RIPTIDE Judo Shorts, Training and Conditioning Shorts

The RIPTIDE judo shorts are the navy and cyan version of our judo training short: flowing line art sweeping up both legs, with the AUN shield on one thigh and the wordmark on the other. The design is dyed into the fabric rather than printed on top, so it will not crack, peel or fade.

When do judoka actually wear shorts?

Not for randori or contest, where the judogi is the uniform. Shorts are for the rest of the week: warm-ups, uchikomi with bands, strength and conditioning, ne-waza drilling in clubs that run it out of the gi, and the session before and after practice. These are cut for that work, with a soft elastic waistband instead of a rigid closure and a side slit so the knee can travel.

• No pockets, zips or belt loops, so nothing catches a finger or toe.

• Side leg slit for full hip and knee range.

• Soft elastic waistband, comfortable on the ground.

• Navy that passes as ordinary training kit in a traditional dojo.

Specs

Can I wear them for a grading or contest?

No. Gradings and IJF contests are fought in a judogi that meets the federation's measurement rules. Treat these as training wear and change into your judogi for randori, gradings and competition.

Who is it for?

Made for judoka whose training week includes real conditioning work, and for clubs whose colours are already navy. Also a sensible pair for the gym on non-judo days.

Can we get them in club colours?

Yes. Send your club colours and crest and we rebuild the design around them, with artwork returned for sign-off before production. The minimum is 10 pairs and sizes can be mixed across juniors and seniors.

How do I care for them?

Machine wash cold inside out with like colours and hang dry. Do not iron the print, bleach, or tumble dry on high.
