Falls, takedowns, pressure on the guard step, knee to the chest... and back again. The mat is punishing, especially if you train hard. And if you've already felt that uncomfortable pinch or pain when landing, you know what's coming.
The solution? A knee brace designed specifically for these sports, specialized in preventing and protecting against these pains and potential injuries.
In this article, we'll tell you why the Tenace knee brace has become a favorite of many BJJ, grappling, and MMA practitioners in 2025, and we'll explain why it's the one you need.
Why wear a knee brace if you do BJJ, MMA, or grappling?
Most people start out without protection. Until a bad turn, a forced technique, or a bad fall forces you to start wearing one. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced competitor, your knee is constantly at risk from landing on hard mats, chafing, hits from takedowns, awkward positions—all of which are constant damage to your knee, and one day or another you'll feel the need to protect it.
And when something goes wrong there… training turns into frustration.
Why this one and not others?
What does any Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling, or MMA practitioner want? Avoiding injuries and being able to practice the sport for as long as possible.
✅ Comfortable to wear for long sessions
✅ Protection against impacts and pressures
✅ Support without stiffness or loss of mobility
✅ Material that does not irritate the skin or overheat
This is where the difference comes in. Not all knee pads are suitable for fighting . Fitness, running, or weight training pads aren't made for this type of training.
