Top King is an established Thai combat sports brand producing equipment for Muay Thai, boxing and kickboxing.
Alongside its popular gloves and shin guards, Top King Muay Thai shorts are designed specifically for the movements involved in Thai boxing.
Their short, wide-legged construction gives you plenty of room through the hips and thighs when throwing kicks, knees and teeps.
Good Muay Thai shorts should be comfortable, secure around the waist and stay out of your way when you're training.

Once you've got the fit right, choosing between the different designs mostly comes down to personal preference.
Muay Thai shorts are deliberately cut differently from normal sports shorts.
They're generally shorter and wider around the legs, giving your hips enough freedom to rotate properly when kicking.
The waistband should sit securely without feeling overly tight, while the legs should allow you to kick freely without the material pulling against your thighs.
Don't assume your normal UK clothing size will translate directly to Top King shorts.
Thai combat sports sizing can differ, so always check the measurements provided on the individual product page before ordering.
Pay particular attention to the waistband measurement and consider how tightly you prefer your shorts to fit.
The same pair of Top King shorts can generally be used for pads, bag work, sparring and competition.
