Does anyone use these for BJJ? Any complaints from training partners?

Matthew - Generally headgear is not used for BJJ....however as this product is often used for wrestling, we can not foresee any complaints from a training partner. I hope this has been of some help to you. If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out!

My brothers and I use this for BJJ. It works really well. I get more complaints from the wearer than the training partners. This headgear makes it really hard to shake of triangles! Best headgear for use in BJJ we've found yet.

Yep. They're a bit small and certainly take some getting used to but they're accurate and work very well once you get them setup properly within the game. I use them for roll and use the xml route to set bindings which is a bit more complex than the in-game interface but it's more fully featured. 1 to 10, I'd give them a 6 or 7. There is much much better, but not for around a hundred bucks. Saitek's pedals are good too but they don't integrate with CH software which is one huge bonus for the whole CH line of gear. Good luck and see you in the verse.

For training yes, but not for sparring or fighting. They don't have alot of padding to block head kicks and the padding is very soft. But they are GREAT gloves

Depends on the frequency of use. They're really light weight, so if you're looking for excersize they'll be a little lacking. Try getting a heavier set.

I did use them on one 5k row (stationary rower) and they worked ok. There is not any rotation of the hand or sustained weight pulling against them and it was fine. I would still go with a different option for the price tag. I saw a pair of these on eBay recently starting at $0.99 bid and asked the seller what they thought. He had a very negative opinion as well. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Christie: I bought 2 with the stays, you can't even feel them and there really sib;t much lateral support since they're so thin. Mine, with the stays, do not limit my [Martial Arts] aggressive movement at all and I hardly notice I have them on 1-3 hrs every day. Denny - Chicago

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

not really. there is quite a bit of velcro that makes them a bit stiff at the front closure. great for sparring, not so much for sleeping. my opinion

Not quite an answer but a further request.. has anyone ordered several of this item? I want to know if the manufacturer/ material would be consistent before thinking about using these as budget trainers. I'd rather take a hit in the wallet than introduce something that could splinter into a real problem.

They'll probably cause some joint pain and muscle soreness for a few days after use the first couple weeks. After that, if you have problems you may want to use them less, which has solved practically all the issues I have had. Even if you lift heavy weights, like I do, you have to remember that you have not specifically trained your grip before. You have to build up to it.

Hi there Talise, I found the quality of the gi excellent, but they actually run a bit bigger. I ordered a "4" and it feels like a "5"..hope that helps and enjoy your training:)

I used these for a brief time and thought they were okay. Wish I had tried the regular boxing gloves to compare them too. I think you may need something with more padding for use 4-5 days per week.

I haven't tried using them yet at the gym. They seem like they would work awesome though, because I rest the frame right above my ears and they stay in place very well. I would not be able to answer as far as the sweat issue.

yes, I practiced with it personally for a year and I still have mine downstairs, practiced today and it worked just fine. there is a minor chip on the tip, but that was my fault, wnet to execute a min strike from Jodan no kamae and hit the wall behind me, didnt realize I was that close. The finish on the handle is rather weak, but overall the integrity of the bokken is on par with everyone of them I have seen to date. Note this is as my experience as a Blue Belt with Satori Ryu Do Kenjenutsu.

Depends on the sport. Other martial arts may require more or less padding. I train Brazilan Jiu-jitsu and find that these stay on and protect adequately. Since BJJ has much ground techniques, these pads are very useful. Just be sure that you size them correctly according to the website.

I've owned my pair for about a year, so I'm pretty experienced with these. They come with different accessories to keep them from sliding, and the accessories come in different sizes. You just have to choose which fits you best and prevents them from sliding. When I workout, I get sweaty and have to adjust occasionally, but I've had much worse with other headsets and think that these are great!

I workout with them. Very secure. Never had a problem with slipping off. I don't jog though
