Volleyball knee pads for BJJ
My bony knees don’t enjoy stiff mats. Well, they are a bit temperamental when it comes to a lot of things nowadays. When I studied Iaido, I was introduced to the benefits of volleyball knee pads when kneeling or sitting Seiza on hardwood floors.
There are a number of knee pads out there, but to protect all angles your knees might experience I highly recommend volleyball pads, especially these Asics pads. They’re even roomy enough to accommodate my knee sleeve. You loose some range of motion, but that has just encouraged more stretching.

Ben, I went for the full on softball shin guards or knee pads. I wrote a post about them: http://jiujitsumap.com/brazilian-jiu-jitsu/jiu-jitsu-shin-guards-stopping-the-bruises-part-1/
Maybe its about time I get a picture. I look like a storm trooper with them on.
