Mixed Martial Arts
developed mainly in Thailand around 2000 BC. The techniques and skills developed
for hand to hand combat later took the form of sport after the inclusion of
machines in warfare. During 1990’s, this sport got popularity in Japan and
United States. Many companies are making its gear. MMA shorts are
integral part of your MMA gear. The features to consider while choosing a pair
of shorts are
Stretch Panels
Any brand of MMA
shorts will have stretch panels inside shorts leg. Stretch panels are
usually made with spandex. This feature saves shorts from tearing and ripping.
Shorts with stretch panels are more comfortable than those without this feature
as the panel expands when pressure is applied.
Split Seams
MMA shorts are available
with split seam. Length of the seams varies with the type of the short. Split
seams provide comfort and allow mobility with no hindrance.
Dual Velcro Fastening
MMA shorts mainly come with a Velcro fastening strip
on the front of the shorts and a horizontal on the front of the waistband. This
type of fastening makes sure your shorts are secured to their max. Secondly,
the concealed drawstring cannot be loosened or pulled.
Material
Shorts are made with
lightweight, breathable and quick drying material with antimicrobial abilities.
Antimicrobial feature reduces development of bacteria and stink.
Rubberized Waistband
Inner rubberized
waistband comes in expensive shorts. This feature helps in reducing shifts and
providing extra grip around the waist.
