Sanabul Essential MMA Shorts for Men Boxing No Gi Jiu Jitsu Grappling BJJ Shorts

Ordered for a gift, ended up returning the first pair, as he was right on the border of sizes and the first size I ordered was slightly big. The free returns really came in handy for trying them out. These are best worn fitted so if you are at the edge of a size, order a size down. They run just a little loose. The velcro closure doesn't come undone even in heavy sparring sessions or workouts. The material is very flexible yet appears durable, and very cool as well. The design is basic (unlike many other MMA shorts) so can be paired with most workout gear. Overall, this short was about half the price of most MMA gear around, and was truely a better fit, and as well made as the expensive stuff. I love all the sanabul gear that I've purchased so far, wish they would expand their line of MMA and BJJ gear.

Used for 1 month, three times a week for both jiu jitsu and muay thai and still looks like newI'm 5'8 and my waist (defined as below my belly button where I wear the shorts) is 30 inches. I bought size 32 because I wanted extra room. The drawstring + Velcro can make it very tight. This also gives me the flexibility to bulk up in winter time.Women/Female: My wife has worn these shorts for a few classes, she's 5'2, 110 lbs, waist around belly button 30 inches and these fit her as well. They are longer on her, and she can still do kicks in them.Sizing: It's hard to go wrong with sizing because of the drawstring, there's flexibility. If you wear old navy pants, get the same size as you would there. The velcro is also added security to keep the pants snug.Durability: These shorts are very strong. I have performed kicks, rolled around and done grappling with these. I've had people pull on these shorts and they seem to be pretty resilient.Flexibility: I'm able to move well in these shorts. They do not restrict my movement.Washing: I've washed these in the heavy cycle in the washer and then thrown it in the dryer. They have not shrunk.Material : 100% polyester. They are lightweight and let air in. Martial arts is a sweaty sport and I like wearing this material.Brand: Most of my martial arts stuff is from the sanabul brand. In general they make good quality, affordable products.

I will preface this by saying I only just got into martial arts; I train in Krav Maga and boxing 2-3 times a week. These are great shorts at a really low price point. However, as other customers have mentioned about this company, they are lacking quality control. I ordered one pair of these that looked great. Upon further inspection, some stitching on the inside wasn't complete so I sent them back. I ordered the same pair (same color same size) and had a similar experience, but the stitching is on the velcro on the inside so it doesn't appear that it will be an issue. Other than that, these shorts are great. They are stretchy and thick to the point where they are really comfortable but seem like they will hold up over time. Think heavy-duty board shorts. These would have gotten 5 stars if not for the manufacturing issue.

UPDATED- Sanabul reached out and sent a new pair. No issues with the second one. They are comfortable and I am happy with my purchase.These shorts are comfortable and fit nicely. When I got them, I was surprised how nice they seemed.Unfortunately after only one easy session, threads are already coming loose at the seams. I couldunderstand it if I had been going hard or something, but I was really just working on form and already there are issues.

Rumor has it, these shorts actually make you better at Jiu Jitsu, now the caveat is that you have to train consistently. They are super comfortable and come with a thick drawstring to insure you don't get depantsed from those ornery black belts. Very durable, I roll multiple times per week in these shorts and they hold up to tough rounds, frequent washing, and a lot of sweat. Disclaimer: they don't prevent leglocks or make you any better at takedowns

Here's my comments on this product:The fit: Waist fit as described, length of the shorts is shorter than expected but still a comfortable fit. I wear a 32 in most brands and the size 32 fit perfectly in the waist. I would compare the length of the shorts to that of soccer shorts more so than longer board shorts.The quality of material: This material seems to be very good quality. It is a thicker material with good stitching at the seems but still has a good stretch to it. Feels like these will stand up to training pretty well, but only time can tell.I intend to use these for No-Gi jiu jitsu training and kickboxing and so far i think they will be perfect for these activities. Plenty of mobility in them, comfortable to move around in, and seem to have solid craftsmanship with quality material. Very please.

I've used these for about a month, worn maybe 10 times.Good-Material feels nice and durable.-i ordered a 32 waist and the waist fit great.Bad-stiching holding the velcro on the shorts ripped loose in about a 2 inch section the last day I wore them-even though the waist is the right size, if you lift and work your glutes or if your girl says you have a nice butt then these shorts are going to be too tight around the butt/upper thigh section. It's not tight on your legs it's just tight at the mid point of the shorts.-because of that tightness they ride up when you are moving making you constantly have to pull them down.

They feel very. I like the strings. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong color.
