Fight shorts should be engineered for performance, durability and complete design freedom — not adapted from off-the-shelf stock. Our Custom Fight Shorts UK service gives gyms, teams and individual fighters full control over cut, fabric choice and branding placement. Every pair is manufactured in-house at our Aylesbury workshop, ensuring consistent quality, accurate panel alignment and professional finishing.

Rather than modifying pre-made garments, we build custom fight shorts UK from raw performance fabric through a fully sublimated production process. This allows unlimited design detail without cracking, peeling or fading over time. Standard turnaround is 3–5 working days from artwork approval and payment confirmation, with express options available when required. Whether you need a single competition-ready pair or a structured team run, your shorts are produced locally with repeatable standards and no overseas delays.


Which Shorts Do You Need?

“Fight shorts” and “MMA shorts” describe the same garment for most people, and we build them either way. The real choice is whether you want a compression liner built in.

Custom MMA fight shorts — from £60

The classic cut. Four-way stretch panels and a full range of movement, worn over your own compression shorts or on their own. This is what most fighters and gyms order for day-to-day training and competition.

2-in-1 dual layer shorts — from £70

An outer short with the compression liner sewn in as one garment, so there is no separate base layer to pack, ride up or lose. Built for fight camp and competition where kit has to stay put. See 2-in-1 dual layer shorts.

BJJ and no-gi grappling shorts

For BJJ and no-gi, what matters is what the short does not have: no zips, no pockets, no rivets to catch on the mat or on an opponent. Ours are built that way as standard, with a flat drawstring, bonded seams and a cut that lets you shoot, sprawl and play guard without the hem riding up. If you compete under no-gi rules, tell us the length you need and we will cut the pattern to suit. Academies usually order them alongside matching spats and rashguards — see BJJ team kits for full squad runs.

After a specific discipline cut instead? We also build vale tudo shorts, Muay Thai shorts and boxing shorts.


Built for Grappling, MMA & Combat Training

Our custom fight shorts are designed for:

  • BJJ and No-Gi competitors
  • MMA fighters
  • Grapplers and wrestlers
  • Gyms and academies
  • Fightwear brands

Lightweight, durable and cut for movement, they are designed to handle scrambles, sprawls and constant mat friction. Because we manufacture in-house, every seam and panel is placed with purpose.  These shorts are often paired with custom rashguards and custom spats for No-Gi training, MMA sessions and competition use.  Some athletes also rotate these with Vale Tudo shorts depending on training style and competition format.

50/50 SG Competition Shorts


Fully Sublimated. Built From Fabric Roll.

Every pair begins as raw performance fabric. We do not print onto pre-made stock shorts. Instead, we sublimate directly into the fibres before cutting and sewing.

  • High-performance polyester blend
  • Lightweight competition-ready construction
  • 4-way stretch where required
  • Reinforced stress-point stitching
  • Secure waistband with drawstring closure
  • Men’s, women’s and youth sizing available

Because colour is embedded into the fabric, designs do not crack, peel or fade. What you approve is what you receive — and what we can reproduce consistently on future orders.

Fight Shorts Reinforced Finish


Designed for Durability & Movement

Fight shorts must move without restriction while holding up under pressure. We control seam placement, panel structure and stitch integrity internally. Consequently, each pair is built for hard training, not light wear.

Patterns and specifications are stored. Reorders remain consistent. Construction does not drift between batches.


One-Off Pieces or Structured Runs

We manufacture both single custom builds and larger team or brand production runs.

  • No minimum order for one-off pieces
  • Bulk production available for gyms and brands
  • Fast UK restocks without container delays
  • Direct communication with the production team

Production begins once artwork is approved and payment is cleared.


Custom Fight Shorts FAQs

Are these suitable for MMA and No-Gi competition? Yes. Our custom fight shorts are built for grappling, MMA and high-intensity training. The cut allows unrestricted movement for sprawls, scrambles and striking.

Do the shorts have stretch panels? Yes. We incorporate 4-way stretch sections where required to maximise mobility without compromising durability.

What waistband system do you use? Our fight shorts feature a secure elastic waistband with internal drawstring closure to keep the shorts stable during training and competition.

Will the design crack or fade? No. All graphics are fully sublimated into the fabric fibres, meaning they will not peel, crack or fade over time.

How long does production take? Standard production time is 3–5 working days from artwork approval and payment confirmation. Express options may be available depending on current workshop capacity.

Do you offer bulk or team pricing? Yes. Structured pricing is available for gym runs, fight teams, brand production and trade partners. Final quotes are based on garment specification and order volume.

Can repeat orders match exactly? Yes. We retain patterns, sizing breakdowns and artwork files to ensure consistent reorders with the same construction and finish.
