Will do.

I'm just looking for a wrestling style knee pad I can kneel on while rolling. When I find something I'll update this thread, since oddly, there aren't too many threads dealing with knee pads/braces.


*I'm extra cautious while striking... staying light on my left (bad) leg in a proper MT stance, and when we train strikes I don't go as hard with that knee. I'm not really sure what to do to help cartilage problems, but with ligament issues I'd definitly work/build up the corresponding muscles just for added protection. (ACL = quads, and PCL = hamstrings).
