Tight or Loose?

[Core]

Im unsure of whether to get tight shorts to do BJJ in for example this pair ( http://www.combatsports.com/detail.aspx?ID=22589 ) or something along the lines of theese ( http://www.combatsports.com/detail.aspx?ID=22716 ). I dont care about looks really more interested in the mobility of them and how comfortable they are. Any suggestions are wanted.

-Thanks in advance!

I got the 2nd pair and its really easy to move in them and real comfortable. They never get in the way, kicking or grappling.

I have two pair of loose shorts and love them..I'm not big on the tight shorts...

Loose shorts man. You're not fighting in the adcc, you don't need tights. Get some forty thieves shorts, I love them.

It's really just about aesthetics.

Forty Thieves shorts are great if you want shorts that have a very low probability of fitting correctly. I prefer vale tudo shorts over board shorts, but board shorts are dominant in the States.

Sorry, I stumbled into this thread thinking it was about something else.

Definetly Sprawl

Whichever. Like someone said before me, it's all about aesthetics. I wear both types.

I agree. It's all about aesthetics now. The tight fight shorts were a almost must a couple of years ago when grabbing clothes was allowed. Now that it's pretty much banned everywhere, one can wear loosefit without any punishment.

the new plaid Forty Thieves shorts now have an internal drawstring, lycra flex panel, more hip room, and I will be wearing mine at the fight at No Limits in Irvine next weekend! Silver Plaid.

Both styles work, but loose rules the roost now.

Go with the SPRAWLs, not only can you sport them while training but you can go running and workout in them as well. Unless you live in Rio and everyone sports VT shorts at the beach :wink:

 

[DaFort]

As long as you're not fat like me, either or works. If you are fat, please spare innocent bystanders and buy some board shorts. Fat people wearing VT shorts is teh gross.

I've got Sprawl originals and Flexfighter XTs or whatever......the sprawls are great...just make sure they have an adjustable wasteband, if not, order big....my 34 originals don't fit me and I'm a 33 waist...kinda sucks.
