Mixed Martial Arts Shorts
The Unified Rules of wholesale MMA shorts provide clear guidelines around the shorts used during professional and amateur MMA bouts. These rules have provided a benchmark for apparel companies to design and develop training and competition wholesale mma shorts for mixed martial arts and related sports. Wholesale MMA shorts have now evolved from regular board shorts or biking shorts. They are now much more specialized and provide several features to improve comfort, range of motion and flexibility, and additional characteristics that improve a fighter’s ability during practice and competition.
The most prominent style of wholesale MMA Shorts is essentially board shorts, with an extra drawstring for added grip, and a 4-way flexible panel in the inner thigh area for maximum flexibility. They are also made from sweat-wicking material. Another type of MMA shorts that is less common is spats shorts, made of spandex and polyester mixture, and fits tightly on the body. It’s the equivalent of a rash guard but in shorts. Many companies are manufacturing this kind of specialty shorts. Long spats were allowed before in MMA competitions, but for are now ruled out for their added grip and friction.
Mixed Martial Arts Shirts
Most MMA fighters used specialized compression shirts, called Rash guards, to train. Rash guards are not regular compression shirts. Ground training techniques have required that these shirts provide reinforced seams and stitching, with additional panels to support the additional stress placed on the shirt during training while continuing to provide the benefits provided by regular compression shirts. Aside from the reinforced stitching, many rash guards also have an added rubber or gel panel on the bottom to ensure minimum rolling up during training. Rash guards are used for several reasons, like guarding against rashes and skin infections, their sweat-wicking abilities, and the extra compression that regulates the body temperature and gives added protection against injuries.
In addition to rash guards, several promotions like the UFC, regularly provide sponsors with the ability to advertise their brands using t-shirts during the weigh-in events and competition. These shirts have been titled “Walk-out” shirts by many because they are used by fighters while being presented for their fight as they walk towards the cage. These shirts are sold to the public as a means for the fans to support their favorite fighters.
Origin of the term MMA
The first documented use of the name mixed martial arts was in a review of UFC by television critic Howard Rosenberg, in 1993. The term gained popularity when the website newfullcontact.com, then one of the biggest covering the sport, hosted and reprinted the article.
The first use of the term by a promotion was in September 1995 by Rick Blume, president and CEO of Battlecade Extreme Fighting, just after UFC. UFC official Jeff Blatnick was responsible for the Ultimate Fighting Championship officially adopting the name mixed martial arts. It was previously marketed as “Ultimate Fighting” and “No Holds Barred (NHB)”, until Blatnick and John McCarthy proposed the name “MMA” at the UFC 17 rules meeting in response to increased public criticism. The question as to who actually coined the name is still in debate.
