Falls, takedowns, pressure on the guard pass, knee to chest… and it starts all over again. The mat punishes, especially if you train hard. And if you've already felt that uncomfortable twinge or that pain when you put your weight on it, 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 among many BJJ, grappling, and MMA practitioners in 2025, and explain why it's the one you need.
Why use a knee brace if you do BJJ, MMA, or grappling?
Most people start without protection. It's only when a bad turn, an awkward technique, or a bad fall forces you to start wearing it. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced competitor, your knee is constantly at risk due to: pressure points on hard mats, abrasions, impacts during takedowns, awkward positions, and all of this causes constant damage to your knee, so sooner or later you'll feel the need to protect it.
And when something goes wrong there… training becomes frustrating.
Why this one and not others?
What does any Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling, or MMA practitioner want? To avoid injury and be able to practice the sport for as long as possible.
✅ Comfortable for use during long sessions
✅ Protection against impacts and pressures
✅ Support without rigidity 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 . Those designed for fitness, running, or bodybuilding are not made for this type of training.
