Venum Classic versus other kickboxing shorts

The main difference between this Venum Classic model and many other kickboxing shorts is the fit. While many brands use a roomier, more Western cut, Venum follows the traditional Thai sizing here: narrower and tighter. This gives an authentic look and feel, but requires extra attention when choosing your size. Other kickboxing shorts are often made from satin or a polyester-satin mix, while this model is made entirely from polyester. The splits on both sides and the elastic band are found on most quality shorts, but the combination of Thai production and classic design makes this shorts a good choice for those seeking the traditional Muay Thai look.

Frequently asked questions

How do the Venum Classic kickboxing shorts fit?

These shorts have a narrow, tailored fit according to Thai tradition. Always consult the size guide and measure your waist and hips before ordering. The size guide shows the exact dimensions of the shorts themselves, not your body measurements. Compare your own measurements with the product dimensions in the table to make the right choice. Thanks to the elastic band and stretchy polyester, the shorts adapt, but the basic fit remains narrow.

What size Venum kickboxing shorts do I need?

Measure your waist and hips with a tape measure and compare these with the size guide at the top of the product page. Note: the size guide shows the dimensions of the shorts, not the recommended body measurements. Take into account the narrow fit and decide whether you want a tight or more comfortable fit. If you're unsure between two sizes, you can contact our customer service for personal advice.

Are these kickboxing shorts suitable for women?

Yes, this is a unisex model that can be worn by men, women and children. The tailored fit works well with different body types. Women often choose the same size as with other sportswear, but always check the size guide because the Thai fit is narrower than many Western sports brands. The shorts are available from size XS.

Can I machine wash these Venum shorts?

No, these shorts must be hand washed to preserve the quality and colours. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Do not wring the shorts but gently press the water out and let them air dry. Hand washing keeps the polyester material and prints looking good for longer.

What is the difference between Muay Thai shorts and kickboxing shorts?

In practice, both terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same type of shorts. Traditionally, Muay Thai shorts have a wider leg and high split for knee and leg techniques. This Venum Classic model follows that traditional design with splits on both sides and elastic waistband, making it suitable for both Muay Thai and kickboxing and other standing combat sports.

Why are these shorts made in Thailand?

Thailand is the birthplace of Muay Thai and Thai manufacturers have generations of experience making combat sports clothing. Production in Thailand guarantees the authentic fit and quality that Muay Thai fighters expect. Venum has this model made there to ensure the traditional cut and finish, which you can see in details such as the elastic band and the characteristic split.
