I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40. The differnce with and withoutPads are huge on the mat. I have not wore pads under my gi so I can't speak to if they will hang on the cotton or not. I would guess they will be fine under gi. I know without the gi my shots are twice as fast with the pads and my knees are very happy. They are not as bulky as they look in the picture. I have 3 of my wrestlers wearing these and they love them. Measure your knee and get the right size. If you are borderline go for the smaller size. I think they have an extra small. If they are too big they will slide around. That is useless to you. Good luck and happy knees. I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40.

Not at all. I am a dude standing 5'8" and 140 lbs, but with very skinny girl legs. I use the small size and they are very tight on my leg.

I guess you´d have to get small size. Mine fit pretty well and worked great for bjj. Good luck!

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.

I'm female, 5'2", 111 lbs. and got the woman's small; think they would fit you too. Liked the equipment.

yes but iffy at 100 lbs. Note these are for female and are not padded. We added a disposable adult pad.

yeah they are bit big, but its worth to buy and try out. If it fits you can use these for long time as they seem to be of good quality. Or you can use the elbow pads as the knee pads initially.

I'm 5'8" and think you could definitely make these work for someone a foot shorter. There's a lot of spots to shrink the shoulder-hand space as well as the overall height. The surgeon might have a pair you could at least look at, even if you want to buy them on Amazon.

I (female) wear size L gloves and these fit fine. Not tight at all. But for a guy...don't know. I can say that there is a lot of extra room at the finger tips, so they may accommodate taller fingers.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

They should be fine. I got 1.5 or 1 lb each ( can't remember) and they are a little too heavy for me. I use them for about half the work out. 1 lb should be fine. Most the of women in my class use .5 lb.

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

I don't know the diameter of my knees, but I'm pretty big ( 6'6 240 lbs ) and they fit well. The straps are adjustable. I have mine fairly tight and there's probably four or five extra inches of strap, so I imagine they would fit just about anyone.

Edwin, First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer. These were originally ordered for my husband, and were to small for him. I am female, stand about 6'. These are knee socks and in the large size, tight on my calves - enough so that I have had bruises. The compression is somewhat gradual up the sock but still quite tight at the top. Hope this helps.

Absolutely!! I'm a woman and I purchased a small and they are by far the best gloves I've purchased to date for weight lifting training and Bootcamp.

I would think a small/med would fit. I wear a size 6 women's shoe and found that the yoga socks are a little too big for me. They are fine for some positions but when I am in certain positions such as Downward dog or warrior pose the sock is slipping off my foot.

They are adjustable...so I can't see why they wouldn't fit. They are a little bulky at first, but I have never had a more comfortable knee pad.

I found them to be very snug so I think they would work for most women and some men. However, if anyone weighs more than 175 I would think they would be tight. Hope this helps.

Depends on what he's doing. Actually you know what, I'd say yeah. Based on these are actually pretty light. I did Martial arts with with way heavier arm and leg weights. Also I'd advised for him not to use them for crazy amounts of time per day for anything really athletic. Leg weights can affect the knee and other joints depending on the activity.
