GENUTRAIN Knieband.Gr.5 titanThis is a review for the Genutrain Knieband Titan. (posted link above)TL:DR Great for BJJ, had to be careful with sizing guide.Backround:While practising BJJ, I attempted an Uchi-mata (judo throw) I didn't commit enough, my opponent ducked under and took my back then decided to jump on me distributing both of our combined body weights through my knee.End result was lots of popping and me screaming in agony on the floor, turns out I'd torn my medial collateral ligament.fast forward to when I could walk properly, I bought a velcro wrap around knee support, which was ok, but not amazing, as it kept coming down the leg, after reading about this knee support, I decided to try it and I was not disappointed, so much so, I'm going to buy another.Ok, so I had my first roll last night with this on, I'm blue belt at the moment and I was against another blue belt, we were going for it and this knee support stayed on throughout, which really surprised me as it often slides down my leg about an inch after putting it on and walking around, so I'm very pleased with it.When washing it, I used normal non-bio washing powder and some dettol anti-bacterial in-wash solution and it's come out fine, so again, really pleased there too.When buying it, the sizing guide was a bit ambiguous as my calf was within the range of a number 4, and my thigh was in the range of a number 6, so I thought I'd go for the one in the middle and bought a number 5. (I'm 5'9", fairly well built) and a number 5 seems to be spot on, though if I'm honest, I'd prefer it to be a bit tighter on my thigh, and a bit more slack on my calf (yes it is on the right way up, you can't get that wrong as it has a thumb guide to pull it on)anyway, after seeing this come out of the wash ok, I'm going to be getting myself another one, but as the reviews on here are a bit vague for anything BJJ related I thought I'd post for you guys.

Best support for BJJ / grappling / MMA. Comfortable, supportive and stays in place for the whole duration of wearI bought this following a meniscus tear and have been wearing it solidly at training over the last 18 months. Starting to wear on the inside now (material is torn internally around the silicon 'O' ring support) but it gets washed 2-3x a week and is holding up way better than any other type of knee support I've owned. Original fit and shape have held true to the first time I wore it and it doesn't seem to hold any gross smells which is usually the case with training gear that has regular use.Most people in my gym who wear one now have this same knee support

Exactly what you would expect from a German engineered support. Great quality, well made, fantastic aesthetics/design and does exactly what it should. I have been running several times since recovering from a knee injury and this brace offers a level of support I am extremely happy with and also is comfortable to wear and easy to use and remove.

Very comfortable and has helped a very sore knee

I well constructed knee support and well worth to price

Has made a huge difference. Due to years of on going knee injuries which caused severe muscle wasted. The lack of stability in my knee made exercise painful and injury common place. Since using this my knee feels so much stronger I am now able to slowly build up my leg muscles without fear of injury. I have even re started boxing training and am gearing up to returning to kickboxing if all goes well.

Overall if you are looking for any kind of braces for sports, Bauerfeind is the company to go with. I own a few of their products and they are miles ahead of everything else.Now about this sleeve. I use these (got 1 per knee) for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo to reduce impact on my knee as well as the constant stress of being on the knees during ground fighting.These are one of the few knee sleeves (tried a few) that actually stay where you want them, without cutting of your blood flow.The knee cap is protected by some nice padding around it. While the ligaments are supported by some thin strands running along them within the sleeve itself.Best knee sleeves/pads out there.

as described, good quality fast shipment.
