looking for Muay Thai Shorts made from cotton or other materials?


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, 

I am in search of some muay thai shorts that were made out of something other than the standard materials. I train in colder facilities lol so i get cold and was thinking shorts could be warmer lol

my kru wants us to wear shorts when its cold so i was thinking i could pick up a pair of thick shorts. Since I have been searchign I have found nothing. 

 

Do any of you know where I could find shorts made of cotton or GI material or get this custom made?

 

OR, do any of you know where to get the stitch pattern for some shorts - then I could try and make them myself.

 

Thanks!!

I have never heard of thai short made out of cotton, but why not just order some long leggings instead and wear them under instead of usual compression shorts? Could be an easier option, I've done that myself before and seen plenty of guys do the same.

I suspect you're going to have to have them custom made if you want anything other than "satin" or nylon. The "satin" ones are shiny and much thicker than the nylon style, so if you guys currently are using nylon I'd recommend finding the "satin" ones. I personally advise against GI material as the thickness will make it not move with you and you'll get chafing on your thighs or wherever else.

Hi Mike Lebek

If you are in search of some Muay Thai Shorts that were made out of something other than the standard materials, I might help you.

 

Actually, I have not heard shorts made of cotton or GI material but I know an online store where you can buy all types of shorts, and the shorts you are talking about. Visit this Site: http://www.muaythaiaddict.com/shorts.html

 

Because I am also addicted of muay thai shorts and I suggest you to visit this site and definitely you will get your choice of shorts.

 

Thanks.

    • Hi everyone,   I’m 22, currently finishing my Master's in IT in France, but honestly, I feel like my life is aimless right now. I’m stuck in a bubble of comfort and I need to see the world for what it really is. I want to build a real physical and mental discipline and reconnect with nature. I'm planning to leave on March for a month (or more) of total immersion in Thailand to practice Muay Thaï. I already have few month of experience but I’m still a full beginner. I’m torn between two options and would love your advice:   1. Look Nungubon (Ubon): I love the family vibe and the authenticity of the gym. It feels like the "real deal," but it's in a city neighborhood (no nature) and I've heard they only do one formal training session a day.     2. Kem Muay Thai (Khao Yai): The mountain setting and the nature look perfect for a mental break. But it's expensive (36,000 baht) and I’m worried it might be too focused on westerners/tourists now. I don't want a "resort" experience.   Does anyone have experience with these two? Or maybe a suggestion for a hidden gem in Isan or rural Thailand where I can find that mix of nature + brutal discipline + authenticity and connection with people ?   Thanks for your help.
    • One of the more interesting things that has become clearer in my study of capitalism and Muay Thai is just how much Thailand's traditional Muay Thai is operating within a non-Capitalist organization, much closer to apprenticeship (within the Western tradition), and intimately woven into the Social (re)Production registers (in the West) upon which Capitalism depends. When non-Thais come to Thailand as consumers (or even free agent labor) there is an extreme dysfunction between their motivations and assumptions and the pervading Muay Thai culture they are attempting to integrate with (leaving aside the degrees to which there is a new Tourism-oriented culture which is organized around giving them particular kinds of experiences). As Thailand's Muay Thai turns to Capitalist solutions to its traditional stagnation and decline (much impacted by the COVID slowdown), there are forced mis-translations between cultures, and also increasingly pressured demands for Thais to abandon the values of apprenticed social (re)production.  
    • As Fraser frames it, the question between exploitation and expropriation is of vulnerability, and the controls over that vulnerability. She positions the State as essential arbitrator of vulnerability status.    In the case of Muay Thai's traditional power dynamics, fighters are "dependents" (sometimes literally positioned as de facto children of a kaimuay household, adoptively so), yet are not exposed as "defenseless" before the market, at least in the sense that it is the (imagined) moral character and obligation of Houses to care for their fighters, and to protect them from external predation (though, clearly they do not always fulfill this obligation). Fighters are "protected" in the social form, but also locked into social hierarchies (which many will view as unjust...or, alternately romanticize as formal "respect").
