About the product
Knee pad in black from Shinka Combat is a soft model in elastic cotton fabric that fits snugly around the knee without constricting, with foam padding that absorbs the impact on landing. It also comes in white, if you would rather match the rest of your kit. We carry the series because we trust the quality, and we keep it in stock in good quantities.

Questions and answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Which size should I choose?
There are five steps in the selector: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. Shinka Combat does not publish a size chart, so we do not guess at a measurement - the fabric is elastic and has a little give, but the pad should fit without constricting behind the knee when the leg is bent. If in doubt, write or call us.
-
What does a knee pad actually protect against?
Above all, the floor. In judo, BJJ, ju-jutsu, Krav Maga and MMA you land on your knees again and again - and it is not one hard blow but the many landings and the scraping against the mat that, over a season, give swollen knees and inflamed bursae. A knee pad takes the impact on landing and the friction against the mat. It is not a splint, though: if you have an unstable kneecap or a ligament injury, see a physiotherapist.
-
Can it be worn under the gi?
Yes. It is a thin fabric model without a hard shell, so it does not bulk up under a judo or BJJ gi and can stay on through a whole session. If you need something sturdier for hard landings on a hard surface, look at one of our models with a coating on the outside.
-
Can they be washed?
Yes. Wash at 30 degrees in a laundry bag, so the elastic is not stretched, and hang them to dry afterwards. Tumble dryers and radiators ruin the elastic - it loses its tension and never gets it back. Take them out of the bag after training; a closed bag never dries.
