The 8 WEAPONS 8 Ways Yant 2.0 are Muay Thai shorts in high-quality printed satin, handmade in Thailand. The central design is the Pead Tidt Yant — a traditional Thai Sak Yant yantra that symbolises the universe in its eight directions and represents eight manifestations of the Buddha. Sak Yant is the art of sacred tattooing practised in Thailand for centuries, believed to protect the wearer from negative influences and bad energies in every direction. The design is reproduced on the satin with graphic precision that honours the original symbolism of the yantra. The cut of these shorts is built exclusively around the technical demands of Muay Thai: the high-cut lateral slits fully open the hip for knee strikes, roundhouse kicks and teeps without any fabric resistance. The narrow, highly flexible waistband keeps the shorts in place during fast movement and direction changes without restricting trunk mobility. The legs are cut wide to never limit the range of leg techniques, regardless of the fighter's build. Double stitching guarantees the durability of the shorts under intensive daily training and competition use. Each pair of 8 WEAPONS 8 Ways Yant 2.0 carries quality patches on the front and sides. 8 WEAPONS is a reference in Muay Thai equipment, distributed by the most selective specialist retailers in Europe. The shorts are made in Bangkok's leading manufacturers, using the materials and production methods of shorts worn in Thai stadiums. Available in multiple colourways at CombatCorner, official retailer in Switzerland.

The Pead Tidt Yant is a Sak Yant yantra — a traditional sacred tattoo from Thailand. "Pead Tidt" means "eight directions" in Thai. This yantra represents the universe in its eight cardinal and inter-cardinal directions, with eight Buddha manifestations associated with each direction. It is considered a symbol of complete protection against all negative influences regardless of their origin. The design is a concentric square with Buddhist symbols arranged in a circle, faithfully reproduced on the satin of these shorts. Why are Muay Thai shorts made from satin? Satin is the traditional fabric of Muay Thai shorts since the sport's beginnings in Thai stadiums. Its smooth surface reduces air resistance during kicks and fast movement. Its low weight creates no additional inertia during direction changes. It dries quickly with perspiration and creases less than other light fabrics. The printed satin of the 8 WEAPONS 8 Ways Yant 2.0 is cut and sewn by hand in Thailand to the standards of Bangkok manufacturers that supply the local stadiums. How do I choose the right size for Muay Thai shorts? 8 WEAPONS Muay Thai shorts are traditionally worn at waist height or slightly below the navel. The flexible waistband on this model allows some flexibility in size selection. As a guide for waist circumference: S (70–75 cm), M (75–85 cm), L (85–95 cm), XL (95–105 cm), XXL (105–115 cm). If unsure between two sizes, choose the larger to maintain full freedom of movement. Are the 8 WEAPONS shorts suitable for kickboxing and MMA? Yes. The high-cut lateral slits and wide-cut legs work for any combat sport that uses leg techniques. The 8 WEAPONS 8 Ways Yant 2.0 are suited to Muay Thai, K-1 kickboxing and standing grappling disciplines. For MMA with ground work, satin is less suited than hybrid shorts — for mixed standing/ground training, the 8 WEAPONS MMA shorts range is more appropriate. How do you care for satin Muay Thai shorts? Wash inside out at maximum 30° in the machine. Washing inside out protects the prints and patches from drum abrasion. Do not use fabric softener, whi
