Find your Elion MMA shorts size below. Measurements are half-waist taken from the garment laid flat, unworn — multiply by two for your approximate full waist in cm. Elion fight shorts use a longer cut than their Muay Thai range, with full thigh coverage for grappling and ground work.
Fit tip: MMA shorts run roomier than Muay Thai shorts to allow for kicks, sprawls and clinch work. Size by waist — if your thighs are notably bigger than your waist, size up one for full mobility on shots.
| Size | Half-Waist (laid flat) | Full Waist (approx) |
|---|---|---|
| S | 40.5 cm | 81 cm / 32" |
| M | 42 cm | 84 cm / 33" |
| L | 43.5 cm | 87 cm / 34" |
| XL | 46.5 cm | 93 cm / 37" |
| XXL | 48 cm | 96 cm / 38" |
How to measure
- Waist: measure around your natural waistline, just above the hip bones — that's where the elasticated waistband sits.
- Between sizes: size up for grappling and BJJ training; size down for striking-focused MMA work and a cleaner look.
- Drawstring: the elasticated waistband plus internal drawstring gives roughly 3 cm of forgiveness either way.
