Locked In, Free to Move: The Knee Brace That Stays Put
Rolling, sparring, kicking and shooting for takedowns put a lot of strain on your knees, and most braces slide down halfway through the session. This compression knee brace wraps your knee with two adjustable straps, cushions it with gel padding and grips your leg so it stays where you put it, while your knee still bends freely through every drill.
Two adjustable straps
Support from every angle, full freedom to move
The straps wrap under, around and above the knee, so the brace supports the joint from every side without taking away your mobility.
This extra stability is designed to help keep your knee from twisting inwards or suddenly taking too much pressure, which is one of the main ways knees get hurt in training.
Worn in real training
On the mat, at the bag and in the gym
Grapplers, strikers and lifters wear it, and so do people who hike, run or spend long shifts on their feet.
On the mat
At the heavy bag
Between rounds
In everyday training
Gel padding
Cushioning for knocks, without stopping you kneeling
If you have ever smacked a sore knee on the mat or had a partner fall onto it, you know how frustrating that setback can be.
The brace has gel padding over the knee that helps absorb impact when you are rolling or shooting for takedowns, and it still lets you kneel all the way back on your heels.
So you can worry less about an unexpected knock or sudden pressure in the middle of a round.
Anti-slip grip
It does not slide down in the middle of class
Many knee sleeves and braces end up sliding down or rolling off in the middle of training, and you spend the class pulling them back up.
This one has a rubber grip along the inside seam and grip straps that hold it tight to your leg, so it stays in place from the warm-up to the last round.

Measure around your thigh 15 cm (6 in) above the centre of your kneecap. The thigh measurement counts more than your weight. If you are between two sizes, take the smaller one for the firmest compression.
3D compression
A snug, supported feel during and after training
Stiff, achy knees can have you hobbling around for days after a hard session.
The brace gives the whole joint firm, even compression. Many athletes find their knees feel less stiff and more comfortable after training in it, which is why so many keep wearing it session after session.
Your choice
With or without the side stabilizer
The stabilizer is a small, slim spring sealed inside the brace on each side of the knee. It gives extra sideways support for anyone who wants a firmer, more stable feel.
It is flexible and only noticeable to you, so it is still comfortable for rolling. It is heat-sealed inside and cannot be taken out.
It is optional because braces with the stabilizer are not allowed in competition. If you compete, choose the version without it.

Putting it on
Three simple steps
1. Pull it up over your knee
Slide the brace up your leg until the padded part sits over your kneecap.
2. Wrap the lower strap
Wrap the strap around your leg below the knee and close it.
3. Wrap the upper strap
Wrap the strap above the knee and pull it as firm as feels comfortable, then train.
Questions people ask
Which size should I order?
Measure around your thigh 15 cm (6 in) above the centre of your kneecap and use the size table above. The thigh measurement matters more than your weight. Between two sizes, take the smaller one.
Can I take the stabilizer out?
No. It is heat-sealed inside the brace. It is slim and flexible, so the stabilizer version is still comfortable for rolling.
Can I still kneel in it?
Yes. The gel padding cushions the knee and still lets you kneel all the way back on your heels.
Can I wash it?
Yes, in the washing machine on a cold cycle. Fasten the hook-and-loop straps onto their patch before washing. Do not put it in the tumble dryer.
Do I need one for each knee?
Each order is one brace. Many people who train hard wear one on each knee.
I have a knee injury. Can I wear it?
A brace is not a replacement for proper rehab. If you have an injury or a medical condition, ask your doctor or physiotherapist how to train with it.
