NYK53 | New York Nicks No-Gi BJJ Fight Shorts | No-Gi Training | Nation Athletic

Started this brand in NYC after moving over from the UK. Different cities, same energy, slightly unhinged. The closest thing I’ve found to a Saturday football away day chaos is a packed subway car after a Knicks win.

NYC became a second home. This drop is for that feeling.

 The NYK53 New York Nicks Bjj Grappling Shorts Limited pre-order only.

The NYK53 New York Nicks fight shorts bring the same big-city energy as the rash guard — black base, orange accents, and the quiet confidence of someone who's been heel hooked enough times to finally respect leg locks. The fit stays locked. The fabric stays light. 

Note: Color may vary slightly based on lighting. Your confidence, however, should not.

Pre-Order Notice: Some sizes are currently on pre-order. Please allow 4–6 weeks for delivery on pre-order items. We know. We know. Use the wait time to drill your guard retention.

Key Features of the NYK53 Fight Shorts

• Performance Fabric
  Durable polyester/spandex blend built for unrestricted movement and repeated mat contact. Survives more rounds than most white belts.
• 4-Way Stretch Mobility
  Full range of motion for scrambles, takedowns, guard work, and that one transition you've been drilling for 6 months and still can't hit live.
• Lightweight & Breathable
  Breathable construction to regulate temperature during high-intensity rounds. Cooler than the guy who taps but pretends he didn't.
• Secure Waistband System
  Elasticated waistband with Velcro closure and internal drawstring. Stays put during takedowns, guard passes, and that one spazzy white belt who grabs everything.
• Reinforced Construction
  Strengthened seams that won't blow out mid-scramble. Unlike your composure when you get caught in a kimura from bottom.
• Sublimated Design
  Fully sublimated graphics that won't crack, peel, or fade. The only thing fading is your opponent's will to continue.
• Athletic Competition Fit
  Mid-thigh length (7" seam) with a tailored cut to minimize excess fabric and reduce grip opportunities. Less for them to grab. More for you to complain about anyway.

Built for No-Gi BJJ, Grappling & MMA

Designed for daily no-gi training, open mats, and competition prep. The fabric resists wear from constant mat contact while the stretch stays responsive through every scramble, every failed double leg, and every "I almost had it" moment you'll replay in the shower later.

Fit & Sizing

Secure athletic fit that stays stable during movement. The waistband system holds through intense scrambles. Reinforced stitching supports durability through high-pressure positions. Runs slim — size up if the post-training burritos have been hitting different lately. No judgment. We've all been there.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold (30°C)
• Do not tumble dry
• Hang dry for best longevity
• Do not iron directly on printed areas. They've been through enough.
