of colours and designs.
They're a good option if you want authentic Thai-made shorts from one of the most established names in Muay Thai equipment.
Fairtex offers a large range of Muay Thai shorts, including traditional designs alongside more modern cuts and distinctive limited styles.
If you already train with Fairtex equipment or simply prefer their designs, there's plenty to choose from.
Top King is another established Thai combat sports brand producing shorts specifically for Muay Thai training and fighting.
Their range is worth considering if you want traditional Thai styling with plenty of freedom for kicking and kneeing.

Muay Thai shorts generally sit higher around the waist than normal gym shorts and have wider openings around the legs.
That's intentional.
The cut gives your hips enough room to rotate properly when kicking without the material pulling against your legs.
They should feel secure around your waist but shouldn't restrict your movement.
If you can't comfortably throw a head kick in them, something's gone wrong.
Thai sizing can differ from standard UK clothing sizes, and sizing can also vary between brands.
Always check the measurements provided on the individual product page before ordering.
Pay particular attention to the waistband and how you prefer your shorts to fit.
If you're between sizes, sizing up can sometimes provide a more comfortable fit, but use the specific brand's measurements rather than relying on a general rule.
The same pair of shorts can generally be used for pad work, bag training, sparring and fighting.
You don't need separate shorts for each type of training.
For competition, however, check whether your event or promotion has any requirements around colours, logos or other equipment.
For everyday gym training, choose something that fits properly, gives you unrestricted movement and that you actually like wearing.
There's not much more to overthink.
Muay Thai shorts are specifically designed for Thai boxing, usually featuring a secure waistband and short, wide-cut legs that provide freedom of movement for kicks and knees.
They should sit securely around your waist while leaving plenty of room around your hips and thighs. Muay Thai shorts are generally shorter and wider through the leg than normal sports shorts.
Check the size guide for the individual brand before ordering. Thai sizing can differ from standard UK sizing, and Twins Special, Fairtex and Top King may not fit exactly the same.
Of course. You don't need to reach a particular experience level before wearing Muay Thai shorts. They're simply sportswear designed specifically for the movements involved in Muay Thai.
Twins Special, Fairtex and Top King are all established Thai combat sports brands. Rather than choosing purely by brand, compare the fit, sizing and design you prefer.
