The split on both sides gives you maximum movement freedom for high kicks and knee strikes. Please note: this is a traditional model with a specific aesthetic that not everyone finds flattering. Some athletes find the classic Muay Thai fit too wide or less flattering than a more modern, tapered kickboxing shorts.

Classic Muay Thai shorts like this Caged model have a wider cut, short legs and splits on both sides – exactly as Thai fighters have worn them for decades. They sit high on the waist and provide maximum freedom of movement for knee strikes and high kicks. Modern kickboxing shorts are often slightly longer, more tapered and have a more Western, sporty aesthetic. They sit lower on the hips and emphasise the contours more. For traditional Muay Thai training or competition you choose the classic model; for general kickboxing or fitness training a modern shorts can feel more comfortable and flattering. Your choice depends on personal preference and the context in which you train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Caged a good choice for Muay Thai shorts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Caged is the Dutch premium brand focused on serious training and competition. These shorts combine the traditional Muay Thai fit with solid workmanship and durable materials. It's a solid choice if you want a classic model that can withstand the rigours of intense training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size Caged Muay Thai shorts should I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the size chart at the top of the product page to determine your size based on your waist circumference. The shorts have a classic Muay Thai fit that is wider than modern shorts. Size XL, for example, fits someone who is 198 cm tall and weighs 90 kg. Keep in mind that this fit doesn't suit everyone – the wide cut is designed for function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I machine wash these shorts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, these shorts should only be hand washed. Machine washing can damage the 100% polyester material, the prints and the elastic waistband. Wash the shorts after every training session with cold water and mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and air dry for the longest lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between S and XXL in these Muay Thai shorts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes S to XXL differ mainly in waist circumference and overall width, while the leg length remains relatively short – that's characteristic of classic Muay Thai shorts. Consult the exact size chart for waist measurements per size. The elastic band offers some flexibility, but do choose your normal size for optimal comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these shorts suitable for competition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this classic model with splits on both sides and elastic waistband meets the standard requirements for Muay Thai and kickboxing competitions. The 100% polyester fabric is lightweight, flexible and absorbs little moisture. Always check whether your organisation has specific requirements for colour, length or brands before entering a competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the side splits really give more movement freedom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The splits on both sides are essential for high kicks, quick knee techniques and deep stances without the fabric pulling or tearing. This is exactly why traditional Muay Thai shorts always have these splits – they make the difference in explosive movements during sparring and competition. Without splits you'd be noticeably limited in your techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caged","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":48279714857307,"sku":"CGDMTS-414-S","price":305.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":48279714890075,"sku":"CGDMTS-414-M","price":305.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":48279714922843,"sku":"CGDMTS-414-L","price":305.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":48279714955611,"sku":"CGDMTS-414-XL","price":305.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":48279726391643,"sku":"CGDMTS-414-XXL","price":305.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7531\/5641\/files\/221.jpg?v=1756102623","url":"https:\/\/thefightcompany.dk\/en\/products\/caged-muay-thai-shorts-classic-navy-blue-white","provider":"The Fight Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
