Hayabusa MMA Shorts Apex Mid - Tactical Green

The Hayabusa Men's Apex Mid-Thigh Fight Shorts are designed for MMA fighters and BJJ practitioners who want shorts that lock securely around the waist, move with every takedown, and withstand the toughest conditions. Featuring virtually indestructible, tear-resistant fabric, laser-cut ventilation, stretch panels on the inner thighs, and a silicone waistband that keeps the shorts securely in place, the Apex shorts are built to handle serious training and competition.

Features

• Versatile mid-thigh cut with side slits for unrestricted mobility
• Virtually indestructible, tear-resistant fabric with reinforced flatlock seams
• Silicone-lined waistband that locks the shorts in place and prevents them from shifting
• Interlocking front closure combined with double drawcords for a secure fit
• Laser-cut ventilation for maximum airflow under pressure
• Stretch panels on the inner thighs for extra stretch where you need it most
• Slim, athletic design with modern color schemes

Usage

The Apex Mid-Thigh Shorts are designed for versatile martial arts training and are ideal for:

• Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) —sparring, competitions, and full training
• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) no-gi – grappling, rolling, and open mats
• Submission grappling and wrestling
• Striking training – pad work and punching bag sessions
• Cross-training and functional fitness

The mid-thigh cut strikes the perfect balance between long and short shorts: short enough for full leg mobility during grappling and high kicks, long enough for coverage and comfort during mat work.

Material and Construction

The main fabric is made from 240 GSM, 100% polyester, a heavyweight weave known for its high tear resistance. The inner thigh panels are made of 88% polyester and 12% spandex, providing targeted stretch exactly where you need it, such as during guard positions, takedowns, and high kicks. The reinforced flatlock seams prevent skin irritation and provide extra durability in the areas of the pants that are subject to the most stress.

Locked-in Fit

The most distinctive feature of the Apex shorts is the closure system. The silicone-lined waistband subtly grips the rash guard or skin to prevent shifting, which is crucial during rolling and grappling. The interlocking front closure, combined with the double drawstrings, gives you a competition-ready, custom-tailored fit that won’t come undone during intense sessions. No more having to pull them up or down between techniques.

Ventilation

The laser-cut ventilation panels are strategically placed to provide maximum airflow where you sweat the most. This keeps you cool, dry, and comfortable during long training sessions and high-intensity competition preparation. A big difference from standard fight shorts that start trapping sweat after just a few minutes.

Size Guide

The Apex Mid-Thigh Fight Shorts are available in five sizes. Use the guide below based on your waist size:

• Small – waist size approximately 71–76 cm
• Medium – waist size approximately 76–84 cm
• Large – waist size approximately 84–91 cm
• X-Large – waist circumference approximately 91–99 cm
• 2X-Large – waist size approximately 99–107 cm

The Apex has an athletic fit—not too tight and not too loose. If you’re unsure between two sizes, choose the larger size if you have muscular thighs or prefer a slightly looser fit.

Who are they for?

These shorts are designed for advanced and experienced MMA fighters, BJJ practitioners, and grapplers who want premium fight shorts with thoughtful features. Ambitious beginners who are serious about their training will also benefit from their durability and fit. The Apex is also popular among cross-trainers looking for fight shorts suitable for both striking and grappling exercises.

Differences from the Core and 3/4 Thigh Fight Shorts

The Hayabusa Apex distinguishes itself from the Core line with premium materials, laser-cut ventilation, and a silicone waistband—ideal for serious sparring and competition. The mid-thigh cut offers full leg mobility, while the 3/4 thigh version provides slightly more coverage for those who prefer it. Both Apex models share the same premium construction.

Care

The Apex shorts are easy to care for. They’re machine washable and can be tumble dried—no fuss. Wash on cold with like colors to keep the color and print looking fresh for a long time. Avoid bleach and wash the shorts inside out to protect the silicone waistband and prints.

Color Options

Available in four modern colorways:

• Carbon Black – sleek, timeless black for any setting
• Ash White – clean and modern white
• Dusk Blue – deep blue with contrasting accents
• Recon Green – military-inspired green for a rugged look
