    Knee protection for MMA: stability and protection in every position

    Anyone who trains seriously in MMA knows that knees take a beating. Whether you’re working on takedowns, clinching, or moving on the ground, your knees absorb impact, twist, slide, and support virtually every technique. That’s why proper knee protection in MMA isn’t optional, it’s essential.

    At Fightstyle.nl you will find knee protection that is specially designed for the versatility of MMA. From intensive groundwork to explosive movements in the gym: with the right protection you will train safer, more effectively and with more confidence.

    Why Knee Protection is Crucial in MMA

    In MMA, knees are heavily loaded by various forms of movement. During a shoot or scramble, your knee scrapes across the mat. In clinching, your weight rests on a bent knee or you absorb an impact on the joint. Sprawls, reversals or controlling an opponent on the ground also put pressure on your knees.

    Without protection, you can easily get abrasions, bruises or irritations. Knee protectors provide:

    • Protection against impact and friction

    • Extra stability when turning or loading

    • Comfort during drills and sparring

    • Prevention of recurrent overload

    Especially if you train several times a week, good knee protection will prevent annoying injuries that can disrupt your training.

    Specially designed for MMA training

    The knee pads in our range have been selected based on their suitability for MMA . That means: lightweight, flexible and strong enough for intensive contact.

    Unlike knee pads for other sports, MMA models are tailored to a combination of grappling and striking. They must not only provide protection during groundwork, but also maintain mobility in stand-up situations.

    Whether you train takedown entries, cage control or technical drills on the mat – your knees deserve the right support.

    What makes a good MMA knee pad?

    Not every knee pad is suitable for mixed martial arts. In MMA you don't want a bulky model that restricts you, but rather a slim protector that stays exactly in place, even during intensive movement.

    When making your choice, pay attention to the following features:

    • Pre-shaped design that moves with your knee

    • Compression material that fits snugly without pinching

    • Thin padding with sufficient cushioning against impact

    • Breathable textile that wicks away sweat and prevents skin irritation

    • Anti-slip zones to prevent slipping

    The ideal protector feels like a second skin. You forget you are wearing it, while you benefit from the protection with every movement.

    For what situations in MMA do you use knee protection?

    Knee pads are especially valuable for:

    • No-gi grappling

    • Scramble drills and sprawls

    • Wrestling-based MMA training

    • Clinch techniques and wall control

    • Sparring with emphasis on ground control

    Knee pads are rarely worn during competitions, but in the gym they are a smart choice to keep your training going full throttle and injury free.

    Maintaining your knee protection

    Knee pads absorb a lot of sweat and lie directly against your skin. That's why proper maintenance is essential to keep them fresh and hygienic:

    • Wash them regularly at a low temperature (30°C)

    • Always let them air dry

    • Avoid the dryer and direct heat sources

    • Use antibacterial spray after intensive sessions

    With proper maintenance, your protectors will last longer and your skin will remain protected against fungus or irritation.

    Wrestling shoes: maximum grip and mobility on the mat

    A good BJJ gi is the foundation for every Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. Whether you’re taking your first steps on the mat or preparing for a tournament, your gi should be lightweight, feel durable, and fit perfectly with your body type and training style.

    At Fightstyle.nl, you’ll find an extensive collection of BJJ gis for men, women, and children. Every model is carefully selected for quality, durability, and performance. This way, you can train comfortably and confidently in the gym, knowing your gi is just as dedicated as you are.

    What exactly is a BJJ gi?

    A BJJ gi -also known simply as a gi-consists of a jacket (the kimono) and matching pants. The belt, which shows your rank, is usually sold separately but is of course an essential part of your outfit.

    What sets this uniform apart from a judo or karate gi is its design: the material is woven more strongly to withstand intense pulling and gripping, and the fit is typically slimmer to minimize grips. This makes a BJJ gi perfect for the technical ground fighting that is so characteristic of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

    BJJ Gis: Your complete outfit for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    Not every uniform that looks like a gi is automatically suitable for BJJ. For this sport, you need a gi that’s not only strong and comfortable, but also meets specific technical requirements. Keep the following points in mind:

    • Material & Weave: Most quality gis are made from cotton or a cotton blend, using a so-called pearl weave. This type of weave is lightweight yet strong, breathable, and able to withstand intense training.
    • Fit: A good gi fits closely to the body without restricting your movement. Slim-fit models ensure your opponent has less fabric to grip.
    • Reinforcement: Key areas such as the shoulders, armpits, knees, and collar are extra reinforced in a quality gi, so your uniform lasts—even with daily use.

    IBJJF-Approved: Training for competitions? Make sure your gi meets the requirements of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF). All our competition-focused gis are selected to comply with these standards.

    Who are our BJJ gis suitable for?

    The BJJ gis from Fightstyle.nl are designed for anyone serious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced black belt. Our collection offers a suitable option for every type of athlete:

    ✅ Beginners starting their very first classes
    ✅ Advanced practitioners training several times a week
    ✅ Competitors who demand the highest standards from their gear

    Please note: these gis are specifically designed for BJJ. They are not suitable for sports like kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, or wrestling, as those require different equipment and a completely different type of clothing.

    How do you choose the right size BJJ gi?

    BJJ gis use a different sizing system than regular sportswear. Sizes are indicated by codes based on your height and weight:

    • A-sizes (A0 to A5): Common for men and many women
    • F-sizes (F1 to F4): Specially designed for women
    • M/Y-sizes: For children and teens

    A gi should fit snugly enough to prevent unnecessary grips but loose enough to allow freedom of movement. Keep in mind that most gis will shrink slightly after the first few washes—usually around 2 to 3%.

    Not sure about your size? Feel free to contact our customer service team—we’re happy to help you find the perfect fit.

    Caring for your BJJ gi

    Proper care extends the life of your gi and helps prevent unpleasant odors or wear. Follow these tips to keep your gi in top condition:

    • Wash after every training session at a maximum of 30°C (86°F)
    • Do not use fabric softener - it damages the fabric and reduces grip
    • Let your gi air dry; using a dryer causes shrinkage and faster wear
    • Wash your belt together with your gi to avoid color differences
    • Store your gi dry and hang it up, even if you’ll train again later

    With the right care, your gi will last longer and you’ll stay comfortable during training.
