After 35 years of training and dealing with knee injuries, I’ve tried just about every knee pad out there. None of them gave me the mix of comfort, support, and durability I needed. So I made my own.

These are the knee pads I wear every time I train. If I forget them, I don’t train.

They’re built to absorb impact, stay in place, and keep your knees warm and protected. Whether you’re rolling no gi, drilling takedowns, or going hard in a comp class, these pads give you the support you need without sliding around or falling apart.

What I love about them:

• The padding is dense but flexible, so it softens impact without getting bulky
• The compression fit gives me a secure, warm feeling in my knees
• They actually stay put, even during fast scrambles
• They work great for both gi and no gi
• The fit and feel haven’t changed at all, even after serious abuse.

If you’ve had knee issues or just want to train harder without worrying about mat burn or soreness, you’ll love these.
