History, traditions and cultures have shaped Muay Thai, even down to fightwear. Muay Thai is known for its very unique style, especially when it comes to fighter attire.
Training Muay Thai requires dedication and the right gear, including clothing that is comfortable, durable, and functional. One essential item for any Muay Thai practitioner's training bag is a Muay Thai hoodie.
Here are the best hoodie options for training Muay Thai:
Whether it's casual wear or an actual training hoodie, we've got you covered in this blog. Thailand is a hot country, so it's not as common to see fighters training in hoodies. But around the world, Muay Thai has gained significant popularity, especially in the UK.
With colder climates around the world producing some top fighters, it comes as no surprise that different clothing and training options vary from country to country.
Polyester Muay Thai Hoodie
One of, if not THE best option for training Muay Thai would be a polyester mix of material.
When I went to train in Thailand I wore these on my morning runs and some training sessions. The polyester mix of our Muay Thai hoodies is just perfect, it doesn't absorb all of your sweat so you're not going to feel wet or heavy like you would in a cotton hoodie.
With the material being quite flexible and a snug fit, they don't get in the way of your training. We thought of everything when creating these hoodies, even down to the toggles being made out of rubber so you don't get cut when sparring or running.
Another good reason for choosing a polyester mix of a Muay Thai hoodie is that they're very quick drying. I'd get back to my room after the morning run, jump into my session after washing my hoodie and when I got back to my room they'd be perfectly dry just being hung out, ready to go again for the afternoon session.
Why GYM NASTY Muay Thai training hoodie?
Aside from the point above, we spent a lot of time researching and testing different materials. Along with that was the quality of the clothes.
We put quality and durability at the forefront of everything that we produce. The Polyester mix of our hoodies allowed us to experiment with different printing techniques, the prints on our hoodies are durable, don't flake off after washes and don't lose their colour.
No matter how hard you train, our hoodies will look as good as the day you bought them.
Cotton Muay Thai Hoodie
Cotton hoodies aren't typically used when training, especially not in Thailand. Although sometimes you may see fighters wearing them whilst training to cut extra weight during fight camp, that's why we haven't ruled them out.
Cotton Muay Thai hoodies are often seen as more casual wear, often used when travelling to and from your gym or when training strength and conditioning, again though, in colder climate countries, it may be a more common sight in your gym.
You'll probably find a lot more cotton Muay Thai hoodies these days, due to the general Muay Thai styling that people are drawn towards, along with Muay Thai gaining more popularity and fandom over the years.
We have an oversized cotton Muay Thai hoodie coming very soon, perfect for the morning runs, fitting a sauna suit under to cut weight or even for relaxing after training. Sign up to our mailing list to find out when they're available!
