Bauerfeind GenuTrain Knee Support (Nature, 3)

GENUTRAIN Knieband.Gr.5 titan This 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.

This is the best slip on knee support out in the UK market, value for money although is a pricey , I found the comfort is good , plus for pain relief I took the Size 3

good support, material rolls behind knee but seems unavoidable, the right fit/compression. hyper mobility will use for running and walking with backpacks over 65l.

Very comfortable and has helped a very sore knee

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.

Best support for BJJ / grappling / MMA. Comfortable, supportive and stays in place for the whole duration of wear I 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

I well constructed knee support and well worth to price

as described, good quality fast shipment.

One of the best and longer last

Amazing product - I've never had to use a knee brace before, so I did a lot of research and decided on this support brace because it would help me heal faster. Which is exactly what it did. This support brace provided the stability AND comfort while I was in training that I couldn't even tell I had it on. When I took it off after training, my knee felt great and within 2 weeks I am now training without the brace and my knee feels 100%. Thanks Bauerfeind!

Great brace recommended by my orthopedic surgeon. Goes above and beyond the standard knee sleeve. Excellent support, soft and not uncomfortable at all. I've tried many having gone through three knee surgeries. This is by far the best I've ever tried. Great support, physically and mentally.

Made poorly, I wore it 4 times and the rigid side support started ripping through the fabric

I got a total ACL replacement and was looking for a good knee brace to help with BJJ and I really can't recommend this enough. This brace has gotten me through warmups, light rolls, and going hard. My knee feels stable and strong. The brace is so flexible you can really barely tell it's there. The only thing I would recommend is wearing the brace over a pair of leggings or spats as the fabric right on your skin may irritate it a little and it will def get super sweaty which is just uncomfortable. But when I wear it over leggings it's amazing. My physical therapist says this is a great brand and I definitely trust his opinion. Just make sure you measure your knee right! Mine fits perfect.
