I play a sport that requires me go to my knees hard and fast and then fight from a down position. Will these keep my knees safe from the fall?

Depends on the sport. Other martial arts may require more or less padding. I train Brazilan Jiu-jitsu and find that these stay on and protect adequately. Since BJJ has much ground techniques, these pads are very useful. Just be sure that you size them correctly according to the website.

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

Hi William - I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and we drill from feet to floor and grapple on the mat. I haven't had any knee issues when wearing these pads. I love them and will keep buying them when they need to be replaced. I hope this answers your question. Please take note that they are sold individually - so order 2!

I think so, they are snug, but not so snug that they restrict my movement. I think every beginner snowboarder should have these. While I no longer wear them they helped so much physically and psychologically that first season, when you knew you were going to fall again and again

I would say that these pads are meant for protection, not for sliding (however, I have not tried to slide with them :)

I just slip mine out to wash the pants - They certainly do protect my knees so I don't want to loose them or add any additional wear and tear to them

I wouldn't run in them , I'm pretty sure they would fall off. They are just not made for high impact physical movement.

I have not used my knee pads indoor,but we just had a new floor put down by 2 professionals,and both men wore these particular knee pads on their knees,and there was no damage to the flooring at all.

I dont know if it is good for preventing knee problems, but the support it gives keeps me from re-injuring my knee.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

No. Just get used to it. I'm a big guy and work in the steel I dustrie. Wear em all day and don't have a problem. I don't know what your doing to em. just practice your motor skills.

I would still use a separate guard. I do not really notice too much support knee wise just decent muscle compresion.

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

Hi,I wore a pair once when playing slow pitch, and very restricted, due to the stabilisers. Affected my infielding too.hope this helps.

i have seen people riding on these on their knees. But it will depend a lot on your balance!

From my experience, these will not slide down when you run. The key is getting your lower strap above your calf and having it at the right tightness. If you do both of these things, you wont have a problem. If you have really small calves, then any knee pad you have is likely to slip down. (If you buy this product, make sure to even out the clothing underneath your lower strap before use as wrinkles and bunches of clothing under the strap can cut of blood supply and cause discomfort.

I think they would be too thick/bulky for yoga. It would work to protect your knees but I don't think it would be good while doing the other postures unless you are taking them off and putting back on.

Absolutely! At first they may seem very tight and restrictive as they are designed to protect your hand and wrist when you fall down on asphalt or cement which you do a lot of with street rollerskates but after a while they loosen up and your fingers can move very well but in the beginning they will be very tight.

They would be too restrictive. They are very thick; really to be used in exercise class whne on one's knees.
