VHTK grappling shorts support beginners and experienced athletes during Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, submission grappling and MMA training. Four way stretch accommodates hip rotation during takedowns, guard passing and scrambles. An elastic panel between the thighs adds flexibility for wide stances and kicks.
Compare the fabric, waistband and measurements when selecting your VHTK shorts. These details help you assess sweat management, waist adjustment and room through the seat and thighs.
VHTK uses a lightweight blend of 95% polyester and 5% spandex. The moisture wicking fabric draws sweat away from your skin, while its breathable construction allows airflow. Quick drying material helps the shorts dry after training and washing.
An elastic waistband and internal drawstring let you adjust the fit around your waist. The drawstring helps secure the shorts during transitions between standing and ground positions. Its internal placement keeps the cord inside the waistband.
VHTK uses flatlock stitching to create flatter seams that help reduce rubbing against your skin. Reinforced seams strengthen areas exposed to repeated tension. Abrasion resistant fabric helps the shorts withstand rubbing against the mat.
VHTK offers grappling shorts for men and women. Compare your waist measurement with the VHTK size guide, then check the selected product’s length and fit. Choose a size that stays secure at the waist and leaves room through the seat and thighs for squatting and lifting your knees.
VHTK designs include All Black Giraffe, All White Giraffe, Black Phantom, Blue Samurai and Giraffe 2.0 in black or white. Sublimation printing embeds the artwork into the fabric without adding a raised print layer.
Custom grappling shorts are available with personal artwork, academy logos and team colors. Contact VHTK to discuss your design and sizing requirements.
For a grappling tournament, compare the selected shorts with your event’s uniform rules. Check permitted colors, garment length and restrictions on pockets, fasteners and exposed drawstrings. An internal drawstring alone does not establish competition eligibility.
Wash your VHTK shorts after training, following the garment’s care label. Use cold water, turn printed garments inside out and air dry them completely before wearing them again. Avoid high heat to help preserve elasticity, fit and graphics.
Choose your preferred shorts and pair them with VHTK BJJ rash guards.
For belt color designs, explore the ranked rash guards collection and check the selected product’s competition eligibility.
