"Can’t recommend these shorts enough. They are perfectly high-waisted, snug (yet flattering), and provide amazing comfort and coverage when rolling. If a round is particularly crazy the inner compression shorts will ride up a bit, but it’s not too bothersome. I am 5’4” 135lbs and a size small 5” inseam fits perfect. These are the best grappling shorts I’ve ever worn and are 100% worth the price- just bought my second pair!"

Meet the shorts that changed the game.
The #1 rated women’s board shorts in Jiu Jitsu—designed to perform, built to flatter, and trusted by thousands on the mat.
Description
Engineered for movement and made to last, these premium women’s lined board shorts combine a lightweight, high-performance outer shell with our signature built-in compression liner—so you get the coverage, support, and confidence you need without the bulk.
The high-waisted fit and ultra-soft internal drawstring keep everything secure through every scramble, while the breathable, sweat-wicking liner delivers a cool, second-skin feel that won't ride up mid-roll. Every detail is designed with intention—from fabric selection to fit—so you can focus on your training, not your gear.
Tested at the highest levels and refined through real feedback from women on the mat, these shorts set a new standard for no-gi performance.
Flattering, functional, and built for confidence—these are the shorts you’ll reach for every time.
Designed by women who train. Built for how you move.

My first no gi kit from Gaidama
"This is xs and I love it !!! It’s comfy , I can roll hard in it and it stays in place!! The quality is top notch and I get so many compliments!!!!!"
No-gi shorts
"This is my first pair of no-gi shorts and I’m in love!! I’m pretty new to jiu jitsu - have only trained gi since November 2025. Our gym switched to no-gi for the summer and I was nervous to find shorts that fit AND stay put. These shorts have built in compression shorts and the elastic waistband is just the right width to keep everything where it should be. They are comfortable to boot!! I’m a plus size mama in the hips and thighs and I can’t say enough good things about these no-gi shorts! Definitely recommend!"
Hi, I finally got to
"Hi, I finally got to try on my shorts for training. Mine was the purple version. I love the style and especially the feel of the fabrics. I just wished that shorts were 2inches longer."
Great Quality and Fit
"I’ve been looking for shorts that were longer for BJJ. These are awesome, I love the fit as well. I do wish they came up just a little higher but I have a long torso and was pleasantly surprised that they came as high as they did. I will be purchasing more in the future!"
Love the fit
"Layla loves this so much she said the shorts are so comfortable and easy to roll in! Layla is 10 and wearing adult small !"

Quality, as Expected
"The quality of these shorts is worth the cost, superior to all other brands. Super happy with the fabric - touch, soft, and durable - the bold colors and print, and the fit - true to size. Thanks again, Gaidama!"
