Move Freely Without Knee Pain Holding You Back
Relieve pain, improve stability, and move with confidence using support that fits your knee's natural shape.
Dealing with knee pain, weakness, or instability during training or daily movement?
Introducing the Anaconda Active Knee Support - lightweight support built with the same trusted technology as the original Anaconda Knee Brace, redesigned for effortless everyday wear.
It provides support and stability with 3D compression engineered for comfort and long wear, giving your knee the reinforcement it needs, without slowing you down.
Why Athletes Choose Anaconda's 3D Compression Over Generic Knee Sleeves
Your knees aren't shaped like tubes. So why wear support that is?
Most knee sleeves have no shape or structure to them - basic tubes that don't fit properly and give no support or real compression.
The problem with loose compression is the knee naturally has poor blood flow - it's why soreness and stiffness are so common - and why the knee heals slowly.
Anaconda's 3D Compression fit changes that. It's engineered to follow your leg's natural shape, delivering targeted support and circulation where your knee needs it.
This means you get enhanced blood flow, easing stiffness, and helping you feel lighter, looser, and more mobile with every step.
Supportive Relief That Helps You Move Compression helps promote blood flow, easing stiffness and supporting comfort even while you train. It encourages delivery of nutrients to surrounding muscles and joint tissue.
Stability Without Restriction Dual spring side stabilizers provide balanced reinforcement - helping reduce unwanted twisting, hyperextension, and instability.
Locked-In Fit That Doesn't Slide Engineered for your knee's natural shape and lined with internal silicone grips, it stays firmly in place. No slipping. No adjusting. No distractions.
Lightweight Support That's Easy to Wear
Slide it on in seconds. Feel the difference instantly.
It's light, low-profile, and flexible enough to wear comfortably all day. Whether you're training, walking, or recovering, it fits seamlessly into your routine without slowing you down.
Anaconda Is Trusted by 500,000+ Athletes Worldwide
Originally built for fighters, now rebuilt to support athletes of all disciplines – powered by the same trusted technology that helps thousands train and recover better.
Guaranteed To Support You Or Your Money Back
Try it for 30 days, completely risk-free.
If you don't feel more support and stability in your knees during everyday movement, training, or work, send it back for a full refund. No questions asked.

Knee brace with lateral supports to stabilize side-to-side movements
Patients who want a little help with knee stability may appreciate this knee brace. The knee itself has ligaments and muscles to give stability, but sometimes they cannot provide the stability people need to feel secure when moving. That's why I like that this brace includes lateral side supports. By helping the knee feel more supported on each side, the brace may stabilize some of the side-to-side movements that can make some individuals feel off-balance. Wearing a brace can also increase movement-confidence for patients concerned about their stability, possibly helping them walk, stand, or be active without feeling as worried.
Maintains controlled movement to help prevent knee hyperextension
When the knee extends beyond a healthy range, it can place increased stress on the ligaments and surrounding tissues, which may be very uncomfortable for some. What I like about this brace is that it can provide some daily support for the knee without being overly restrictive. The structured fabric and side supports can also encourage individuals to be more aware of their knee position during movement. This matters for individuals who have to tendency to lock their knees or for anyone that feels unstable when they're upright. I can see this being an excellent way to support the knee when it is vulnerable, so that patients may stand and move more comfortably over time.

Got me back in the game!
Been back into jujitsu for around a year after two years of jujitsu with a few year break in between. I had to stop doing jujitsu because of the pain and issues with my knees, back, and neck. With physical therapy on my back and neck, I was able to come back into jujitsu about a year ago and managed to stay in the game by training a little differently than I had previously. I strictly monitored my volume and intensity in training which helped me to eliminate the back problems but about 4 months back the knee issues started to creep back in. I…

Absolutely fantastic
I suffered a knee injury while rolling a few months back resulting in instability on my left knee. I needed something to help bridge the gap between time of injury and appointment with an orthopedic doc and I chose Anaconda. This brace fully supported my knee while walking and standing. It was very noticeable that my knee was more stable with it on compared to not wearing it at all. It kept the tendons and joints compressed and supported and made the world of a difference. The gel pad over the knee is a game changer as well. When on the mats…

Great
I have tried many different braces right now. I am trying your one with the supports in the side that cannot be used in competition. I like that the best for Drive and Tractor trailer I have two of the ones that are just braces with the bottom strap that wraps up, keeps it from slipping down, slipping up You know I really like your product. I just wish there was a way to clean them and have them dry faster so that I don’t go a day without them and I can’t afford to buy two more so I don’t know what you can do for me, but I would appreciate any…

I’m 49 and came to jujitsu late , it’s been a struggle with injuries, I ended up with a torn minicus in my left knee and to top it off then smashed my right knee in a roll going for a take down , I was yawing some cheep knee pads from Amazon at the time , then I seen a add for anaconda knee pads on Facebook and thought I need to try them even tho there over priced for what they are , it sounds luke I’m chatting shit but they keep my knee so tightly in place my knee never locked up since , the biggest thing was the other day my coach Clayton…

Fantastic Brace!
I’m over 50 and been hard on my body over the years. ACL reconstruction and meniscal tears to name a couple. From combatives training to other active pursuits - like hiking, etc. - and a physically demanding job, I’ve just endured the pain and discomfort with wraps or off-the-shelf knee braces that slip or don’t provide the right kind of support. I thought I’d see if the Anaconda Knee Brace lived up to the hype, and it’s been a game changer. Finally a brace that doesn’t slip and provides just the right amount of compression and support. I wear…

A gamechanger for old knees in wolleyball
I love these kneebraces <3 I am 47 years old man and I play wolleyball and/or basketball 3-4 times a week and my knees used to swell up after each practice so bad that I could barely walk at the end of the week. No structual damage. . . just 47 years old knees. After I started using the Anaconda kneebraces the swelling has almost completly stopped. Sounds to good to be true I know. . . but it is the god honest truth. They are so good that I have been getting these braces for my friends that are with me in wolleyball and they love them too. The…

Anaconda knee brace
After dislocating my knee numerous times I’ve been left with weak muscle and tendons I had previously used lots of different braces trying to gain a bit of stability back but none seem to give me support and be supple enough to allow movement until I tried the Anaconda it’s strong in support flexible allowing excellent range of movement lightweight and comfortable it can be used all day long and not to mention the price tag makes it the most perfect knee brace I’ve ever used. This is a must buy for anyone requiring support and movement you can…

Great for active mothers of all ages
I am a 45 year old mother who trains jujitsu to help keep my fibromyalgia in check. . I got 2 knee guards to help keep my knees in shape for training (too many years of plyometrics behind me) last year, I went hiking with my 71 year old mother in fundy national park on an advanced trail.

New lease on training
I suffered a Meniscus tear, MCL tear and ACL sprain back in 2022. After intense physical therapy I was unable to return fully to training because of knee issues, any knee brace I tried would slip, wouldn’t give me the support necessary or be too cumbersome for serious training. Since I’ve began using this knee brace I’ve been able to fully return to training and competition. I have to say for serious mixed martial arts competitors it is the absolute best brace on the market for those with long lasting injuries, offering the best support and…

Absolutely amazing
One month out from full ACL reconstruction on my left knee using my hamstring, and I'm back in the gym and on the mats. Obviously only doing some light drills and no rolling on the mats but it's still hugely beneficial for my mindset being able to drill with confidence. That's what these supports do. I find them super comfortable and they don't slip down like previous ones. The knee pad is excellent too, I still have some discomfort in the knee when kneeling so the pad is vital to build my resistance back up. Thanks Anaconda for helping me…

Iain Harrison anaconda knee brace
Definitely the best guys in the game for your braces I had acl/meniscus surgery 9 months ago turned my world upside down couldn’t train jits anymore so on going with rehab now I’m seeing the light and feeling strong but after purchasing the brace I feel so much more safe/confident whilst doing any form of exercise and will definitely be using them for being back rolling/drilling Been through a lot of knee braces and this ticks all the boxes for me would 100% recommend great job team oss 💪

Can take my stairs again!
I have not been able to walk up or down my stairs for two weeks😭. I had a knee sleeve that Ive used for years off and on, but it didn’t seem to be doing me any good this time. I saw the ad and ordered the anaconda knee braces for both knees even though my left knee was the one giving me problem. I put the sleeves on just now and was able to walk up and down my flight of stairs without any pain in my left knee. OMG🥹 These are beyond amazing. 👍🏽

Keep it moving
I’m a 45 yo brown belt. I have a medial meniscus tear, baker’s cyst, and osteoarthritis I’m my left knee. I train 4-5 days a week. I have tried every knee brace available and I can say without hyperbole that this is the best option that I have used to date. It’s stays out which is the most important factor in my opinion. It doesn’t bunch up, and it offers a great amount of support without feeling binding or constricting. 10/10 would recommend
KKarl B.
Knee supports
My other purchase after shoulder support is the knee brace, osteoarthritis in both knees but right knees is worse and the times my knee has just gone on me when just stood up still, and trying to kneel down ect, using this after seeing loads of ads used by bjj guys ect and it dies what it says in the tin, loads of support and the padding is so comfy, doesn’t slide down your leg like most do and it feels so supportive. Brilliant brace

Keeps me going every week!
I'm 47, have been kickboxing twice a week for almost 5 years, and have been practicing jiu-jitsu for a few months now. Issues began with my right knee about 2 months ago, causing me to stay out of class a week or 2 at a time. I've been using this brace for three weeks now, and I haven't missed a class...kickboxing followed with jiu-jitsu twice a week...with no knee problems afterwards! Thank you for this awesome product!
Jjason p.
Highly recommended for more than bjj
Amazing product. solid construction, adequate velcro that doesnt come undone, love the rubber grip on the inside to keep it from shifting. fits super comfortably, doesnt bunch up behind the knee like low end neoprene. Great for more than just bjj. I just wore it up 3000 ft of ice climbing. Thank you so much Anaconda for making such a great product. Im not sure I could have made it up the climb without it.

I cannot be happier
After several Knee injuries I have used several types of braces. Most were ok but Anaconda helped more then any I have purchased before (including high end sports braces). With these braces and recovery system I have been able to get back in the field better and more often then I have other thought I could do. I will be recommending these braces to all my medieval fighting friends.
MMari S.
Excellent brace
This brace is excellent. Period. I have no wore it for regular workouts, kickboxing, jujitsu, calf branding (yes cowgirl stuff), and I wear it for my 10 hour patrol shifts 4 days a week. I have an active medial meniscus tear that I’m protecting until the surgery is scheduled and this brace is not only helping control pain, but swelling and keeping me confident moving.

Out with old in with the new.
I've had my anaconda knee brace for very long time and it's proven wonders. Now I have to get a new one with the stabilizers. I don't practice jiu-jitsu by working construction and I do a lot of bending and kneeling and this knee brace is so comfortable when I work, and when I'm on my feet 12 hours a day. I have tried many different braces but this one fits the best.

Great for BJJ
It was e exactly what I expected, just the size that shows in the page is a little bit smaller, so I sent 1 pair back and ordered another M for me and the Small for my mother, I’m just waiting for my money back, besides that is great, I been doing Jiu Jitsu for more than 10 years and is difficult to find good stuff to prevent injuries!!

Knee brace does exactly what it was meant to do! Wore it at competition last weekend, felt good gave me confidence in securing my knee. Won a competition match for the first time!!! Maybe a placebo effect but i felt confident with my knee and gave all i could!! Thinking of getting the ankle sleeve to protect them before an injury;) OSS

Every lineman needs to wear these
These are fantastic for football players. My son is an offensive lineman. Needs support and protection but still needs to BE AGILE AND MOBILE. Six games into the season and these are proving to be an excellent choice without having to use Hu’s my h larger bulkier and movement restricting Don Joy braces. Btw I just bought two more

Absolutely Aweso.e
I now have 3 knee supports as I train a lot. I was really skeptical at first as I have been trying to find one that doesn't slip and stops the knee pain. Well after spending a lot on different knee supports I have finally found the one that does it all. Well done Anaconda.

Purchased this after purchasing an elbow pad. It is definitely a fantastic product. It stays on. It has adequate protection around the patella. I got one without the side springs and it works great. My knee is finally starting to improve. Thank you!

Love this brace!
This knee brace has been awesome! It's a huge relief to feel cushion and support instead of pain when we're learning jiu jitsu or throwing a knee in kickboxing. It's giving me a lot more confidence and so much less pain and injury in my knee.

Best knee brace ever!!!
This brace is the best thing you’ll find. It’s supportive and super comfortable. I was worried I would not be able to train and when you wear this you forget that you have an injury all together. Thank you anaconda for this amazing product!!!

I'm so glad that i gave these a try! they are great offer real support and relief. i have had issues with one of my knees for over 20 years with little to no assistance from any medical intervention that i have tried, short of pushing to get an operation that may not help the issue. with the knee brace my knees no longer feel like they are clicking in and out of place, its so much more comfortable to walk/move! the shoulder brace…

Anaconda knee brace review.
Here's my review of the Anaconda Fightwear kneebrace I purchased. Just a little background on my knees. I've practiced some sort of Martial Art now for 50 years. I've had ACL surgery on both my knees in 2013 and 2016. Currently I have anterior and posterior medial meniscus tears, and near bone on bone on my left knee. Probably looking at a knee replacement in the future. I've used several different braces ,the Anaconda is longer than most and has straps that wrap around from bottom to top. There is gel padding as well as a microfiber lining at…

I want to take a minute to thank AnacondaFightwear. co, whoever came up with these knee, elbow, back, and shoulder braces… y’all really knew what you were doing. Honestly, some of this gear feels like it has bonus features built in. I don’t know what kind of magic weave you're using, but it works. I’ve been using one of your knee sleeves, and ever since, no more knee issues. That’s saying a lot considering I tore my ACL and meniscus years ago. I’ve worn all kinds of braces, some recommended by doctors, and most of them felt like overpriced…

Converted sceptic!
Struggled on for a while with a niggling knee injury in traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu that I made worse at the end of one session just sitting in Seiza- pop!- needed a solution to help me train and protect my knee whilst it heals so I started looking into braces. Came across lots of glowing reviews about the Anaconda gear and checked them out but I had my doubts- looked too good to be true! Thought the reviews were probably BS but with limited options and at only £50 it was worth a try and if it turned out to be rubbish I’d trash it here for…

I have arthritis in my left knee and a fresh acl, mcl, pcl repair in my right knee. Trying my best to keep up with a sport I love so much even tho my body is slowly falling apart. I have a collection of knee braces at this point and the Anaconda is the only one that has showed consistant quality. I had a minor problem with the first order of braces I ordered, I got them with the stabilizer. Now due to my body type or whatever reason the stabilizer started poking out of the brace.

The anaconda knee brace is amazing! I don’t know where to start but here we go. I have had knee problems for decades. I’m 38 and have been doing construction work and working from my knees for almost 20 years. I have tried so many other braces I have lost count. They say that these knee braces don’t slip when training and I was sceptical. Well I’ve used the anaconda’s for a couple weeks training bjj for 3+ hours a day 3-4 times a week, other than fixing the top of the brace a few times, they have not slid off my knees.

I’m in my late 30’s, turning 40 this year, and chronically dealing with a medial knee ligament issue (a tendon injury sustained during weightlifting, not jujitsu) that remains a moderate thing to keep my eye on.

Amazing knee brace for grappling and striking
I bought 4 of the anaconda knee braces due to having 2 tears on my meniscus on my left leg. Before I went surgery that I just received on May 10th 2014 I was still lightly training for about 1 year with basically white belts in my work gym. Before I purchased the knee braces I would only be able to train maybe 1 or 2 times in a 6 day work set grappling or Jiu jitsu. In that same 6 days I would strike sparring kickboxing as well 1 or 2 times in those 6 days. No matter what I did or sleeve I wore my knee would be swollen and I wasn’t able to…

Saved my knees twice!
Writing this review as I came back to Anaconda a year after buying my first pair of knee braces. I do BJJ and the very first time I wore the Anaconda knee brace we were doing a guard pulling drill when a white belt fell forward onto my leg with my foot still in his hip. All of his weight torqued my right knee which led to a sprained knee. This could have been way more severe with the support of the brace. This week, during a roll, I was escaping an attempted leg lock and ended up feeling a pop in my left knee. I could walk right away and…

Not a miracle drug, but it helps. Probably will buy another.
Why I bought a knee brace I’m 58 and my knees just hurt sometimes. Agitated it a few months ago, and was having a lot of knee pain going up and down stairs, etc. Not a full tear, but painful. For jiu jitsu it was impacting some knee slice passes and shooting was really painful. Technical stand ups or anything that flexes the knee was hurting. So I wanted a knee brace. Why this one I get a lot of BJJ content aimed at me online and saw this brace. I saw a video review that talked about how this one had a few features aimed specifically at BJJ…

I love my Anaconda knee pads. And, I love their name Anaconda! Initially I purchased the style with side braces, however I returned them because the side braces created more support than what I need. The side braces are no doubt perfect if you have knee injuries, post surgery etc...

They actually feel nice and cozy on my knees, and I forget…

Im not one to write reviews but this brace was so much better then what I was expecting. I love jujitsu and rolling. Unfortunately I broke my femur and ruptured my PLC last year in a car accident and couldn’t role for over a year due to this despite two surgeries and physical therapy more months. I recently got to a point where I can get back into it but me knee is not the same and was holding me back. My black belt instructor recommended this brand to me and so I decided to try it out. My first role with it I was able to go at it full…

Helping my knees feel like new again
My name is Feliz R Mejia III Head Instructor at Temple of Nemesis Jujūtsu. And I know you'll be study traditional Japanese Jujūtsu But we also combine it with the riggers of modern martial arts to keep ourselves on edge. And as I get older I come to realize this art form is a young man's game and I have been looking at the anaconda knee brace being publicized on social media for over a month before I decided to give it a try. And I kid you not I am glad I bought my knee sleeves, I have tried various other ones. The same problem I kept coming…

Best knee brace on the market
I had 5 knee surgeries, 3 on the left and 2 on the right. It is clear that for this reason I have tried many things, physio tapes, bandage and at least 5 diferents knee brace makers. The only thing that worked a little better has been physio tape masterfully appllicated that is a pain to do and a pain to take off expecially if you have hair on your legs. I was not expecting much from Anaconda to say the truth, but since the very convenient price, less then any of the other knee brace I have tried in the past, I gave it a try. As soon as I wor…

Anaconda knee straps
I have no Cartledge in my knee so it is bone on bone and it flares up every so often ( i am 48yrs old) and I have been doing jujitsu for afew years now for the last 2 months I have just been doing technique on the side lines while everyone else is having fun rolling last week I got the confidence to grapple with the knee straps on I truely am shocked how much they have helped me out I am a boxing coaching and I wear one knee strap every day if I don’t wear a strap my knee feels loose and unstable and I dare not demonstrate any boxing moves…

I was pretty skeptical at
I was pretty skeptical at first. Everyone’s injuries are different and no brace, I have tried, has seemed to support the area where I feel pain. This brace is designed really well and has quality materials and stitching. It is effective for me! I feel supported but also don’t feel like I am compromising mobility. I am still cautious with my movement as I strengthen my knee, but I feel substantially better physically with it on, and psychologically I feel more confident with movement and motion that I don't trust myself with when the brace is…

A Game Changer for BJJ Recovery
After injuring my LCL, I was worried I’d be sidelined from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for much longer than I could handle. Enter the Anaconda Knee Brace-and I genuinely mean this-it’s been a lifesaver on the mats. From the first roll back, I noticed the difference. The brace provides exceptional lateral support, exactly what I needed to protect my LCL without sacrificing mobility. It doesn’t slip, bunch up, or cut off circulation like some other braces I’ve tried. It stays locked in place through scrambles, takedowns, and even those chaotic leg…

Great product- glad I purchased it
So far I am very pleased with this product. I purchased 2, both with the rigid/metal supports as I wanted a spare. I am an active person but not MMA of any kind. I needed something that stays put and is comfortable. So far I have only used one of the two but as weather warms up and I get more and more active will need the second one to keep them both clean. Couple of things-I am not sure what exactly what I did to my knee to need a brace, never had it fully diagnosed but when it hurts I can really struggle just to walk. Any brace seems to help…

It's working for me!
I'm the wrong side of 45 😉 and have played sport most of my life. I recently stopped playing rugby and have reengaged with Martial Arts - specifically grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It didn't take long before my right knee was painful during training despite my conditioning and mobility work. So I responded to an Instagram advert and ordered two XL knee braces, I'm 6 feel tall and weight around 100kg, I have large thighs from the rugby years. Key things for me: 1) It does not slip around like others I've tried in the past 2) The pain is…

Excellent customer service
I recently purchase this item, I’ve rolled wearing and it provides great support when rolling. I can’t give a full review of the durability of the product as I’ve only had it for less than a month. However, so far it’s doin wha it’s suppose to be doing. Furthermore, the item I got had a defect were the straps were detaching from the brace. I’m sure it was a random deal, and a small defect. If this is an ongoing issue with other knee braces I would suggest some more reinforcement in that area of the brace. Anyways, I contacted them with the…

Does what it promises and more.
After a knee surgery in my left knee and a real nasty injury in my right knee, I had to stop judo for about seven months. I was in terrible pain constantly. Yesterday, although I was really stressed, I put on my pair of Anakonda knee braces. At first, it was a bit weird. The L size was OK for me but I felt like Robocop, plus my knees were still hurting like hell. The first half hour in the dojo was disappointing. I thought "that's it, you will never be well enough to train properly " But, after some 30 minutes, I began feeling more and more…

Amazing Relief and Support - Far Beyond Expectations
I’ve owned several knee braces in my life, so I approached this one with a bit of scepticism. However, after just a few hours of using the Anaconda Knee Brace, I felt an incredible sense of relief that’s hard to put into words. The comfort and support are on a completely different level compared to anything I’ve tried before. What surprised me the most is how stable my knee feels during everyday movement - no slipping, no discomfort, just solid support throughout the day. During training as well as normal daily use, this piece of equipment…
JJAMES Q.
incredibly impresed
I really cant rave enough about the brace. Im older and heavier than most and while my knees aren't terrible, I was starting to have discomfort in one knee in particular. The brace has really allowed me to work harder and recover faster between practices than I would have expected. I really cant say enough. I bought two and have one just one, nearly every day for a few hours a day for about 2 months now. It has kept up well. My only advice is wash it on cold and let it air dry. I think the brace is assembled with fabric adhesive that may come…

Bought it for my brother for wrestling
I myself train jiu jitsu and already love anacondas products, but I bought a set of these with the ankle braces for my little brother who does wrestling. He was previously using the knee “braces” from the drug store, which constantly slid down and literally distracted him from being able to train effectively, while not helping with pain nor stabilizing the joints. My brother absolutely loves these things. They’re so comfortable that he has told me he forgot he’s even wearing it after an hour of training. The straps make them stay on great, the…

Game changer
Excellent knee brace. I injured my left knee in a Krav Maga belt test back in April. 3 months later I had Krav Phase A instructor test that lasted 4 days. Leading up to the test I was still experiencing a lot of pain when I put pressure on my knee while it was bent. I started the test anyway, but with a cheap brace I borrowed from a friend (it helped some). I received my Anaconda brace in time to use it the last 2 days of the test. I was surprised by what a game changer it was. I experienced significantly less pain and a better range of…

Fantastic product and customer service
My knee had slowly been causing issues until one day I was laid up in bed for several days. I tried several different braces and compression sleeves, each of them either did not provide the support or they kept sliding and rolling down. Sadly, I did not have high hopes because of my experience with the others, but I thought I would give it a try. The price was right. I've already recommended this brace to others. It stays in place and offers excellent support. I was honestly surprised how well this brace performs. From the follow up emails…

Just get them!!!
I tore everything in my knee a year and an half ago. Had surgery and was still not confident training after so much physiotherapy. I tried some other braces and still was not confident. I found the Anaconda braces and they are amazing! Comfort-honestly you don’t even know they’re on. Quality- they are made with great material they still seam like new. I originally got the older style with no gel and loved them but the tendinitis in my patellar tendon still hurt. Definitely nothing a brace could help with but then I saw Anaconda’s new braces…

Anaconda knee brace --> the best there is, period
It's been 6 months since I purchased two Anaconda knee braces (with stability inserts). I use them in No-Gi sessions 2 to 3 times per week. I wanted to test the durability of the item before I gave my review. At first I was a little concerned that the inserts would stretch and rip the material and that they were deforming. The inserts have not broke through the material and are bendable (so if deformed you can bend them back into place with no issues). To keep them in good condition I attach the Velcro portions and place them in a mesh bag and…

A No Brainer!
After seeing multiple people using Anaconda Fight wear products at my club and hearing all of their positive reviews it was a no brainer to give the knee support a go. I had been struggling with my knee for several weeks; I was amazed at the support given by the knee brace and the difference it made to not only helping my movement whilst training but how much better my knee felt afterwards. I was struggling with a sharp pain down the inside of my knee as I was getting over injury, the support almost completely resolved this issue whilst…

I really needed these
I’ve been training for almost 10 years, coming up to my 42nd birthday in a few weeks. I’ve had a previous knee injury (meniscus) and have always had knees that are sensitive to injury since being a child. Up to now I’ve used generic knee socks and another set of gel pad sleeves for if it’s a class that’s working things like kneeling passes or a lot of takedowns. These braces are an absolute game changer for me. Very comfortable, breathable, they don’t come off soaked in sweat. You don’t have to adjust them all the time once on, they stay in…

Worth every penny!
So, I am not an athlete, lol, im a 55 yr old active gardener, wannabe flower farmer! I run a small garden shop, I walk on gravel all day long and hurt my knee at work one day. My husband, who is a huge MMA fan, noticed your product and suggested I try it out. As soon as I put my knee brace on, I knew we bought the right brace. I had an instant sense of security that my knee would not give out. When walking on the gravel, my steps felt secure, and even semi-running, I was actually taking full steps, not running on my toes. This brace is worth…

Best Knee Braces out there!
Although I’m very active I don’t actually do martial arts. I have various issues with my knees (misalignment/instability/damage) which causes constant pain that increases during exercise, sometimes stopping me exercising for weeks at a time. I have tried so many braces/knee supports over the years. Normally they either don’t help at all or sometimes even exacerbate the problems. The anaconda knee braces are amazing. I purchased two, one for each knee and they really are brilliant. I thought they were a bit on the expensive side at first but…

Best Knee Braces
Really good knee brace. As a 58-year-old white belt, coming into BJJ with previous athletic injuries and severe arthritis, these knee braces are saving my knees. My knees have taken a pounding from extreme downhill mountain bike racing, road bike racing and rock climbing. Thanks so much, these knee braces allow me to continue to train in this addicting sport. It's important to keep the joints moving, so that I can continue to perform at my job as a sport charter ocean captain. Making a living on the ocean is hard on the body, and I frequently…

Great brace for golf for people knee replacement
I am 56 years old, I have tried may knee braces with and without stabilizers do to having my knee replaced and up until now the copper was my go to brace for playing golf. This product blows away the copper fit. If you take the time and measure to make sure you get the proper fit you be very happy just put on and it STAYS put you don't even think of it again. Very comfortable. Does it's it's job keeping swelling to s minimum. I did not wear the velcro straps the way they are intended crossing them in the back of the knee but wrapped them…

At 59, it gave me my mobility back
HS basket ball and college rugby have taken a toll on my knees as I approached my senior years. Dealing with the pain was manageable but I had lost my mobility due to joint instability and having no meniscus or cartilage left in my right knee. I couldn't get off the floor without using some form of assistance. I saw your commercial on Instagram and decided to give you a go. After years of not being to get up off the floor without help, I can do it again, quickly. Not only that but my mobility has increased DRAMATICALLY. I'm honestly having a…

Insanely good product!
This brace from Anaconda is legit, I injured my knee pretty badly a few months ago. Which has hindered my shooting and takedown game. I was mainly working guard, and just doing what I could to keep training. Probably needed surgery and to rest it more… but us grapplers and fighters don’t do well just sitting out. I truly recommend this even if you haven’t hurt your knees, for insurance purposes. Keeping your knees healthy and protected. These guys are very nice and have great customer service. I had ordered mine and it said they had arrived.…

Not bad!
I enjoy the knee brace. My experience, It helps, it works. I had minor injury on my knee because well... I'm on my knee so much when sparring bjj, something popped inside, was sore. I feel that I need to order this so i can continue training and I'd die if i don't. I'm a size small typically but because I'm in between size S and XS, i was recommended the XS. When i first put it on, i thought it's too tight on me but as i move around as I wear it for a while, overtime and a few times, the stretchy part slowly shape onto my knee. I bought two…

Excellent support for BJJ training
I’ve had surgery on both knees in the past, so knee braces are essential for my BJJ training. Recently my knee pain had been getting worse, even while wearing braces, and recovery was taking longer after each session. That’s why I decided to try Anaconda knee braces. I’m very impressed with the level of support they provide. The gel padding absorbs impact extremely well and, most importantly, my knees did not feel worse after training. I used them for several sessions before writing this review to make sure the improvement was consistent, and…

This is outstanding
Black belt in BJJ, torn my MCL and Meniscus in a freak accident during a roll and was off the mats for 6 months. I'd seen the Anaconda knee brace advertised and everyone I knew who had them couldn't recommend them highly enough. There was a real worry for me, about my knee, coming back to training especially rolling but all that worry has completely gone with this knee brace! It absolutely is outstanding, supports your knee perfectly and stays in place for both Gi and NoGi no matter how hard the rounds are. I've just ordered another pair I am…

Worth it
Great customers service. Has an issue with sizing and it was handled super easy. I got a pair for me and my son including elbow pads for him aswell. He uses them for football and said it helped A Lot with his knee pain and elbow. For me I used them for the around padding around the knee since I work as a mechanic and in the beginning of the day there’s a lot of racking up vehicle and have to get under the car to visually inspect the arms are in the correct spot on the frame. They work great, a little uncomfortable at first and then by lunch…

Not just for Jiu Jitsu
I first learned about these knee braces through a friend who does jiu Jitsu. He tells me they're a great product. Seen the company was having a buy one get one free promotion happening, so i jumped on it. What convinced me to give these a try was seeing my mother struggle moving around the last few weeks. I came by the house, and she was using a cane for the first time just to get around. I found out her arthritis in her knee was acting up after getting her checked out. I made sure to get her proper measurements & order this brace for her.…

I accidently had the wrong address listed and immediately contacted the company via email. They immediately updated the address, however, the shipping company used my old address where I had no means to recieve my order. I was totally bummed as I had placed an order for the 2 pad package and have been dealing with both of my torn meniscus on the mat, and my other pads were working, but just lacking that "something." The company was quick to respond to the updated email chain, and ultimately sent me a pair to my correct address. True customer…

Not just for BJJ
I’m a Krav Maga practitioner who took a couple of hard knee strikes to the inside and backside of my left knee during sparring. Other knee braces failed to give me support while healing and maintaining some level of training, so I tried Anaconda on the recommendation of a fellow practitioner. I’m sure glad I did. The brace stays locked in place through all of the various techniques of Krav Maga, be it grappling, kicking, knees, etc. I can train at decent capacity while the ligaments in my knee fully recover so I’m a happy customer.

I'll update this review after I've used it for a while but honestly tonight I could cry with relief. I've been having knee pain for months and although I've been recovering, it has been lingering off and on or coming back when i've trained. I've been using a different knee brace and while that one helped, i never trained pain free. Tonight though, I managed a full training session without my knee being a hinderance. I even managed wall sits without worrying. I didn't know whether to belief the hype because sometimes these things you feel are…

A bit of a different ‘fight’
I purchased the Anaconda Knee Brace for my quietly disintegrating knees, rather than for sports support needs. There are similar products here in Australia, but none provided the ability to find correct sizing, length, the wrapping straps, and the option for side supports along the knee. These Anaconda braces are exactly what I was looking for and do an amazing job of aligning and supporting the knee, and especially in reducing pain. They’ve helped to get me moving a lot more and keeping me on my feet without tiring out quickly. They also…

The best balance of support and comfort I’ve found
I’ve tried quite a few knee supports over the years, and these are easily the best I’ve used so far. I’ve got a fairly unstable knee, meniscus tear, patellar maltracking and some osteoarthritis, so I need something that actually supports me without feeling restrictive. The Anaconda Active Knee Support strikes that balance really well. It’s comfortable enough to wear through full sessions, but still gives me the support and confidence to train properly and build strength. That confidence piece is a big deal when you’re dealing with a dodgy…

Awesome Knee Brace ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My right knee has no cartilage in it, and arthritis due to having 2 full knee reconstruction’s years ago. This Brace has been awesome and Ive found it doesn’t slip during rolling sessions even when I have guys trying to go for leglocks. I’ve also found as an older guy in my late 40’s, that I’m not getting pain in my knee anymore when I’m passing from the knees or going for takedowns. Before I got the Anaconda knee brace, I used to get a lot of annoying pain doing the above, but I’m no longer paranoid or reluctant anymore and I can play my game…

Great purchase, makes me feel confident in my ability to roll.
I suffered a minor grade 1 strain in my LCL from jiu jitsu practice. I was really concerned regarding the future of my ability to practice. After taking some time off, and exploring a few options of braces, the Anaconda knee brace has been a great pick. I purchased two, have yet to even touch the other, and wear the one knee brace three times a week. There are some signs of use on the material, but the velcro and compression continues to work effectively. My only complaint is initially, the behind of my knee would get very irritated and itchy…

Excellent purchase
I’ve had three knee surgeries on my left knee, and I decided to start Jiu-jitsu (or as I like to call it Joy-Jitsu) as a 44 year old, out of shape guy. I bought a bauerfield genutrain knee brace because I wanted to protect my knee with what I thought would be the best. 6 months after purchasing the brace is started to fall apart. I tossed it and purchased a pair of Anaconda knee braces for a fraction of the price, and after nearly two months I’m mad at myself for not purchasing these at the start. Love the fit, the ease of washing, and the gel…

We bought these for our son who is a high school wrestler. . . He felt a little pain in his knee so we decided to prevent it from turning into an injury. We bought one for training and one for competition. . At first we bought a few at the local store which seemed to be no more than a tight thick foamy knee sock offering minimal support. . . The first time he used these he told us about his knee movement being free feeling but restricted from stretching into unnatural positions. . .

I have medial meniscus tear and cartlidge tear that constantly cause pain,inflammation and instability to the point I literally can't walk down a slight hill.

Tweaked my knee
Bought a few crappy cheaper versions of something like this, hoping to spend less money …..they worked like crap of coarse, finally made the decision to buying the anaconda sleeve… DONT LOOK any FURTHER! The Anaconda knee brace is amazing! It’s by far a superior product and I wish I would have spent the extra $10-15 originally. This brace is soft, supports really well. There’s a luxurious gel pad at the knee ( which I didn’t think I needed until I had it). It stays put, and made my knee feel really well supported. I was concerned prior to this…

Ive had knee problem ever sense High School... and I've always had to wear knee braces doing any physical activity. As a 46 year old man, both my knees need extra attention these days, especially when I attend my Teakwood class. I came across the Anaconda Knee brace in a social media add and they caught my attention. Reluctently I placed an order for 2 knees braces to see how they would help me if any... and I was very surprised how much they have helped me and how easy they seem to just wrap around my knees and give the support I need.

Great Product and Great Customer Service
Man, Anaconda Fightwear has a great customer service team. First off, I love the stability these things give my knee. I tore 3 tendons and and muscle in my leg while training Jiu Jitsu a few months back, and this brace has more stability than the $150 dollar brace my ortho prescribed. Also, I was sent 2 of the wrong style braces but it turned out I loved them. I contacted customer service and asked to keep the two I was sent and order two more. Not only did they discount 2 braces for less than the price of one, but also paid for expedited…

Anaconda knee brace
This Anaconda knee brace will give you much needed support. Even if you don't have any knee problems, there is an advantage to using these from time to time. The support band might not be so desired for full time ware or ever. My calfs are large and it took a few days for the support strap on the inside to contour to the calf n movement, but it dose not irritate it any more at all. It didn't stop me from using it either. . Worse case is use a large padded bandaid or exchange it for no support lengths on the sides. It did contour for me without…

Great product. Allowed me to come back to training and competition after an ACL tear.
Great product. I tore my ACL and while I am waiting for a surgery I wanted to keep training. This product supports my knee well and I was able to get back on the mats. I train MMA too and am able to even do kickboxing drills and light sparring too. Started feeling confident enough and went on to a tournament. Was able to wrestle and scramble without any issue. Got double gold and I would not have been able to do so without something to support my knee. Only issue I had was that at the beginning, the back of my knee would get rubbed a lot from…

Great product
This is the first time i purchase anything for jujitsu. I have only been doing jujitsu for a month or so and my other knee brace slides or rolls down. So I looked into this one and figure for 40 bucks what’s the risk?. Turns out it doesn’t slide or roll down! And it offer better support compared to my other knee brace. The gel pad around the knee does an amazing job at cushioning the impact. Overall I give this product a 9.5 of 10 my only complaint was I didn’t know how the straps worked at first and had to watch a YouTube videos to get the…

This knee sleeve is amazing, i bought into the hype and bought 2 of them and got a great deal. When they came in I was skeptical it would be like every other knee sleeve Ive had as a fighting athlete. Highschool wrestling, kickboxing, bjj, etc. As soon as I put this brace on I just thought it was a nice knee brace with a neat gel knee pad. As soon as I wrapped the straps around my knee I felt all the weight from my torn meniscus leave. I folded the bottom up about 2-3 inches cause of my short legs and it fits amazingly. Its tight and the…

Best knee brace I have ever had!
I had my acl on my right knee torn and when the 10 year mark hit I started to have difficulty staying active and without injury. I have tried several knee braces which all failed. But then I started using the anaconda knee brace and it has kept me injure free and active in taekwondo which requires a lot of hard leg work. This knee brace is the best thing that has happened to me. I am in my mid 40s and I could not be happier that I can stay active and injure free. The side stabilizers and double straps keep my knee safe and the brace in place…

I don’t do Martial Arts
I am not into MA. I ski and do CrossFit. These popped up on IG because I’ve been looking for knee a sleeve that wouldn’t move when I ski, you can imagine how hard it is to keep sleeves in place under layers. I figured if they stay in place doing MA they might stay in place for a 4-6 hour day on the mountain. THEY DIDN’T MOVE, other than settling into place for a couple 4+ hour days. At the gym they stay in place better than every sleeve I’ve tried as well with almost no adjustments. I am stoked to find a product that feels so supportive and…

I work as a north sea fisherman so my knees are constantly in pain trying to keep stable on the rough seas with my injurys, these help so much in keeping my knee supported an stable in rough seas.

Excellent
So I bought 2 of these knee braces (with the springs) for my girlfriends mom who needs double knee replacements and suffers with EDS, her knees really could not get much worse prior to receiving these braces. She has been intermittently using them when she goes out and even when she is just laying down and she LOVES them. They have helped her tremendously just getting through day to day tasks. Preventing injury is impressive, but thebway she is able to function with them despite her knees being completely screwed is extra impressive. Your…

Good for Ice Hockey Goalies
My knees are garbage from playing ice hockey goalie for 25+ years. Having the support and cushioning that was designed for jujitsu also works great for a hockey goalie who goes down to their knees quite often to make saves. Having the knee support has also helps with my “loose knees” - meaning I’ve sprained them so many times that the ligaments are now loose and my knees tend to “pop” as I play. Not a pleasant experience. I’ve used these knee braces in 3 games so far and have had no issues with my knees. The added cushioning has kept them from…

51 year old woman uses knee braces for squats and lunges
The Anaconda knee brace is better than GREAT, it’s OUTSTANDING! I am a 51 year old women, I’m overweight but currently reaching health and fitness goals. I wear the Anaconda knee braces for squats and lunges. I’ve had meniscus surgery on both knees and I broke my right knee cap back in 2018.

Fantastic Knee Support
Having torn a medial ligament years ago, I have tried a number of different supports and have always struggled to strike the balance between a brace that provides great support and is comfortable. With the Anaconda brace range, I have finally managed to strike that balance! Initially I bought just one, for the weaker knee, but I now have two because, as a 58-year old martial artist, I want to protect both knees as I get older and ensure that I will be able to train for years to come. I highly recommend the Anaconda Knee Brace - it doesn’t feel…

I only picked up the knee brace because it was part of the promotion. I've had knee problems for over forty years, but the surgeons really don't want to touch my knee because I'm still pretty active. Therefore, having some support in my knee, is critical. Although I don't run and jump to any extent, I still practice the martial arts and I'm in my late sixties. I also still ski and ride a bike. This brace, next doing those activities, much much easier. Sometimes my knee will just hurt. I'll put the brace on for a while and the pain goes away. I…

Have to get used to not feeling pain!
Start with the con: My knees are thinner than my lower thigh and calves so there is some extra space in that area and movement but it is what it is. Pros: it’s works! I roll more explosively and less worried about the pain that’s going to go shooting through my knee during movement. Honestly the first time I rolled with it on I knelt half way and clenched my teeth because I knew the pain would come and then was caught so off guard that there wasn’t any! I will say that it does move left to right sometimes but also I’m Asian so I have bigger…

THE BEST!
First night back to rolling and holy **** this actually blew my mind, I had a severe knee injury lcl last month at a competition and was off the mats for almost a month but, with ice and cbd my knee got a little better. I was still off the mats studying and stuff, trying not to be sad or anything 🥲😂 also the how to recover faster it’s a big PLUS. now is where it gets good, I was hearing about this Anaconda knee brace for a while now and I really have to say that the HYPE is real guys, the confidence I got from training tonight it was…

New to jujitsu with a bad knee
I’m 41 and new to jujitsu. I have had a previous knee surgery years prior to joining jujitsu and my first few times rolling my knee was swollen and super sore, enough so that it kept me up at night. I seen this add for the anaconda knee brace and the fact that the founder of the anaconda knee brace was a Jujitsu fighter maybe the decision to buy a pair of them simple. Since wearing them at jujitsu my knee pain is all gone. The fact that it stays in place the entire time is super awsome. If it weren’t for these Anaconda knee braces, I don’t…

Very stabilising and comfortable
I dislocated my knee 3 months ago and was using a different brace when trying to get back into training which kept falling down and bunching behind my knee and basically wasn’t helping much. I bought a pair of Anaconda knee braces after looking at fighter specific reviews. (Bought the pair coz I keep losing kit at the gym and the price was good) I can honestly say I love them. The brace stays up and the cross straps make me feel more secure. The spring stride struts are brilliant and I am way more confident getting back to Muay Thai and MMA.…

Great support for athletes with HSD/EDS
I know these are for martial arts, but I use them for roller derby under my knee pads and for lifting at the gym. They're fantastic for both! As someone with hypermobility and connective tissue disorder, these really give me great stability and peace of mind during my physical activities. My knees go through a lot of twisting and torquing, but these knee braces really alleviate pain and dislocations. The wrap around straps are absolutely the selling point here and what separates these from other knee braces. I highly recommend. Also, customer…

Customer service is spot on.
I was nervous about contacting anaconda right wear after reading some of the 1 star reviews. I purchased a knee brace, wore it a few time, and had some threading come out. The brace really made my knee feel better while grappling. I contacted them through their website and within an hour I received and email asking for photos and making sure all my contact information was correct. The same day got confirmation that a replacement knee brace was on the way. I couldn’t be more happy with the customer service. The brace also is incredible, it…

Amazing , just amazing
I’m not normally someone who writes reviews but for this I feel I have to. I have knackered knees from the military and haven’t got much better in the gym so when I recently started Krav Maga , I’ve been struggling a lot . Saw these knee braces advertised and thought why not as nothing else has worked . Well,…. What can I say , these are f****** amazing , and have changed everything . I don’t even know I have bad knees while I’m doing Krav , whether it’s warming up or sparring , these things are amazing . So take it from a bloke who doesn’t…

Top kneebraces for BJJ
Here in France, it is difficult to find the "good" kneebrace, when you just need little join support but good pad in front of the knee to prevent form shocks and frictions. I used to wear volley-ball or hand-ball kneebraces, which are often too thick, and always sliping around knee.... So I was very happy when a friend of mine told me about Anaconda ones ! Moreover, I must commend you for your customer service, cause when my kneebrace were broken (strap part) 3 month after reception (maybe because I choose M instead of L...), you immediatly…

Excellent Support and Protection for BJJ
I’ve been using the Anaconda Fightwear knee brace during Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and grappling sessions, and it’s been a game-changer for me. The brace offers great stability and protection without restricting movement. It is exactly what I need when rolling or transitioning between positions. It stays in place even during intense sessions and provides just the right amount of compression and support for my knee. The material feels durable yet comfortable, it doesn’t bunch up or slip mid-training. Overall, I’d highly recommend this to anyone…

Anaconda Knee Brace
I’ve been wearing the knee brace for a couple weeks now, and so far it has performed very well! I’ve been using a bulkier brace with metal stabilizers for years, so at first I was a little nervous with the change. However, the switch has been a game changer! It is so much more lightweight, and allows me a lot more mobility on the mats. I am 51 years old and I’ve had three surgeries on my right knee (ACL, 2x Meniscus). I currently have another meniscus tear, but haven’t had any issues since I’ve been wearing the Anaconda Brace. I am looking…

Helping my “wobbly knees”
I did a partial tear of an ACL about 5 years ago. Not enough to warrant surgery but sent me to a physical therapist. The physical therapist told me I have “wobbly knees” meaning I have more lateral flex than most people. I was using cheap pharmacy braces that didn’t give me enough support. These are amazing and allow me to do the necessary exercises to strengthen my glutes, hamstrings, and quads to take the pressure off my knees. It’s amazing how much more confident I feel doing my exercises to make everything better. At 68, I am striving to…

Best knee braces ever
I have had knee issues since I was young and have used many different knee braces over the years. I recently tried a temu know off of the anaconda knee braces and thought it should try the original. I first received my package and they were to big. I contacted the customer service team and they replaced both knee braces with smaller ones immediately. The smaller ones fit perfectly. I us them to play basketball, with the anaconda knee braces I feel confidence in my knees that I haven't had since I was in my 20s, im 45 now. Love these braces,…

FINALLY
I have gone through so many knee braces wraps, I have my own warehouse. I watched the advertisment about the Anaconda Knee Brace, and was skeptical because they all say the same thing. I order put it on take five steps and they are on my ankle. I did not say anything to my trainer, after I had worked out in the brace a few times. Then I told him about it. The brace actually stayed up. I have hairy legs, it stayed in place my entire work out. I can ride to the gym in it, and it is still in place. I never thought I would find a knee brace that I…

One Sleeve to Rule Them All
Solid support. Ive used it for running and weightlifting (running was more to see how it would hold and it did so very well for 8km run) as I've been having discomfort of late in an already "repaired knee". Its fair to say that if you are in need of a knee sleeve this is the one. You can wear it wirh the straps loose (in the gym)and then it acts as a normal sleeve and then when you squat or similar you can apply the elastic bands for even better support. And when i grapple the sleeve really gives the right support for all the rapid movements…

Fantastic Product
I’m 62 years old and have been active in sports and the military for over 50 years. My daughter got me involved in martial arts in 2011 and I have been hooked ever since. Needless to say, I’m not as quick as I used to be and it takes me a little longer to recover than it used to. These knee braces have been a godsend! I can move easier than I could without them, and they also add compression around the calf muscles. Without the compression element, my calves used to really ache once practice was over, but not so much now. I really like this…

Worry Free Jiu Jitsu with Anaconda
When I blew out my knee (patellar tendon tear) during Jiu Jitsu rolling, I was worried I’d never be the same again. After physical therapy and healing up, I knew I needed a brace to help prevent this from happening again. I borrowed my Professor’s old knee brace from Anaconda, and once I wore that out, I knew Anaconda was the right brace for me. It gives great support without being too invasive, and sometimes I forget I even have it on. My rolling has also improved so much since I haven’t had to constantly protect my knee on my own. Anaconda…

The best knee braces I’ve ever used!!!
I’ve been using the Anaconda knee support braces for my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training and gym workouts, and they’ve been a total game changer. The fit is snug but comfortable, giving me the perfect balance between support and flexibility. I can roll, lift, and move without worrying about my knees, and the quality is seriously impressive - no slipping, bunching, or wearing out after intense sessions. Whether it’s for injury prevention or extra stability, these braces have become an essential part of my training gear. Highly recommend for anyone…

Fantastic
I am recovering from a MAJOR meniscus tear. So much so that my doctor wanted to replace the meniscus rather than fix but didn’t so I could remain active in jiu jitsu. This brace stabilizes without restricting movement. It removes the fear attached to stepping back into sports after a 6 month recovery period. I initially ordered a size too small, foolishly ordering for my post op leg size and not normal leg size. Customer service was incredible and swapped me to a larger size without issue. Shipping was fast as well and the free ebook is…

Comfort, Support, and Service That Goes Above!
I originally bought the Anaconda brace for my son, but it was a bit too big and I planned to return it. Their customer service made the return process super easy no hassle at all. In the meantime, my husband tried it on and ended up loving it! He works at a tire shop and says it makes a big difference when he’s on his knees all day. We decided to keep the original, and I just ordered two more for my son along with the heated version to help with his recovery. The braces are great quality, and the whole experience from ordering to speaking with…

Finally proper support
Tried numerous knee supports from different companies over the years after 2 knee ligament & tendon injuries. Knee still didn't feel great wearing them & kept having to take time out from training when knee was sore/felt weak again. Seen all adverts for anaconda on social media & thought it was just hype. But got sucked in & ordered anyway. Glad I did! Since wearing it I've been muay thai training & kettlebell training & knee felt great. Not been having the niggles & weakness like before. Actually confident now can train without feeling got to…

I can move again!
I was skeptical because of all the other knee braces that I have used to deal with my torn meniscus. All the others caused me to have limited mobility, and the pain was still there. With the strap support holding everything tightly in place I am actually able to jog again, although it’s not a vigorous run because of years of not moving that way, it’s still the beginning of moving again and losing the weight I put on. I’ve recommended this brace to 3 people, and everyone who has bought it has had fantastic results. Hands down the best brace I…

Works well for me.
I have a previous ACL reconstructed knee and am now bone on bone in both. I have been looking for a brace that has enough comfort for day to day wear, but also has enough support for work and daily use that wasn’t bulky and full of metal. This has met those needs. The best part, is that it doesn’t slide down all the time like the previous braces that I have tried. The straps help to cinch it place and keeps it where you want it to stay. The 3D formed padding around the knee is much nicer than the normal round donut shaped padding of most…

Great knee brace
I am a soccer player, played indoor soccer at the professional level. I have spent hundreds of dollars on knee braces that never worked. I tore my ACL when i was young and never had surgery and just recently started having problems with my knee. I started tapping which works for the most part but always came loose and its not cheap to tape my knee three days a week. I was looking into surgery which would probably have ended my soccer career and I'm not ready to do that yet. Then i ordered your brace and I'm a new player. This brace is awesome…

the padding around the knee
the padding around the knee really helps with impact. i feel safe and secure with my knee stabilized and i dont feel pain from my LCL sprain / hyperextension. If my knees are ever too bruised and tender to touch i just wear my anaconda knee braces for extra cushion and support. Aside from jiu jitsu I also use the knee brace for weight lifting as well and I really love it. the straps to secure under and above the knee hold the whole brace in place and prevents it from sliding down as you train and workout. i dont even know where my cvs brand…

Multi-ligament knee injury, ju jitsu
I had a fairly catastrophic knee injury when skiing around 13 years ago. It’s functional but never quite the same. I don’t need a brace for support but I wear a hard brace when doing other sports (karate/ mountainbiking) to guard my end range of movement. I can’t wear a head brace for ju jitsu so I’ve tried this. I was surprised how once I put it on I didn’t notice it until it was time to take off! So far I’ve had no threatened injuries so can’t comment on that. Also very helpful customer service making sure I got the correct brace and size…

I was looking for something low profile that would fit under my equipment that was supportive but wouldn't interfere with the fit or movement. I am a realist and didn't think that wearing these would correct years of knee damage but I was quite happy with the level of support given I am still working through a recent knee injury and the Anaconda knee brace has allowed me to feel confident about the support and comfort around my knees I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for something to give them support and confidence to return…

Fantastic product! Outstanding customer service. I ordered four Large Anaconda Knee Braces to support my training in Jiu Jitsu. I am a U. S. Army Veteran with over 33 years of service - most of it in Special Forces. I am now 66 years old and my knees have taken a beating over the years. The Large size felt a little tight, so I asked to return two Large braces for two XL braces. Customer Service was very supportive and I had the exchange completed within a week.

Simple and the best
Started training BJJ at 46 (now 48) Have had minor tears in meniscus in both knees that have healed over time, but act up the more I train. I tried several different braces that worked ok. Saw these on IG and ordered. Started using regularly and after a while noticed my knees don’t bother me at all. They feel great! Was putting them on before class the other day and another older guy said he has had several knee surgeries, all kinds of braces (some over $300), but the Anacondas work the best. Highly recommend, especially if you are an older…

Safety in Stability
This brace has helped me stay active while working through stability issues with my knee. In May, tripping on the lip in a sidewalk exacerbated an old injury and I ended up on crutches for a week. This brace has allowed me to enjoy my morning runs again, without fear of not making it home. A moment of terror on my first run last week when I again caught my toe on the sidewalk. I was terrified. Not only did the brace prevent farther injury, my knee didn't even twinge after the fact. I bought this brace based on my husband's recommendation and I…

Great Product and Exceptional Service
I’ve trained bjj with the knee braces for a couple years now and they have made a big difference with injury prevention and recovery. I have some miles on my knees and these braces have given me the confidence to train hard without the worry that I’ll be hobbled afterwards. I’ve owned a couple pairs, and like any product, they are subject to normal wear and tear, but I’ve found them to be very durable. In one instance a flaw developed in the material within the warranty period, at which point I notified the company and they had a replacement…

Best I’ve tried
These things are great. No slip. Can be tightened up as much as you need/want. They provide me the extra stability and reinforcement I need for my bad knee and I wear one on the other just for added protection. The gel pads are an awesome addition to protect your kneecaps and make those falls on the knees much more tolerable. I train 12-14 hours every 2 weeks so these things see a lot of use. I wash them every other training session. With my Gis in cold water and let them air dry. No sign of wear or damage from either use or washing as of yet.…

Anaconda Knee Brace
I bought my Anaconda Knee Brace (with stabilizers) about a month ago, as I suffered af meniscus tear. I'll be honest and admit that I was sceptical about how effective the Knee Brace would be, but decided to give it a go. At first I just wore it and walked around. The support it gives, is actually pretty crazy. Yesterday I decided to spar for the first time, since my accident (striking only) While my movement wasn't 100% I know I wouldn't have been able to spar and move as I did, without the knee brace. So for people dealing with that type of…

Awesome knee brace
I recently reinjured my knee during Jiu Jitsu class and decided to try these braces out. They offer great support. After about two weeks off of jiu jitsu, icing my knee and wearing these braces I was able to get back on the Mats. I wear them on both knees now, I'm 40 years old and my knees aren't what they used to be so the left one is preventative and the right on is for supporting an already bad knee. They stay put and I have worn them to work also for about 15 hours straight with very little to no irritation. Highly recommend these braces.…

I do train BJJ, but
I do train BJJ, but my torn ACL came from from getting rear ended while I was stopped on my motorcycle. I got the brace to help with rehabilitation and physical therapy. Although I probably should have gotten a size bigger, I am really happy with the brace. They really help eliminate pain while going up and down steps, walking and getting up from a seated position. I’m planning on continuing to use them when I can start to train again. Note: they are not really meant to be worn all day. As I am still fighting swelling issues, I can really only…

I have longterm knee injuries from 23 years of active duty military and I've tried every knee brace in the market. I have a trunk full of different knee braces that either didn't help or were not suitable for BJJ. I saw the Anaconda brace ad on Instagram and figured I'll try it but didn't have high hopes. I was surprised that it has lived up to the hype. My game has improved alot because it gives me the support I need on the mats. Quality made, sturdy and flexible allowing for movements without coming off or rolling into itself. Best damn…

Essential for Injured Grapplers - The Anaconda Knee Brace Works!
As a BJJ competitor recovering from an LCL injury, the Anaconda Knee Brace has been a game-changer. It provides excellent support without limiting mobility, allowing me to keep training confidently and safely. Whether I’m drilling or rolling, it stays secure and comfortable throughout. What really stands out is how it’s actively aided my recovery. The compression reduces swelling, and the fit is perfect for high-intensity movement. This brace has kept me on the mats when I thought I’d be sidelined. Highly recommended for anyone in combat…

Amazing Aftercare
I have a torn meniscus that needs surgery but due to timing issues I have had to postpone the surgery twice. One of my students bought me two Anaconda knee braces as a gift and I was shocked by the results. I went from horrendous pain everyday to the occasional tweak. I feel really confident when I roll with these on and the best part is when the velcro broke off one of them Anaconda replaced it straight away. No hassle, no fuss. Amazing customer service. Thanks guys for the aftercare and the product that has kept me teaching and training…

Miracle of knee movement again
I first ordered and received a shoulder brace and was amazed at the immediate relief to my shoulder so after suffering with bad knees for a few years after dislocation of my knee cap and torn ACL I hoped the knee straps would be just as good and you did not disappoint, they are absolutely amazing again I don't know how but the instant relief and the range of motion attained with them on is phenomenal. I would certainly recommend them to anyone suffering with knee issues. And as stated any of the straps/braces that anaconda supply from…

Great for Jiu Jitsu and everything else
I havent had an official knee injury yet and bought the brace to prevent one when my lcl area started hurting after rolling and my patella felt a little off during sprints and jogs and squats. Use the one with the metal supports for rolling and have no more pain. Use the one without metal supports for squatting running and jumping. Works better for me during runs and jumps if I dont wrap and tighten the straps..jusy velcro them out of the way and use more as a basic sleeve.

I recently suffered a partial tear of my LCL whilst sparring (BJJ). I took a few weeks off training as my knee felt a little unstable. A couple of the lads have been wearing the Anaconda knee brace and haven’t stopped raving about it, so I knew it was time to invest. Glad I did.

I ordered My knee braces, they were shipped promptly, and were exactly what I had ordered. Upon initial inspection I found that the stabilizer brace pouch was not closed up on one end of one side on one of the knee braces. I took pictures and decided to use them and see if it would affect the performance, they worked well but the stabilizer did dig in a little.

I'm 48, and part of what slowed me down was knee pain. I kept seeing ads on social media and thought why not, especially since we were talking about it at the Academy.

Bought a second for my other knee and gotta say I am moving around with more confidence its amazing.…

Knee Braces
I have only worn these for a couple of weeks and they are doing me a great job. I wear one on each knee and I wear them up to 11 hours a day. I only have to adjust them once a day but that is because I wear them under my pants and my pants pull on them every time I have to get on the floor or sit down, which is all day long. The doughnut knee pad is just right for the kneeling I have to do, like 60 times a day. They wash well too I put them in a garment bag inside out with the straps velcroed in place and wash as instructed Thanks for a great…

A big help on my knees
Started rolling around fall 2024 at the tender age of 44, at 5'11" and 294 lbs with already banged up knees. Could not do ANY basic drills before as I felt any moment the knees would just pop or make the final cracking sound that does me in if I attempted to go shoot for a takedown. Compared that to having these knee braces with stabilizers, while it's not a total knee replacement, these have a allowed me to function enough to do those basic drills and start my journey to being more mobile. Definitely worth a purchase if you need that extra…

Game Changer
If you’re on the fence about getting it, this is your sign to buy it, this brace is a game changer. I have arthritis in my knee which keeps me from doing certain work outs since I’ve had this brace I’ve been able to walk from 1 mile to 5 miles and feel great. No more icing my knee after long walks or hard workouts. Even the next day no pain. I will definitely recommend this Brace if you want to get back to your day to day activities without worrying about pain. I now look forward to walking outside with my neighbors. Thanks a lot Lynette…

Best knee brace ever
First let me say, I am a 64 years old female and practice taekwondo. I'm a little older than your average martial arts participant so you can image why I have issues with the knee. A friend of mine told me about these knee braces and with my black belt test coming up, I ordered one right away. Couldn't hurt, right? It came in quickly and I have to say, "It's the best knee brace I've ever had". It helped me fly thru my black belt test with no problem. It gives great support and yet you still have flexibility. Super product. Love it. ...R.…

Knee Brace
I'm a female, weigh about 125 and measure 5'1. I bought 2 in a size small no stabalizer and they are amazing! I feel so much protection and I'm finally comfortable working on moves I was hesitant on because of the knee impact. I couldn't stand the ones off amazon or anywhere else really.. they all would just slip off or had insufficient padding. Velcro strap on one of them came off, but their customer service is incredible!! After I emailed them they almost immediately responded and shipped out a new one. You guys are the best. I lovee themm!!!

Better than any other knee brace we've tried!
Fabulous product! My daughter dislocated her knee cap playing volleyball several years ago. She catches for her softball team too, and was frequently fighting pain after practice and games. Just a couple weeks with this and she's not only feeling better during activities, she's also feeling less/no pain AFTER when she's no longer wearing it. She is thrilled, and so are her parents! She says she has full mobility to wear it while playing too, providing much needed support during games. Don't sleep on this product - you won't regret purchasing!

Partial MCL tear
I'm over 50 and just started training jiu-jitsu about 3 months ago. I've had slight knee pain for awhile and I wanted to protect my knees while training so I ordered me 2 knee braces. On the day before they arrived my knee bend a bit funny and I was in some pain. And stopped training that session. Went to PT that day and luckily it was just a level MCL tear....nothing too crazy. Started wearing the knee brace the next day and WOW! Keeps everything nice and tight and feels great while rolling. I don't even notice the MCL pain most of the time.

The ultimate knee brace
I’ve torn my ACL 3 times so far, along with a bunch of other ligaments in my knee, meniscus has been obliterated multiple times. I currently have a torn ACL, partially torn PCL, and meniscus tear. I have atleast 5 different style braces, but ever since the Anaconda brace has come in, it’s the only one I use! I ordered one with stabilizer and without, and even went back and ordered a larger size for my “good” knee. After torturing my body for many years in the military, this knee brace has me feeling like I could spartan kick a baby elephant!

Got me back to work and play sooner
I had meniscus repair surgery and getting back to work in law Enforcment along with playing hockey I had some pain and muscle weakness. The anaconda knee brace helped provide some much needed support and provided that bit of assistance that I needed to get back out there and do what I love! I ordered two, one for work and one for hockey. I can’t compliment them enough as they stay where you put them all day long! It provided me the ability to get to work and back to hockey sooner as it gave me the confidence I needed to get back out there!

Simply flawless, great quality product. I highly recommend this. I very impressed, I put on the first time, felt a little hesitant as if this wasn't work not be comfortable enough. After 20min or so your comfort level set in and this prace definitely does the job,if you training in marital art's or weight lifting,stabilize your know knees. I had pain lifting after wearing these once I felt nothing but relief. I had purchased a another set,understanding that these will eventually wear down or out. Thank you Anaconda. Greatly appreciated. 👊

Outstanding knee pads for BJJ
This is my 2nd purchase as a pair (total 4 purchased). The quality and protection is 2nd to none, I wouldnt choose anything else. The only thing I would say for sizing is that surprisingly at 5’7 165lbs, size L is a much better fit. It doesnt shift around when rolling, and it doesn't squeeze the posterior popliteal vessels. The new design is much improved. My older set has seem to have lost its grip, the silicone isnt as effective (after a year, about 3-4 classes a week), and the velcro does not stick well anymore. But, to be expected?

Great knee sleeves! Will buy other products in the future.
These are amazing! After years of strength training, my knees aren't what they used to be. Once I start BJJ, I really needed to protect my knees even more. I ordered a size too small and I reached out to customer service and they quickly replied and were able to exchange my order for the right size for me. The fit is perfect and I am able to move around comfortably without feeling like my knees are going to explode. The only downfall was I had to pay to have it shipped back to them. Overall, I would highly recommend this brand!

Very impressed!
Started Jiu Jitsu a couple months ago and was worried that my knees wouldn't stand up to the strong rolls and technique practice as my LCL tends to pop out on me once and awhile and my knees hurt after class. A friend let me try his on and they felt great! I ordered my own pair which have been upgraded since my friend had bought his. I have been wearing them for 5 classes now and I haven't felt a single twinge or weakness in my knees. I highly recommend Anaconda knee braces! They will help me to keep rolling for years to come!

Game Changer, Literally!
I play rugby 3 times a week and lift weights 5 days a week. My knee got hurt last season playing in a game. Idk what was wrong with it but there were days where walking hurt me. I had an Ace knee sleeve that I was using at practice and during games but it seemed to only hold off the pain until the game or practice was over. Since using the Anaconda knee brace, my knee feels like new again. I have no pain and I can run, plant, juke and stop without any issues. You saved a 35 year old last year of glory on the pitch. Thank you!

Finally a Product That Works
The Anaconda knee sleeve/brace has been holding my knee joint together during CrossFit workouts. The product is very light and did not instill a lot of confidence when I first tried it. After two workouts I started to gain more trust in the brace and I will be ordering more in the near future. The product fits tight, but this helps in the support of my joint. I expect the brace will loosen up as it is washed and re-used. The brace does limit extreme bending, but due to my age I scale most workouts anyway. I'm 66 years old.

Excellent knee support
I had a nice knee pop / LCL sprain while training and was out for a few weeks. I purchased two knee braces to try out. When I got them in the mail, I immediately put them on. The relief was incredible. I walked around with the braces for a couple days and found myself on the mats (light training) shortly thereafter. The double strap is great not just for support, but it keeps the brace in place. Now I roll lightly, and I still don’t have to adjust the brace and feel my knees slowly coming back. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing Brace
I love this brace! Ive worn many before, and have had multiple knee surgeries and need to have another on my ACL. However wearing this im still able to train in defensive tactics. I feel like there's a spring in the padding that gives me a cushion and spring like feeling. That I can move rather quickly. I teach at a law enforcement academy. Where we have had 8 to 10 hr days going defensive tactics and ground fighting. Wearing them for 8 plus hours. Didn't feel worn out at all. These are amazing and my go to for now on!

ROCK SOLID
So I completely reverse my patella on my right leg. I had tried many a knee braces. But I could not find exactly what I was looking for until I came across this one. Since I've been using this knee brace. Not only has my knee been pain-free during jiu-jitsu practice. I have also been able to start lifting heavy weights again on my legs. I haven't leg pressed 450 lb since I was a teenager. And I was finally able to put up some big weight like this again. Cannot appreciate how well this knee brace keeps my knee in place.
GGary P.
Quick to resolve my issue
I can't comment on the knee brace yet because I havent used it enough. The customer service was great. I messed up my order and the service rep was able to help me immediately and rectify things. They were quick to respond. I ordered one knee brace by accident when I thought I was ordering a pair. But only realized this after I recieved the order. I ordered a second individual one and they honored the pair discount when I ordered the second one. I just had to pay the shipping for a second time. Don't make my mistake.

Evolving to the top
One of the best (also with regard to price - quality) knee braces on the market especially for Bjj, grappling and mma. If you have ACL issues they will also help you in explosive turning, feinting, pivoting, stepping in -out and so on while standing up during kickboxing and also boxing. The quality have importantly improved since the first generation knee braces of several years ago. They are quite durable nowadays. Furthermore the company has been extremely reliable and service minded all those years. Just buy them.
LLuis S.
Would recommend
I'm 37 now, and I've noticed that trying to push myself during mma training or at the gym would lead to different sorts of issues on my kness, particularly when doing squads or when practicing bjj. Being worried about potential injuries, I bought this knee braces to see if they could help with my current issues. I can tell that there is a noticeable improvement in the support for the knees, without restraining the movement. I would recommend for any bjj practitioners or people facing a similar circumstance than mine
EErik R.
Great Products
I practice grappling 5-6 times a week, but I used to struggle with frequent knee and ankle injuries, which forced me to take breaks from training to recover. It was frustrating because it seemed like I was always getting hurt, and I needed to find gear that would keep me protected. However, since I started using their knee and ankle braces, I've been able to train more without getting injured, and my knees feel much better. I really like this company because their products are specifically designed for grappling.

Anaconda lock down, BJJ101
Works well I have a mcl tear and well as a tracking issues we are doing PT with, I am a Jiujitsu dojonowner and being off the mats is not a option so lean on my knee supports to make that happen, anaconda knee braces have always done their part by keeping me moving as well as the shoulder brace when my shoulder acts up! Highly recommend anaconda for those in combat sports as well as any sport demanding more than your joints have to offer. Coach Ronin Jiujitsu101oregoncoast. com The Asylum Combat Academy Oregon

Anaconda Knee Brace is the brace to get
Anaconda knee brace is the brace to get for not only jiu-jitsu but daily life as needed. I purchased (4) Anaconda knee braces, (2) when Anaconca sports wear first released (knee sleeves no padding) and (2) knee sleeves with padding. For jiu-jitsu purchases, I have peace of mind when I roll that my knees will stay in tact during full rolls. I train on average 8 hou rs plus weekly! I do not get endorsement for writing this post, I highly recommend ALL athletes of all sports to purchase anaconda knee brace.

How the Anaconda Knee Brace Brought Me Back to Capoeira Ground Game
Thanks to the Anaconda knee brace, I can finally get back to ground movements in my Capoeira game! It’s allowing me to regain my old level-and even push beyond it. Most knee braces are either too thin to provide real support or too thick, causing discomfort by pushing my knee apart. But with this one, I can move freely and confidently again. Now, I can fully flow through knee-intensive movements, benefiting both me and my students. Here’s an example in action: https://www.instagram.***/reel/DGs1HF5N5S9/

This is the good stuff!
I love these knee pads! I wrestled in HS and always had knee pads that slid down. Now, 17 years later, I’m getting into jiu jitsu and these knee pads stay up, they don’t slide, they hold my knee in place. Feels super secure! Customer service is great! I ordered a pair and had a rip in one of the knee pads where the elastic came out of the stitching only after 5 uses. I contacted the company and they sent a new right out! That’s how a company should be! Love the product! Love the company! Keep rolling!!

Best product ever
You guys are the best, let me tell you how grateful I am for knowing about this product, and the product is great and amazing in 5 days my pain wen from 97 to 0 all this while I was still wrestling and doing striking. Not only the product is great but the customer service, the notes that came with the product and the fact that you guys are still reaching out to me and answering comments on Instagram it makes me feel close to the product, the best thing ever, and I've been recommending to friends too.
KKathleen J.
Amazing
Torn meniscus and sprained mcl has had me very conservative on the mats for almost a year. I have probably spent over $200 on Leuko tape for my knee that kept slipping out in training. I’ve tried other knee braces and they never did the job. I saw this ad and was like nahhhhh. But once I saw the new model at an affordable price I gave it a shot. Hands down amazing. Stabilizes my knee and the sleeve is tight enough to replace the Leuko tape. I recommended to other girls in my gym and they love as well
CCierra S.
Love the gel support
I started BJJ 16 months post-ACL surgery. I was nervous with slamming my knees down on the ground- especially with having lots of nerve damage on the lower part of my knee to my shin. This brace has given me a peace of mind every time I put it on and get on the mat. . I don't even think about it. It has helped a lot the blood flow and have helped my calves not be so tight! I recommend this for anyone with any kind of knee issues even great for just wearing and not having to worry about beat knees.
JJoey B.
Customer Service Rated Excellent
Luke... worked through my mistake as a customer. I misread when ordering which ended up being me buying two knee braces separately instead of combined. In contacting him, he without hesitation clarified my mistake to the shipping, and purchasing folks which saved me money on the purchase and combined shipping. The service provided was excellant that included a great delivery time with in a day after clarifying the order. I appreciate Luke... and enjoy the knee braces. Thanks. Joey B. Hutto, Tx

Amazing product! Stopped pain in BJJ training
I started training BJJ in Jan of this year and quickly identified sharp knee pain due a bony protrusion under my knee cap. It was making training more difficult. I finally broke down after see the ads many times for this product and gave it a try. It is a night and day difference and allows me to Spar and train BJJ without the sharp skin splitting pain I had before. It also provides a supportive feel and doesn't move horribly during rolls. I would 100% recommend this product for use in BJJ.
WWayne M.
Very Impressed!!
Even though I was but skeptical about the hype online I ordered 2 knee braces (without stabilisers) So far these knee braces lived up to the hype, they’re comfortable and have protected my knee from the usual pain I get to the point I forget about my knee problems Their customer service is excellent too!! I had an issue and they were so approachable and quick to help deal with my issue!!! If you’re shopping around for knee braces for jujitsu stop looking!! You’ve found them with Anaconda!!
Ggary m.
Game changer
Was a bit sceptical at first given my sport is muay thai rather than bjj, however this knee brace has gave me back the confidence i had lost from a lingering knee injury. Very comfortable and doesn’t move around when checking kicks etc didn’t have to adjust straps once during a 2 hr session, it stops knee hyper extension which is great if ur knee is weak and you are bouncing/pivoting on it etc. i will vouch for this product to anyone who will listen as it has been a game changer for me.
Llance g.
The hype is real
The hype on these is very real. After MCL and meniscus tears, I’ve been apprehensive to train consistently or with any intensity. But these braces really do offer support and stability that both reduce pain and keeps my knees healthier. These braces while training jiujitsu + exercises to increase stability have made a real difference for me. For me, the only issue has been sizing. I am between sizes, and have to choose between a brace that cuts of circulation or moves around a little.

Jr. & Sr. Both Wear Anaconda Knee Brace
So this is a two-fer. Both my son (17 yrs) and myself need the anaconda knee brace but for different reasons -- he's competing high school wrestler who had knee surgery (May25) and I'm mom, an old(er) (60 yrs) former competitive horseback rider and badminton coach for the high school. The anaconda knee brace is a God send for both of us! I originally purchased the first knee brace for son in 2023 for support wrestling. I started wearing this year (Dec25) due to overuse/MCL injury/age.
VVic A.
Need this in my life, you need it in yours!
Both my knees are bad at my age from years of abuse and injuries. I originally bought 1. Then I bought two more for myself and one for a friend. We can't train hard without this brace. This brace has changed my confidence, and training can be fun again. I kind of feel like a dork wanting to wear it throughout the day, but it does make such a difference. Thank you for the great deals, makes it hard not to buy more. So, I went ahead and bought one for my dad when he plays pickle ball.
GGuillermo O.
Awesome customer service!
"I had ordered two knee braces with supports but unfortunately, I got the wrong size. I immediately contacted the customer support team and they initiated the return process without any delay. Later, I received two new knee braces with the correct size. I used them for the first time in a no-gi training session and was quite impressed with the support they provided. I also tried them during a gi training session and they worked great. I would definitely recommend giving them a try."

Bad knee starting jujitsu at 34
My right knee is shot and was a limiting reason/injury for why I didn’t want to start doing jujitsu. My knee has been injured since 2014. I finally decided to get the Anaconda knee brace and I’m so thankful I did! It’s added an incredible amount of stability that I never thought I would get back. I’ve even convinced some of my local gym friends to get the brace. Highly recommend. I’ve tried a wide range of knee braces since injuring my knee and this one has hands down been the best.
TTrevor W.
Nice knee dude
I tweaked my knee in jiu jitsu a month or so ago. I've tried a few different knee braces now and haven't had much luck. One of the guys at my gym recommended I try the anaconda brace. I ordered one, got one free which was cool as hell, but the coolest part is I haven't had any issues with my knee since I started wearing it. Naturally, I started wearing it to train soccer with my son as well, and I feel much more confident. I would highly recommend anaconda. You all have my thanks!
TThor
Full ROM
I had been watching and following anaconda braces, hesitant to pull the trigger based on other knee braces experience , unsure if it would work. I finally decided to order the knee brace and it has met and surpassed all my expectations. In short, with the brace I can reach full ROM in squats and agile movements which is exactly what I was looking for! Props to Anaconda performance, you have an incredible product! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for solid knee support.

Ending the cycle of injury
I have been having trouble with my knees for the last couple of years. I have intermittently gone without knee support and used other braces during that time and always felt that I was one wrong move away from disaster. Since using my Anaconda knee braces over the last month, this has totally changed. My knees are feeling stronger and my performance is better knowing I can count on my legs where before I couldn’t. I just bought 4 more so I will never have to train without them.

This Brace Got Me Back on Mats!
I slightly tore my MCL. I was off the mats for about a month, but when my doc said I could roll again. I gradually got back. And look, I couldn't do my full range of sparring techniques, but I was able to do some. Without this race, I wouldn't been able to do anything. It Has kept my knee secured and is far tighter and more accurate to my knee than other braces. I think they truly designed this for those on the roll train vs. being out and about like other braces. Very happy!
AAmadeus C.
Elbow brace
I bought the elbow brace for me and used the great deal of 2 braces for a discount. So bought a knee brace for my bjj instructor. He uses it a lot. I use my elbow brace for no gi, but not so much for gi because it moves with the friction of the gi. But that's my fault because I bought the brace slightly too big. But with the straps it still is very supportive. Next time I shall bought the correct size. But it's not massive, I guess I just need to get slightly bigger biceps.
CChristian
Knee swelling as a BJJ newbie, brace was pure magi
I wore the (small) brace all of last week and had zero pain when rolling. Pure magic. I thought initially that the brace was too tight, as I was in between small and medium and opted for the small, but it loosened up a bit with more rolling and I truly could not be happier. I didn't have to roll lighter or baby my knee and I am beyond impressed. I will 100% be a repeat customer in the future and will likely get ankle and elbow braces for preventative injuries in the future.
SShane M.
Great Knee support. Im a
Great Knee support. Im a 10yr Arthroscope recipient- Bucket handle tear. Makes my bad knee feel like my good knee, as such, for preventative maintenance, I use Anacondas on both knees. If your considering buying these, I'd guess you already have a box full of failed knee braces in your closet. So for your knee, just try 1 more, you won't regret it. Feedback for Anaconda. I bought the knee supports on a 2 for 1 sale ($59AUD) I only received 2 singles instead of 2 pair.
AAlisa U.
The best braces ever
As someone in martial arts whose joints are a tad too flexible, I was always worried about putting a strain on them or getting injured during training. And I did, once. I thought training with braces should help, but all the ones I've tried were absolute ass. But these actually stay on and don't slide down. I am now confident enough not to be wary of squats and rolls. They also have plenty of padding and will absorb the impact, should you bang your knees on accident.
MMike S.
Knee brace
I recently had surgery on my knee for meniscus damage. Now I am waiting for another surgery to repair my ACL (same injury). I was issued a medical knee brace after surgery, it works but is not comfortable especially while driving a vehicle. I purchased the Anaconda knee brace to try. It works amazingly well . It keeps my knee tight and yet still allows good movement and is much more comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone dealing with knee damage and or pain.
RRobert G.
Great! Almost too supportive
I bought these due to a torn meniscus. They are very tight and for awhile too tight on my knee cap, since my knee is still swollen. They have great compression and even more stability than the orthopedic brace I received from my doc. I'm still not back on the mats yet, but these will definitely give great support when I do return. Like all other compression braces, I'm sure they will loosen up over time as all compression material does, but you can't beat the price.
VVanessa H.
Great product and customer service
I have arthritis in my right knee and also injured my MCL. The knee brace really helped me be able to continue my martial arts with 0-little pain and allowed my knee to heal without having to fully give up or pause martial arts. The customer service was also great to work with when I accidentally ordered the wrong size! Vanessa was so efficient in helping me with the exchange process and doing her best to help me receive the brace in time for my belt promotion test.
VVictoria
Game Changer
Literally the best knee braces I have tried. After a total knee construction, I never thought my performance would change. I constantly spent time worrying about injury and never actually using the muscles like intended. THIS knee brace change my performance. I didnt worry and could train the way I needed to. Its comfortable, mobile, and absolutely worth every dollar spent! Thank you for creating this product, it truly has been a game changer in my training.
HHunter P.
These work great! And they actually stay up
I’ve had so many compression sleeves just slide around and then not offer any comfort or relief but these stay in place for the most part and if they move around a little bit it still offers plenty of support. I use these as I walk a lot for work I don’t even train ju jitzu all though with how my knees feel now I’m looking at gyms! These are amazing and did exactly what I was hoping for. If you have osteoarthritis in your knees like I do, this is a must have
JJames A.
Works Great!
I’m a skeptic of all products these days and after reading the reviews thought I’d give these a try. Just as the reviews suggest these fit well and provide great support. I believe reading the sizing chart well and getting as good a measurement as you can is paramount to a good fit. Provides great support, doesn’t bunch up and allows me to enjoy rolls without knee instability as I’m currently going it with a torn meniscus awaiting surgery. Highly recommend!
EEric G.
Great service and product but doesn’t fit me
Unfortunately I can only give a review regarding the customer service. They were a pleasure to deal with through the whole ordering and exchange process.As for the product, both the medium and large knee brace did not fit. The medium was way too compressive cutting off the circulation and the large was sloppy around the knee offering no support. I don’t have the build for this knee brace. The product came packaged securely each time and was well presented.
DDavid D.
Fast delivery & great fit!
The knee braces arrived fast and I have now used them in some trainings including sparring sessions (Japanese Jiu-Jitsu). They are a great fit and support my knees very well! Before I always wore medical subscribed braces which used to slip down under the Gi. The Anaconda braces perform much better in this regard! I hope they will last as long. The only thing to improve in my eyes would be an EU Warehouse, so we do not have to pay for additional customs.
WWyatt S.
Solid Protection
I’ve had 2 surgeries on one of my knees. Before using this brace I was just using a typical knee sleeve to get me through training. After training, my knee would swell and it would be sore and tender the next day. Thanks to Anaconda Fightwear’s knee brace, I can now shoot on either side of my opponent with no hesitation or worries that my knee will give out on me. In fact, I prefer to shoot on the side with my knee brace. My fight game has been elevated!
GGeorgia O.
Best Purchase!!!
I absolutely love it! I am fairly new to BJJ and was afraid that my knee pain would stop me from pursuing my journey in BJJ, after wearing my brace during a grappling session for the past couple of weeks my knee pain has significantly improved and my recovery time is less than an hour. My knee used to hurt for days after grappling and now after resting for a hour or less it is as good as new. It is an amazing product I’m definitely a loyal customer now!
JJustin S.
Knee recovery
53 years old and my knees have both popped for the first time in the last couple years. I recovered from the left knee and gave my anaconda brace to a teammate so they could benefit. A few months ago I partially tore my right meniscus and bought a new pair of knee braces. Recovery has taken more time with the right knee but my anaconda knee brace has allowed me to keep up my training so my technique continues to improve while I rehabilitate my knee. 🙏

Great product
I recently purchased the Anaconda Knee Brace and couldn't be happier with my experience. The quality of the product is excellent - it provides great support without compromising comfort or flexibility. The fit is perfect, and it's been a game-changer for my training sessions. Customer service was also fantastic, with fast delivery and great communication throughout the process. I highly recommend Anaconda Fightwear to anyone looking for reliable gear!
JJenna S.
Best knee brace
This knee brace is amazing and exceeded my expectations. I've just come back to training jiu Jitsu after having knee surgery to fix a meniscus tear. I also have had 2 previous ACL repairs and this knee brace helps make my knee feel extra protected and stabilized. It stayed in place and I never had to pull it up or adjust it. It provides excellent compression and even helps eleviate pain. I highly recommend this to anyone with any kind of knee issues!
DDan H.
Injury recovery optin
Not a fighter but I do a lot of research before buying a product. Bought brace for knee injury recovery. Wanted a brace that did not move unlike cheaper ones. When you spend $25 to 35 on a brace that does not work then spending $50 on the right brace is easy. As I am wearing brace for 8 - 10 hours a day I returned my unopened brace for 1 size larger with no issues from Customer Service. Very happy with brace and would recommend this brace to others.

Anaconda Knee Brace review
I have to say due to this product's huge advertising from nicky rod paul craig i was expecting to be a great product and i have to say that this knee brace lives up to it's expectations. All i have to say is you don't have to worry first time because maybe it will feel a little bit tight or not that flexibile, but i guarantee you that after two or three trainings they will feel great and in no gi the knee brace doesn't slip at all so they are great.

Anaconda Knee Brace
Since I purchased and have been wearing anaconda knee braces while training Jiu Jitsu, I feel secure and confident of not getting injuries. As a 61 year old retiree I need the added security of not receiving an injury when rolling with a 285 pound 19 year old college wrestler. lol I recently received my anaconda elbow braces and ready to roll after the Christmas Holidays. Age is just a number!!! Get ready for round two Lane!!! Thank you Anaconda!!!
KKirk
Exceptional product and customer service
I have bother the brace with and without stabilizers and love them both. This brace isn’t a cure-all but allows me to continue to train despite knee injuries. I’m most impressed with their customer service though. I had a defect in a brace, emailed them, and they replied and shipped another brace all within hours. It’s refreshing to see a company stand behind their product and offer such great customer service. I strongly recommend their products.
EElena T.
Supportive and convenient knee brace
I torn my medial meniscus and was looking for a knee brace to decrease my pain. Bought a lot a different braces but nothing actually helped - too big, too heavy, too restrictive and skin irritating.Then my son suggested to try this brace and I was really happy by the support, comfort and stability it provided. Even practiced yoga wearing this brace and it did not bothered me at all. A really good brace for people practicing some physical activity!
KKevin W.
Definitely recommend.
38 year old dad 95kg starting judo in a midlife crisis. I'm a yellow belt and very enthusiastic during randori. I get thrown around like a ragdoll by the black belts in my dojo. Busting my knee in the process. After a little recovery time I started again with the knee brace and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. It gives great support and under no circumstances has it ever come off or have been a nuisance during training or sparring.
JJohn n.
Best there is!!!
Well I am always unsure of buying these kinds of things went through more knee braces than I should. But then I tried this, and well I'm amazed. I work in agriculture and this brace has taken me out of pain, I'm even back playing golf, and that in itself deserves 5 stars. Thank you Luke for actually creating a brace that is efficient and allows you to get back doing things you love. Don't pass up the prices and the ability to become you again👌😁
RRonald E.
Absolutely amazing! After 3 knee
Absolutely amazing! After 3 knee surgeries and every ligament torn in my leg I used many different braces and none worked as well as these! I now use these braces everyday and they save my knees especially on 10 mile rucks and after I use the recovery braces like the ice wrap and the recovery pro and it’s an absolute lifesaver! I’ve even seen people out on hikes struggling with knee problems so I stop and talk to them and show them these braces.
CChristopher B.
Torn ACL/MCL and still rolling
Without a doubt the best knee brace out there. I have used both braces with stabilizer and without. I would definitely recommend with stabilizer and get a size smaller if you’re uncertain. The knee pad itself is a game changer but having the compression and stability makes rolling a world of difference while nursing injuries or trying to prevent it. I really wish I was wearing this before I was injured, definitely could have prevented an injury.
MMichael K.
Works as advertised - Love this brace - Wont roll without it
I had an older version of this brace. The new features make this thing a knee save for sure. I felt like my right knee was constantly bruised. Gel padding and non-slip features fixed me up in under two weeks. I roll BJJ 3 or 4 days a week, knee pain is no longer a problem. 6ft - 210lb using an XL, true to size. Definitely take care of the velcro by seating it prior to washing. I do not machine dry, that damaged the velcro on first set of braces.
JJess C.
So good
I have bad knees from years of dance/running. I got into jiu jitsu in 2019 but kept experiencing knee and hamstring injuries even though i had store bought knee braces. I got back into rolling last month and I've had both knee braces on in boxing, muay thai, and jiu jitsu and i haven't had a single knee tweak at all. These have saved my knees and i know i can continue training as long as i keep wearing them. Thank you!!! Jess - 5'5" 120lb female

Screaming left knee
In early May I wanted to get back to walking and running. Well I was running uphill and my left knee didn't like that. I'm overweight and work 12 hours shifts. I figured my knee would eventually get better with rest and pain medication but it didn't. I got the knee brace in mid June and it has made a world of difference at work and going on walks. Haven't made it back to running yet but I know I'm on my way there with the anaconda knee brace.
EEdward E.
100% Would Recommend
I'm a career army officer that's been an infantryman, scout, paratrooper, as well as a runner and grappler. This knee brace has made my knee feel amazing. After 19 years of active duty my knees are not great but I've been able to stay on the mats, grapple without pain, and recover faster thanks to these knee braces. Huge fan and absolutely recommend them to anyone that wants to stay active, mitigate past injuries, and prevent future injuries.
DDuane D.
Love my knee braces.
these knee braces are amazing. supports both my knees while moving around. its really comfortable and breathable too. It does not irritate me and just becomes apart of my natural flow. The gel support around my knee caps are awesome, I can move more freely knowing everything in my knees are locked in securely. These things are a life saver amd you can throw them in the washer. let's go! Thank you anaconda fightwear and team for the support.
MMelissa N.
Everyone needs these
I’ve been having knee pain post training for 5 months and had my coach suggest these. I bought 2. Honestly a game changer. My knees have been pain free for the 3 weeks I’ve been using these for. I’m on the bigger side and these still work for me. Great quality and price. I personally don’t notice I’m wearing it, no restrictions and my knees feel supported. I’ve since suggested it to 3 of my friends and we take pride in matching at practice.

So far, they have been great. Hope they make an alternate version with full knee padding (without the patella opening).
So far they have been great. They stay in place on my large legs and the wrap is nice a secure. Haven't had any issues with them thus far. The only thing I wish we had an option for was to buy one with a full knee pad, rather than the patella opening. I word Volley Ball knee pads prior to purchasing these because I had to protect my knee from impacting the ground. I would have loved to have the full knee pad protection option in the future.

Excellent support & compression. Very comfortable with no sliding.
Wonderful knee brace. Provides great support and the knee stabilizer is a plus as well! The way the straps are wrapped around the knee and leg ensure that there is no sliding and establishes excellent comfort. Highly recommend. I suffer from arthritis from tearing all my cartilage in my patella. This really helps me. Provides extra support and compression as well to help keep the blood flowing. Best brace I've ever used. Worth every penny!

How you’re brace helped my skateboarding
I skateboard and take alot of impact to my knee from landing tricks, slamming, lots of twisting and turning. My knees would always feel fatigued and noodley by the end of a session. Now using the new brace it feels so strong and sturdy throughout the session and afterwards. I also use the wrist brace to help protect from light impacts and its the best brace ive found for skating. Ive recommended both braces to alot of skaters in my scene.

Best Brace on the market
Ive been doing grappling sports for about a decade and I have tried a lot of knee brace styles and brands. Anaconda is by far the best design all around. Whether you need lateral stability, a pad for your patella during sparring, or just some want to prevent an injury, this brace is the right choice. Avoid using washing machine too frequently as it may shorten the life but my first one lasted a year even after being washed over 100 times.

Committed to quality
I bought two Anaconda knee braces. Great knee support, and I won't train without them. One of the braces had a problem with the stitching, so it was coming apart after a couple rolls. I sent some photos to Anaconda, and they replaced it right away. They're committed to making sure their customers have quality products, and if something goes wrong they'll make it right. I'd write more, but I've got to get back to wrist-locking white belts.

Essential, life-saver
Excellent brace. Easy to use and holds up well in the wash. My left knee has been unstable since getting injured while running and was getting quite painful during BJJ. During a recent takedown drill I felt a little click but as I as wearing the Anaconda brace it didn't completely go. I was actually able to carry on that session and with a few rounds of physio it's feeling a lot better now. It is now as mandatory part of my gear as my gi.

I don’t do JJ
I bought a set of these because I work 12 hour shifts at a factory and are on my feet climbing stairs all day. Being a big ole boy 6’4 300 my knees were always rough and I had cheap braces from the grocery store that barely fit and moved around and left marks all over me. These are fantastic and I also where them in armored combat in the sca after trying them at work and yea I’m sold I preach the gospel of anaconda fight wear everywhere

Exceeded All Expectations - Highly Recommend!
I’ve been using the knee brace and it’s been a game-changer for my Jiu Jitsu training. It offers great support without being bulky or restricting movement. The fit is comfortable and stays in place, even during intense rolls. It provides just the right amount of compression to prevent strain while allowing full mobility. I even had a minor issue that was resolved extremely fast by the support team. I highly recommend it for everyone!
MMichael F.
Best I’ve tried by a mile
I’ve been wearing this now for approximately 4 weeks and it’s fantastic, I’ve had a torn meniscus now for around 10months and it just wasn’t getting better since wearing my knee support it’s started getting better and is now virtually sorted, I can highly recommend this knee support it’s helped me loads and gives me the confidence to grapple moving forward I believe it gives support which will help prevent injuries in the first place
JJaime J.
Bought two rash guards, two
Bought two rash guards, two knee braces and one shoulder brace and the quality of everything was perfect. Knee braces surprisingly stays up during BJJ classes with minor adjustments from time to time but that's expected during grappling classes. My only negative feedback would be the lack of rash guards being in stock. Other than that, it was a good experience and would definitely shop from them again. Looking forward to new products
JJavier I.
I had always been looking
I had always been looking at anaconda for a knee brace to help me train but I had always been reluctant on buying one, now that I have I can honestly say I should’ve bought one sooner. The knee brace feels so supportive and secure it took away a lot of fear of training with my bad knee and has helped me get back to shooting my double legs that are a big part of my stand up game. If you’re looking to buy, don’t hesitate, I love mine!

Anaconda knee brace
I actually bought the Anaconda knee brace for my wife to try. She has a stage 1 mcl tear. Anyone who has had to use a medical knee brace know they constantly slip and need to readjust. The Anaconda knee brace “DOES NOT SLIP”. However, if you need to wear them for an extended period of time I highly recommend you remove them several times throughout the day to prevent lower extremity edema. I do highly recommend any Anaconda brace!
FFrancesco C.
For Dad
Not only do I wear one, but earlier this year I gave my dad my spare I had purchased. Now I've purchased 2 more for him. My dad does not do jiu-jitsu, he's 85 years old and has major knee issues on his left knee. He can not walk without this brace and relies on it. Doctors liked the brace because it's not one of those braces that keeps the weight off. It still let's you weight bare while you build the muscles in the quad and knee.
PPJ K.
Fantastic product
Started BJJ 6 months ago at the age of 44. Knees were buckled before starting but man did they go downhill fast after starting to roll. Been wearing an Anaconda knee brace on both knees for the past 3 months, the difference is unbelievable. The fit is great, moves very very little even when dripping with sweat. Strong support around the knee and the gel pad around the knee cap absorbs all the abuse. Can't recommend highly enough.
PPatrick T.
knee braces
I bought 2 knee braces for my grandson. he loves them . the order was easy and goods delivered as and when promised with a personal e mail and reply about my grandson which was nice. I would recommend to anyone and everyone and hopefully will buy from you again when needed. even though I am Canadian and at the moment I am trying not to buy US goods. I hope that will change in the future. Can you tell me where your goods are made.
BBirgitte J.
Comfortable and good
It’s really comfortable to wear and a good protection. However the straps are a bit short so it’s a little tight. I used it for BJJ and this winter I will try it out for snowboarding too. I worried about the pads first, because they seem kind of small but for BJJ it has not been a problem yet. I live in the EU and normally I don’t buy from the US but it worked fine. But without the extra discount it would have been too expensive.
JJustin W.
Thoroughly Satisfied
I bought two knee braces on sale through the website after they were recommended to me by one of my Jiu Jitsu coaches and they have completely met my expectations. They are easy to put on, they stay in place even through an hour plus of grappling, and are very comfortable. I had knee surgery five years ago and the braces give my knee the support it needs while still being flexible and giving me the mobility I need during rolls.
SScott
Life/Knee Savers! Awesome Knee Guards!!
These guards are amazing! I couldn't imagine doing jiu jitsu and rolling without these. Very comfortable, very supportive, and "Super Necessary". I'm 48 and just started jiu jitsu again after 20 years - these pads are a life saver!! The padding around the knee cap is what makes the difference. I never leave reviews but felt I had to help anyone else that might be on the fence about getting these. Get off the fence and get them!
MMatt W.
Great Knee Brace
I have absolutely LOVED wearing this knee brace while training the last few weeks. I feel safer while rolling with my knee brace on. When put on correctly, the brace hasn't slipped at all over multiple training sessions in a row. The customer service has been amazing as well. I ordered the wrong size initially, but customer service was very helpful and responsive in helping me so I could be right back on the mats and training.
JJeff C.
Solid brace
I've purchased two sets of knee braces from Anaconda. Both sets have been fantastic. They completely support my knees but still give me unrestricted range of motion. The only issue I've had is the braces I was sent (on the second order) were different than the original set i received and I had to exchange them for a smaller size due to the way they fit my knees. I emailed the company and was sent an exchange without any issue.
AAnnette H.
Gave us our lives back!
My husband and I both have had a total knee replacement twice on the same knee. Your Anaconda wrap for the knee is absolutely amazing. It completely holds everything together and confident that we can do anything. He is back to bowling (we both are Hall of Fame Bowlers in the Greater Louisville United States Bowling Congress). I am back at the gym doing cardio for an hour or 90 minutes. Thank you for giving us our lives back.
MMike
Best you'll ever buy!
Absolutely amazing! Bought a pair for bjj and they're better than any other knee brace/pad I've worn. Very comfortable and the knee cushion is more than sufficient without being bulky. They stay in place throughout entire 1 to 3 hour training sessions with no need to adjust, even when I wear them under gi pants. I cannot recommend these enough, and try to convince every older grappler I roll with to buy a pair for themselves.
KKatie G.
Anaconda knee support - very happy with my investment!
Very supportive and comfortable to wear. Doesn't slide downwards or wrinkle at the back of the knee, like other braces I have used in the past. A well made & very well designed, high quality product. I measured my size and according to the size chart, was at the top end for a small and the lowest measurement for a medium. I'm glad I went for the medium however, as it feels perfectly snug. Any smaller would be uncomfortable.
SSK F.
Worth the hype
Wore my Anaconda knee braces to my Jiu Jitsu class on the weekend and immediately felt the difference in support around my injured knee. They're comfortable as well and I was impressed how I could move without any bunching of material in the backs of my knees (problem I had with other compression knee sleeves). I also ordered the wrong size at first and the exchange process was quick and painless. Genuine 5 stars from me!
SSachin J.
5 star customer service
I had a bit of a sizing nightmare, going way too small to begin with then too large. On both occasions the team were super responsive, understanding and helped me organise an exchange. Used them once for weight training and a couple of times for BJJ, some minor slippage but otherwise staying in place. Have a prior acl repair which I stretched and these supports have given me more confidence in my knee with starting BJJ.
MMitch
Excellent product & service
I have been looking for a knee brace that doesn't continually slide down and have to be readjust. This not only doesn't slide down, but it gives me the support I need and I love the added stabilizer. And to make things even better, when I contacted their customer service because of a small issue, they were extremely polite and handled everything in the best way possible, and I just can't say enough. Five stars all day.
TTerry C.
Anaconda Knee braces for the win.
These braces have made all the difference in the world. I just started jiu jitsu at age 53. I've been an LEO for the past 30 years. Total knee replacement on my left knee a year ago. Right knee is not far behind (maybe). But with the braces, I may be able to kick that can down the road a long time if not indefinitely. I wear them on both knees when I train (roll). I would rate them as GREAT! Thank you for your product.
FFrank V.
Anaconda knee brace the answer to your prayers
I have worn knee braçes for over 20 yrs because my knees are destroyed from pro wrestling. So have worn every type of brace imaginable. The anaconda is far superior simply because it holds everything together & gives you trust & comnfidence in that your knee wont blow out if you step wrong etc. Along with not being bulky. I highly recomend these knee braçes for anyone who even has severe knee problems like i do.
DDouglas J.
Works
The integrity and difference in pain was immediate. When you have knee issues you become your own expert on braces, bands, wraps, whatever. You know quickly if it’s a waste of money or if not. The Anaconda is the best I’ve tried thus far. 2 ACL repairs (same knee) and a meniscus surgery last April…also same knee lol. This brace works well, especially if you’re still active in life. Try it, you won’t be sorry!!!
SShawn
Great product, better company.
Awesome company, I ordered two braces on a sale, and a couple months later I left a review when they started tearing. Anaconda reached out to me, and sent me two brand new braces at no cost. The new braces also look to be a newer design and I don’t anticipate the issue I had last time. All around this is a great company and I’ve had a great experience working with them. The braces themselves also work amazing.
JJoost E.
Great brace!
My braces came quickly especially considering they had to come from the US to the Netherlands. Build quality is good and they’re comfortable. They stay in place really well, in a long session I might need to pull them up a little once at the most. My knee feels stable and hardly pops when normally I can’t roll without it popping multiple times. Definitely worth getting for rolling with a slightly injured knee.
Ddarren m.
Knee replacement put on hold
As an aging ex amateur athlete. (Football). . I started playing over 50s walking football after a long football amateur career. 10 yrs in my left knee was coming to an ending. I was up from knee replacement but After endless knee support and brace I seen an add for the anaconda knee support and I can guarantee this brace works . Surgery has been put on hold. . and I couldn’t be happier. . thank you so much. .
DDavid T.
Great brace
The Knee brace is great!!!! Doesn't slip, gives great support and just an overall great product. I hurt my knee about a year ago playing soccer and stopped playing to give it a rest, but this brace gave me the confidence to get back out and start playing. I wasn't sure how it would be given this isn't necessarily catered towards the sport I play but after getting back into it, I felt more at ease. Love it!!!
CCalum T.
Good support
I originally thought it was going to mess with my range of motion , as I’m primarily a highly flexible leg lock focused gaurd player but I was really suprised that it didn’t and it is a massive support when I have aches and pains in my knee , and I just need a little bit of extra security for my knee on a particular day . would highly recommend even for a rainy day when u feel like u might need it in future
BBryan A.
Knee braces
The quality of these braces are great! Only one problem. I did the measurements and they are too small. I don't know if I messed up. But they don't fit. But they are perfect so I will set them back and use them when I can get them on. It would be nice if there was some larger size options. Needless to say the quality and build is great so I am more than willing to wait. Just triple check your measurements.
MMike M.
Black Magic!
Struggled with a golfers elbow for nearly a year. It affected my strength training and mood in general. Tried every other brace and lotion known to man, with little relief. Two months with an anaconda elbow brace and I’m back to where I was! Fantastic support and product! I call it black magic! It protected my body, while I was recovering and, I believe, I’m nearly full strength again. HIGHLY recommend!!!
JJohn M.
I’m dealing with an MCL
I’m dealing with an MCL injury and was initially given a huge brace. I bought this Anaconda knee brace and it has worked wonders for me. I’ll know more once I’m cleared to start rolling again but otherwise, this brace has helped my normal day-to-day tasks. As for sizing, I was in between sizes. I contacted support and was advised to go by the actual measurement. I received the brace and it fit perfectly!
MMichael G.
Best braces available!
I was worried at first when the 4 each large knee braces arrived as they seemed slightly too big. (I am 6'2" 230lbs) But after a single wash, they fit perfectly and am surprised how well they hold up. I wear them 6 days a week during weightlifting, kickboxing, and Taekwondo practice. 10/10 best braces I've ever had. The need for the braces is chronic knee pain from injuries sustained while active duty.
CCody C.
Great Stability
So far so good, I broke my tibia back in August 2022, I went back to training in March of 2023(but didn’t have the braces) I didn’t feel good whenever I was training without them. I bought them this year 2024 and so far my leg feels way more stable and I don’t have as much of a mental block when training. I don’t know if I will wear them forever but I highly recommend them for anyone with leg injuries.
JJonathan M.
Back in the saddle!
These knee braces are great. I am due (probably overdue) for knee surgery on both knees after 28 years in public safety. I decided against my better judgement to jump back in as a Probation/Parole Officer and these knee braces have been a game changer. I'm now able to hit the field with confidence I haven't had from any other knee brace, and god knows, I have tried more than my fair share. I am a fan.
TTyler D.
Great products.
The knee recovery is too notch. Best feeling in my knee and alleviates pain and pressure increasing mobility. I use it to help my clients as a personal trainer. And myself after my torn ACL. I feel Fantastic and am back to competing in jujitsu after 6 months after the ACL tear. And just the knee wrap for jujitsu after 5. In tandem with my resistance train8ng and yoga and massage therapy. It is a must.
Eeric y.
So far they've been really
So far they've been really good. Already dealing with a knee injury, so it has been good protection and reinforcement. If I could be so bold as to suggest a small change? Add 2 inches of elastic fabric above he current top of the knee guard. When it's put on -the wearer can fold the fabric over the velcro to prevent abrasion. Not sure if it everyone would share the same sentiment. Happy to have these.
DDavid S.
My experience with knee braces
I hated the bulky feeling and the binding up with every brace I have bought. The one I was sent from the VA was even worse. I took a chance after seeing the ad for the anaconda. It was the best thing I could of done. I get the support I need plus the mobility I want. There is no binding and I don't have pain from wearing it. I found a winner and I thank you for creating this brace. Sincerely David S.
JJustin K.
The last knee brace you'll buy
I'm not a light weight by any means, I have pain in both my knees but when I put these on I'm not worries or nervous about another injury to either one of them. These are strongly made, superior in strength and comfort! 100/100!!!! Thank you for making a very superbly strong product, thank you for not making a subpar product! Highly highly recommend especially if and or when you do jujitsu or karate!
JJose L.
This is my armor!!!
During training I injured my knee. I felt my knee cap pop out and back into place during drills. The pain was unbearable and I the swelling was coming fast. Luckily nothing was torn but I lost confidence in my knee. After some time off, I returned to training with my brand new Anaconda brace and it is a game changer. I am taking more changes during training without worrying about re-injuring my knee.
DDaniel C.
Not used for fighting
I tore my meniscus in my knee a year and half ago and after a very slow recovery, I got back to playing football. These have worked perfect for this!! This product isn’t just for fighting, I use weekly for playing intense 5 a side football and I have practically no pain after the hour and half I play running constantly with high impact. Been using for a month now and I can’t rate this product more!

Anaconda Knee Brace and Compression Sleeve Review
Knee Braces as well as the Compression sleeves have both helped me tremendously. I have two rebuilt knees (one full replacement and one partial replacement) and both are showing signs of wear. I lead a very active lifestyle. The compression sleeves and now the braces are part of my everyday wear to help me deal with those issues. I have highly recommended both products to friends with knee issues.
EErnest R.
Great Customer Service
There was an issue with my initial order with the shipping company. I notified Anaconda and they quickly sent me another order promptly. I received the order within a few days with no other issues. I used the knee braces and they felt awesome. Great customer support from the company! I definitely would recommend other potential customers to buy the same product and use the company. - Ernie Ragadio
EEric T.
Great Knee Support while Training
I purchased the Anaconda knee brace following my diagnosis of a Bakers cyst in my right knee. After icing the knee to reduce swelling I was still in need of support to prevent further injury. I tried the Anaconda and have felt 95% better. The remaining 5% will come after some continued rehabilitation. The Anaconda actually allows me to continue my rehab and I couldn't do it without it. Thank you.
FFrank D.
Helped my knee
I am 64 and started Jiu Jitsu, just a lowly white belt. I got rolled and my left knee got hurt. It still isn't 100%, but the knee brace helps keep it safe. I feel more confident with it on. I ordered a small (per the measurement guide) and it was way too tight. 6 ft, 170lbs. Luckily, the guy at the dojo that told me about your company had a medium that was too big for him, so we traded. All good.
JJustin S.
Excellent Product and Customer Service
I had a very bad MCL sprain and was recommended this brace by my coach. I was in between sizes based on the fit guide and ordered both a M and a L. The M wouldn't fit over my calf, so I reached out to the Anaconda team. The return and replacement process was quick and easy. I'm now back on the mats after rehabbing the knee and the brace is helping more than expected. Great product, great service!
MMarco S.
Best brace out there!
I wasn’t skeptical that this brace would help but coming from years of running, soccer & now bjj , I have tried a lot of things but this brace was by far the best thing! Supportive, comfortable and easy to get on. I’ve had it for three weeks and I’m so glad I got two! Game changer, if you’re an athlete with knee issues and you’re on the fence, just get them, they work and it’s worth every penny!
FForbes
Confidence inspiring
I purchased a brace for each knee as I have an old ACL injury on one knee and a imbalance in the other knee so training at Thai was nearly impossible and even if I did do light training my confidence levels were in my boots. The braces have gave me confidence back making my knees feel safe and secure and has allowed me to nearly train as normal again. I highly recommend the Anaconda Knee braces.
DDavid C.
Best knee brace ever
I was starting to get some pain behind the knees and I couldn’t roll freely anymore, couldn’t shoot my shots or even push off heavy. So I’ve been seeing this knee brace all around insta and figured I’ll give it a try. I was so shocked that I was able to move around and roll freely again I bought 4 more!!!. I’m considering also looking into their knee recovery item. Recommend the knee brace 10/10
DDan S.
8th grade wrestler switched to Anaconda
My son is a first yr 8th grade wrestler. Hes loves the Anaconda brace. He popped his knee out of place. After that he used 2 different types from different companies. One was working well until opposing players would grab and undo the straps. But with the Anaconda brace, he says he has better movement and feels more stability. Plus the straps are up high, so his under shorts cove them. Thank you
PPaul S.
So far so good
So far so good. I believe I have a minor knee tear and the brace seemed to help stabilize the knee. I'll know more as I use it more. I can say that I had to contact customer service because the delivery people couldn't find my place and the customer service people were excellent and responsive. I'll definitely recommend this company on that basis alone and the product does seem to be very good.
SScott R.
Excellent quality, looking forward to rolling with it.
Too early to say hot it performs as the knee brace was ordered as a multi-order purchase alongside the shoulder brace I "sorely" needed. The knee brace is clearly high quality and fits fine but was a little tighter than expected at the top (I ordered a medium), which suggests it fits true to size as I was on the cusp of large. It's certainly worth measuring accurately before placing an order.
DDarryl M.
Great Brace!!
I’ve gone through a lot of knee braces and this is literally the only one works as advertised! While it does move little bit in tough rolls, it stays in place way better than anything else I’ve used. Lasted through more sessions and washes than anything of the others as well. Definitely feel more confident that my knees are protected now that l use these. Highly recommend this great product!!
HHenry K.
Worth the price
These knee pads are fantastic and are absolutely worth the price even if they are not on sale. I did have an issue where the strap on one of the knee pads I ordered almost came off after two trips in the washer. However, I took a picture of it, explaining the situation to the Anacondafightwear team on Instagram and they sent me a replacement free of charge. Great product made by a great team.
OOscar J.
Second chances do exist
I have been out the Army since 2009 and am now dealing bilateral issues on my knees. Just starting training with Anaconda Knee Braces on Bilateral issues. Might I add I am training again thanks to the quality and feeling of this product. I get to enjoy this next season of my life. You guys need to make ankle guards with this same quality and technology. You will have a lifetime customer here.

The Best and Greatest Braces I have EVER owned!
I have worn knee braces every since the day I injured them in pre-Ranger school. Majority of my military career I had to wear them. None were good or as effective as the Anaconda Knee braces, even being retired the braces are 100% better than the ones VA issued me or even better than the ones my PCM ordered. There braces of allowed be to feel secure in knowing that my knees are held in place
JJustin P.
An amazing brace!!!
The knee brace works wonders. I did not do any damage to my meniscus, but had some severe bruising that concerned me and cause pain. I bought the brace not knowing what to expect, but it basically eliminated the pain will doing drills and rolling in my BJJ classes. It gives great stability and I still take it easy while training, but it allows me to practice with confidence and without pain.
TTony T.
Great product. Great service and fast shipping.
I messed up my knee at muay thai and kept re-injuring it. I thought I'd try this brace and see it helped and it totally has. I'm training with confidence when I wear it. The fit is snug yet flexible. I'm 5'6" 145 lbs and wear a small. I bought 2 for $59 USD. Great value in my opinion. I got an email from the owners after ordering to thank me for the purchase, which I thought was pretty cool.

Kajukembo, the original MMA.
I am a competitive martial artist in the Kajukembo system. With three knee surgeries in my past, I was concerned about my advancement in rank and sparring intensity. This brace has been a game changer. There are so many braces, sleeves, bands, and tapes that just don't work with the movements of the martial arts. I'm so thankful. My Master Sifu let me borrow one to try out and I was hooked.
GGabby P.
Worth the Investment
I was recommended anaconda products by a couple people at different occasions. One of my friends actually had this knee brace that I was able to try before I purchased one. This doesn’t slip, it still is very protective, and it is not bulky where I can still wear it underneath my shin guards without any issues. I have had multiple knee braces and this one is definitely worth the investment.
VVince C.
Old guy rocks with this brace.
I am 78 and do the roller rink with my brace. It seems to realign my knee somehow so there is no bone on bone on the inside of my knee joint. I get a lot of young people who give me real compliments on my skating moves, which I have a lot of. Learn more turns and spins every session which would be impossible without this brace. I can even do crossovers and racing moves with zero discomfort.
SScot L.
Braces are amazing
I have bad knees, but I love pickleball and heaving lifting at the gym! These knee braces are amazing and the first ones I free like really work. No only these but the shoulder braces and the calf braces are amazing. The shoulder brace literally took all the pain out of my shoulder, which I thought I would always have to live with. I am very much looking forward to getting my ankle braces!
DDarren S.
Knee brace
Having trouble with my knee so thought id try Anaconda as their braces are way better than others on the market! Been using it for a while now and very impressed, no slipping down my leg during rolls, protection for the kneecap and good support as the straps allow you to add pressure where needed! Even better my knee is actually improving so very happy! Thank you to everyone at Anaconda!!!
JJared H.
Very well designed
I bought my brace for some minor pain I'd been having reoccur occasionally. Wore it for about a week and forgot my knee hurt and left it in my bag...thank you lord 😆. My friend hurt his knee 2 days later and has been wearing it ever since. I bought 2 more when they went BOGO. They're AWESOME!! Don't slip, rub, pinch... baby, you don't know it's there!! And you can train on. A++, Anaconda.

Jiu Jitsu/ when you listen to your BFF
I had a knee injury 10 years ago. My Best Friend/Soulmate invited me to do a class of jiu jitsu . That class cooked me and injury my knee again. I seen your ad on IG. Bought for me and BFF. Used it at our next class. Due to the protect to my bad knee. I was able to finally get one of my classmates to submit. I tell everyone in my clas about your product. 4 of my classmates bought as well.
HHayden B.
Would recommend
Bought from New Zealand, shipping was great. The sizing is good and it stays in position excellently, might need a quick adjustment if pressure is applied directly on the brace during a roll. The compression is perfect for me recovering from a torn meniscus, offers more support the more my knee bends. I love the gel padding as well, makes wrestling entries much easier on my knobbly knees!
CCarlos R.
There’s a reason that I keep purchasing products
As a person who has had bad knees for decades, and who was obese, I was putting tremendous weight on them, but now that I’ve lost a lot of weight and am active, these braces are a game change. I’ve tried many different types and none have come close. I just recently purchased the elbow ones and I will be purchasing the shoulders. Can’t see why the results will be any different! Thank you

Phenomenal braces!
I love these braces!! I bought 2! When I tried them on for the first time. . . . I felt so supported!! All the exercises that I was avoiding in the gym I couldn't wait to do! it was amazing! I felt virtually no pain at all! The only draw back I can mention is that when I put them on with my leggings they slide just a tad bit during my workouts. . . . but they're phenomenal nonetheless!!

Great Product
I purchased two of these braces to wear for BJJ class. They have really helped prevent my knees from taking a beating in class which makes it easier to focus on learning instead of my old man sore ass knees. I have no problem with them coming loose or slipping, when you put them on properly they stay in place through a couple hours of class and open mat rolling. I highly recommend them.

Best I’ve ever had
These probably are the best knee braces I’ve ever had. Good support for a great rolling workout and seems to minimize the wear on my knees such that my knees are actually feeling better. I’m also drinking nettle tea for joint pain and taking Turmeric again so it could be the therapeutic effects of everything including knees over toes work to strengthen the knees. Try them and good luck!

Knee brace
Cheers Anaconda Fightwear for my two knee braces. They are excellent and I won't train without them. I recently joined BJJ and I got a knee injury after a couple of classes. As the right knee was weak I took some time out to rest and waited for my knee pads to arrive. I'm since back on the matt and loving BJJ plus I feel confident wearing the knee supports. Cheers @ HTTPS://geroarts.com

Best brace I have ever used.
All Day. The braces is amazing. I had knee surgery a few years back and was always worried about hurting it again. After rolling and getting put in a few lockdowns during the start of jits journey my knee started to hurt. Strap this brace on and I can't feel a thing. It works as advertised and even if your knee isn't banged up or hurting I highly suggest all BJJ have this in their bag.

Great Knee Beace!
I bought one because I’ve had a lot of knee pain in the past, but when I wore this to my last class, I felt so much better. The padding is excellent and it almost makes you feel bouncy, the added compression and straps help it to keep your knee working good and reducing pain, while it provides enough support to keep it from slipping off. Fits great, feels good… 10/10 worth every penny.
BBrian A.
For the $ these can't be beat.
For the money this is an excellent brace. I'm in my late 40s and have had nagging knee injuries since middle school. These help keep my knees from hurting during workouts and jiu jitsu. The only thing that could be better is if there was slightly more support, but due to these being able to be used in competitions that's not really an option and the support is adequate. Great product.

Goated
I’ve had 2 ACL reconstructions on both knees and my left knee has not felt the same. Every time I play pickup ball or pickleball, I’m always cautious when playing. I had bought a budget knee brace from Walmart. After reviewing these guys I bought one to check em out. Feels like I’m running on clouds with no fear of my knee giving out. Perfect for people that are 30 going on 60 (haha).
RRobert R.
Im knee over heels for this product
First I want to say I had to exchange the knee brace they were very professional about it was very quickly replaced very kind very..now as far as the knee brace,it is top notch I run with it I go to the gym it does not slide it does not move it stays in place very comfortable aesthetically looks pretty good for a knee brace I would absolutely recommend this to anyone thousand percent…

Greatest knee brace
I blew out my knee many years ago. Been having knee pain ever since, have tried everything under the sun. Nothing has felt right. Either too tight or it would not stay up and/or they dig into your skin. Then I bought the anaconda knee brace. I completely surprised and how they fit, no slipping and no digging into the skin. Extremely happy with it and strongly recommend it to everyone
MMatthew F.
Great Product
You guys make great stuff as always. I was a little disappointed by the stabilizer. It feels very flimsy and I’m not sure how good of a job it will do preventing a twisting motion. I guess I was expecting more of a hinged mechanism similar to Shock Doctors Brace. Overall great product, I’ve been buying these braces for years and have told several training partners how great they are.
DDeborah. M.
Game changer
I’ve had acl reconstruction then had more damage to my knee and am constantly worrying about re-injury. My BJJ professor Steve, suggested this. He uses them and said this is THE only brand he recommends. I ordered them and omg.. it’s a game changer! I feel more secure, more supported and there is no pain. It’s a miracle. It lets me continue with my BJJ and krav training .. thank you
RRonnie R.
Kept my knees safe for my first competition! Love them!
Bought a pair in preparation for my first competition and it did not disappoint! Used it for a week before the actual day, and between the adrenaline, panic and age, the knee braces held its place! Survived the whole thing, thanks to these! Definitely won’t step into the mat without them from here on! I’d give it a 10 star if I could! They’re my knees’ new bestfriends! Thanks guys!

Anaconda Knee Brace
This is a fantastic brace and I use it for all of my activities including working in the gym, and the Dojo. I have a chronic knee injury, but this brace makes me able to keep up and continue to improve. I have been recommending it to everyone. Definitely worth the investment! Durable, comfortable, and moves like it's your own skin. Very happy with my purchase, and I'd do it again!
JJoseph P.
Good but a wait
Quality great I love wearing it while rolling. The worst part about the order was the ship time. I had to ship back because I order the wrong size so it took 8 days to get after ordering 2 days it took me to ship back using USPS. DHL is a terrible shipping company and it took another 9 days to get my replacement all in all a great brace. But something has to be done about shipping
CChristopher B.
Anaconda Fightwear - Anaconda Knee Brace
Fantastic so far. I wanted to wait to review it until I was able to get back on the mat, and, they held up just like I hoped they would. The extra reinforcement was very helpful and ensured I did not reinjure myself. They stayed in place and did not slip like other similar products I have used. All, in all, exactly what I wanted and now an essential part of my jiu jitsu uniform.
AAhmad A.
Stable, supportive, revolutionary
This knee brace has changed the game for me. After suffering a wrestling related knee injury, I thought I would never be able to shoot off my right knee again. However, with rest and slowly incorporating rehab with this brace, I am able to confidently move freely again, and am slowly getting back to where I was before the injury. This is by far the best knee brace in the game.
MMichael T.
Exactly as advertised. . .
Got a complete ACL tear in my right knee and ordered both the knee support and the sleeve. . . . was able to play 45 mins of football, without the usual problems. . . not perfect but nothing will be with shattered ligaments. . . hugely impressed with them, good support in all the right areas, didn't slip once during the game and did better than I expected. . . . Great product
DDavion A.
Amazing for bigboys too!
Im a Sumo wrestler who is also recovering from a knee injury and needed something that was on the affordable side but also effective. Ive seen the ads on instagram and got the 3xl knee brace and MAN no regrets at all! My knee feels very supported and Im able to go full out on my charge (Tachi-Ai). Amazing product and definitely will be recommending to my fellow wrestlers 👌🏾
BBrandon I.
What a relief!
Purchased the knee braces, but when it arrived the shoulder brace was in the box. I was disappointed, but after reaching out to customer service they provided me with a satisfactory resolution. The shoulder brace and knee brace both work great! Stabilization for my shoulder and knee is fantastic. Gives me the confidence to lift heavy weights. Feels great to be back training.

Knee Brace
Used the knee brace for the first time this morning and it added excellent support to this old knee of mine. For what it's worth, I just celebrated my 69th birthday for the tenth time and although I don’t participate in martial arts, I’m still active in other sports (i. e. pickleball, bicycling, etc) that require movement. Thanks for your help and you’ve got a great product

Knee Brace Pair
I started my Jiu Jitsu training in January. My knees would hurt during and the day after the mats. After a few months I decided to pull the trigger on the anaconda knee braces. It only took about a week and a half for the pain to stop all together. They stay tight with a few minor adjustments. The padding and support make you feel like you have new knees that can’t be hurt.
BBenjamin A.
Terrific Product
I have had 3 ACL repairs, I'm 51, have no cartilage in either knee. These knee braces are the best I have tried - it doesn't feel like you are wearing braces at all. More akin to a compression sleeve. I feel as if I have the support you need to fight with confidence, but don't at all feel encumbered. It's a terrific product and I just ordered a second set. Highly recommend.
MMadihah :.
knee brace
This is the best knee brace I have ever used. I was struggling with constant knee pain and had actually stopped all of my training because of it. Since I started using this brace, I am officially back to my routine! It has truly made all the difference for me. I'm getting one for my daughter, who is an athlete and suffers from worn-out knees 🙂 This has been wonderful. ty

Can roll now!
I'm old (47, but in Jits years that is like 90), left knee with a Meniscectomy, right knee with a teared meniscus bothering me for years. Afraid to intense/competitive rolls and workout. I decided to buy the Anaconda bundle (2 knee braces). Since then I roll with no problem, Anaconda has created a really good product, specifically designed for grapplers. Gratitude forever
BBryan K.
Finally a good knee brace for grappling!
I’ve been using these for a couple months now and am really happy with them. They give good support and just enough padding but still fit well under my GI pants. Unlike a few other brands I’ve tried, these have given me no issues with slippage and still allow for great movement when grappling. My only concern is the straps becoming over-stretched or wearing out over time.
LLeonard A.
I received two knee braces
I received two knee braces with stabilizer bars all customer's should buy two knee braces don't wait until you hurt your knee protect your knees at all cost. I use the knee braces for work 12 hour days. When I walk there is a spring to my step. When I get on the ground my knee is secure also protected. Anaconda knee braces are comfortable and will not slip down your leg.
MMike G.
Back on the mats
I feel great rolling with my knee brace. I took time off to adequately heal a meniscus injury and the support this knee sleeve helps a lot and provides support for my knee. I’m still very careful when rolling but the sleeve gives me a little more confidence to go back and train. I would highly recommend to anyone recovering from injuries that has kept them from training.
RRalphael W.
Great product
I bought the knees brace because I hyperextended my knee, I can roll freely during juijitsu without even noticing they are on, I also use it during pickleball and it holds my knee from moving laterally. As good as the knee brace is, the customer service is even better. I had a small issue it was resolved quickly. I am 100% satisfied and am recommending to all my friends!
AAurora L.
Aswome
Wear it for training and work..just recovering from a broken knee,most comfortable than others knee support,fell steady yet you are very flexible and don't feel limited in the movements..love the cushion in the front! So helpful even for work, I'm in retails and sometimes I have to go on my knee to reach lower shelves! It's da bomb! Told all my dojo friends to get one..
GGareth B.
Anaconda knee brace
I had surgery on for a meniscus tear on my knee. The Anaconda brace has worked great for me and has helped me get back on the mats. I have purchased 4 so far. Two original which I use for weight training and cardio and two of the new version with the padded knee which I use grappling. It even works under the GI along with no GI. Great product would definitely recommend.
EEvan T.
Great Knee brace at a great price
Was previously using knee supports that were medical grade for knee osteoarthritis, so they were expensive. Two of these cost almost half what one of the other braces cost. Between the two I have noticed very little difference if at all. I have been using for a few weeks now, and my knee caps have felt safe and secure. Glad one of my training partners recommended them.
LLinnea M.
Good but beware small sizes
I got the knee braces w/o stabilizer and they’re great. However, I got xs and it was way too tight. For reference I’m a very thin woman 105lbs and 5’3”. I think unless you’re buying these for a child go with the small - you can always tighten the straps for more support but you can’t loosen the brace. The admin was very helpful with the exchange though so that’s great!
JJOE m.
Exactly what I needed
After 5 knee surgeries and 50+ years of wear & tear, I always wear a knee brace. I’ve been through dozens. The anaconda knee brace is purpose made to help keep me on the mats. Love the very tight and nonprofits padding. The straps really offer sub patellar support. Stays in place and doesn’t get in the way for Gi & no Gi. Doesn’t smell, cleans well. I highly recommend!
MMeletios L.
High quality
Had some fluid buildup in my knees from overuse (work in the trades + BJJ). Bought these and my knees feel much better while rolling, as well as afterwards. Good price point for high quality knee braces. They write this on the packaging but I threw them in the dryer anyways and now some of the velcro is messed up. Let them air dry instead of putting them in the dryer.
IIsaac G.
Better than advertised!
Background, I have no cartilage under my kneecaps due to a car accident years ago. I wore these for a 3 day airsoft milsim event. I put them on in the morning and did not have to readjust them the entire day each day. I didn't notice the ground or the rocks/BBs in knelt on. The compression was perfect for keeping any swelling under control. Definitely recommend these!
EErick B.
Helped after a knee injury!
I injured my knee during a roll, so I got my anaconda knee braces. I felt that they not only stabilized my knee and prevented further injury, but also the recovery time was shortened thanks to the knee braces. It does seem that the increased blood flow thing is real. I highly recommend. My knees are fine now, but I use them for every class and roll as a preventative.
AAustin K.
Love it
I bought one pair at first, as I was skeptical about it. I know bought 3 pair so I can train and not do laundry two times a day. Two of my friends have injured knees. I let them borrow one each. Both guys are going to get a pair after using it once. It's comfortable, it makes my knee feel stable, there's just enough padding for shots or dropping to my knees for judo.
TTerry L.
Post Knee Surgery ACL/MCL/Meniscus
I had surgery a year ago (ACL/MCL/meniscus) and was still painful running, had instability during runs, couldn't run a mile without pain. I tried the anaconda knee brace and PERFECT! I ran a 5K and won my age group and started running longer, pain free runs. I'll get a few more just to have because I'm a believer in them now and recommend to anyone with knee issues.
EEric G.
More than pleasantly surprised!
This knee brace holds a special place in my heart. It gives me so much support that I have been able to continue doing my 20+ mile hikes while I rehab my knee through Illiobatic band syndrome. I was so satisfied with the brace that I ordered a brace for my shoulder and I can’t wait to see how that improves my ability to do weight lifting exercises. Thanks Anaconda.
SStacey K.
Better than the brace we got from the hospital.
Excellent brace, very supportive. We got one from the hospital and the Anaconda brace is more comfortable and more supportive. My son hurt his knee at wrestling practice (partially torn miniscus, MCL & ACL) and will need surgery. We bought the brace for when he is able to return to the mat, but he started wearing it instead of the hospital brace, it is just better.
AAdam S.
Amazing
I tore my ACL MCL and meniscus about 2 months ago, no surgery thank god, but this brace has been an incredible tool on my way back… I’ve been back to the gym for about 3 weeks and have been using this brace since I came back. It stays tight, doesn’t slide, provides incredible support… it’s a million times better than any other sleeve on the market! Highly recommend
JJordan
Knee Brace Effectiveness
I started training Jiu Jitsu 4 months ago and in my first couple weeks I tweaked my HCL on my right knee. It was a little sore and felt loose. I had never had a knee injury so this was a new experience. I started wearing the Anaconda knee brace on my right knee since then and it has progressively healed and feels almost 100%. I am very satisfied with this product.
DDavid P.
Great product
I am fully enjoying the product. For a larger individual I did run into some issues with it rolling down at the top but if I pull it up high enough it does not roll as bad. I find that if you don't put it on just perfectly it will bunch up behind the leg as well. Other than the two small criticisms it is a fantastic product and the staff has been amazing as well.
NNathan P.
Knee brace
I have to say it’s a great knee brace I have had a knee injury for the past few months haven’t been doing much wrestling or judo. Iv been able to start drilling again with the brace on and getting confident on my feet again. I had an issue when the wrong size was sent to me but the team at anaconda got the issue sorted and sent out fast was a great service. 10/10
KKurt E.
Saves my knees so I can continue to enjoy BJJ
At 58y/o and after 10 yrs of powerlifting my knees have had their share of wear and tear. Add to that 4 yrs of BJJ and I thought I was going to have to hang up my GI for good. I'd seen the adds and finally decided to give them a try. Very thankful I did. This brace gives me the confidence and support to continue to roll without hesitation. Can't thank you enough!
JJosephine B.
Best Wraps after years of no support
I bought these for my husband after years and years of him never getting the support he needs. It's a great set of bands, but he realized the XL was a bit too big. Plan on buying one size down (L) in a few weeks for the better fit. Otherwise, AMAZING! He's wearing these during martial arts training (Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu), and for stunt training.
CCharles W.
Outstanding Customer Service
I recently purchased an anaconda knee brace. After using it for one class, I noticed a minor defect with the velcro strap. I notified Anaconda, and sent them a picture of the issue and they immediately responded to me that they were sending me a new knee brace. The new knee brace arrived a few days later. You just don’t see customer service like this these days!
JJonathan Z.
Great design.
Great fit. Bought this for post meniscus surgery support. Will use for moto and mtb and hiking. Probably not the normal for the brand but it’s a much better buy than I expected! Patella pocket isn’t overly padded and it’s honestly surprising how good it fits. The wrap around straps are the key for this I think. I’m 6’ 180lbs and the Medium is the perfect size.
MMichael B.
Oil field
I work and have work a crap ton of hours nonstop for the last 14 years. The engine, compressor, and panel work has been hell on my knees. With in two weeks of wearing the anaconda knees brace, I have next to no pain in my left knee. I was barely able to get in to the work truck before. Now if any issue arises I throw on the brace and I can work with no issues.
MMohammad
Incredible customer service! Incredible products!
Karen has been absolutely incredible in answering all questions and working with me on a sizing and wrong shipment issue. Had the wrong knee brace ordered and they worked with me to ensure I get the new knee brace in! Products are amazing and I feel so safe wearing them! I wouldn’t recommend another company and will definitely be purchasing more in the future!
FFlynn D.
Great product
Best knee brace I’ve tried. As someone without an ACL in one knee who loves training in BJJ it offers fantastic stability, comfort and support. Compared to cheaper or alternative braces I’ve tried that felt either too flimsy and not supportive enough, or too rigid and restrictive this brace offers fantastic stability without being too noticeable when rolling.
WWilliam S.
Great product. 1 thing to be picky about.
I'm pretty heavy. 5'10"" 260lbs I got the largest size based on my measurements. Fits great, feels great my only complaint is the extreme taper of bigger people from thigh to calf makes it roll or slide no matter what. I used tough skin spray and that worked. Just wonder if there is something anaconda could do to help the larger braces stay up on bigger legs.
JJerry L.
Super surprise I was thinking gimmick and turned out they're great quality and work great
I was very happy and honestly surprised at the Quality and the performance of me to be honest I wasn't expecting much I thought it might have been a gimmick I was wrong quality does the job keeps my knee from feeling wobbly. I bought two so I have a backup one 100% happy with the product I hope it doesn't change over time I may buy a couple more just to have
PPatrick I.
Braces are to big. Busy
Braces are to big. Busy month, was not able to send in for exchange in time. Unfortunately. Customer service was super awesome and sweet though. I just dropped the ball. I do wish one of the straps has velcro on the top so the other strap could over lap. But this may just be a defect of the brace being too big for my leg. So it exceeds the tightened position
PPaul M.
Worth every cent!!!
So not gna lie I was super skeptical of this product especially seeing it pop up on every bjj page…I broke down bought one loved it!! Regretted I didn’t buy a second one, but check this Anaconda saw my review and hooked me up still with a second one!!! Great customer service and my knees feel amazing!!! Thank you Anaconda lifetime supporter for sure here!!!
DDave
Using for recovery and will continue to use
Loving the knee support so far. I am recovering from an MCL tear and this has been providing the needed support without the bulk. I plan to use them on both knees when I'm able to return to ice hockey. As a goalie, there's a lot of strain and torque put on our knees and, from my experience with the wraps so far, I am sure they will really help on the ice.
JJuvy A.
Anaconda knee brace
I loved my old anacondas but looks like you improved these even more. Love the longer length, the rubber on inside and the better patella cushion. I feel like the straps even wrap around I bit better than the old ones. I got one for my 16 year old because he had knee surgery and now he rides a lot of bicycles and he loves the comfort in this brace as well
SSBG B.
Best brace on the market
I wear mine when I’m teaching kids classes or even rolling for class myself. Knee pain is alleviating day by day now. I also ordered two different sizes and the team helped swap one of the wrong sizes with no hassle whatsoever. Awesome company awesome knee brace. If your hesitant, just buy it you won’t regret it. Thanks to the team at anaconda fight wear!
DDavid
Satisfied with my Purchase
I bought two. They buy extra for $10. 00 deal. I wear both of them at my combat center, alternating them out throughout the week and washing them. Several other combat athletes at my gym use them, and my coach recommends them. There are some knee braces on Amazon but my coach told me to return them and get the Anaconda. I like mine. They look good on me.
TTanya C.
I purchased the knee brace
I purchased the knee brace with stabilizer over a month ago. I train Taekwondo 4 days a week w/out a meniscus in my left knee and I’ve tried every knee brace out there. This one so far has given support but yet breathable and flexible material. I am able execute kicks without a sleeve restricting the knee. 10/10 will be recommended to my fellow athletes.
SShane P.
Im back baby!
Honestly they are too good. I bought a very generous bundle pack. Mostly so I could share with my brother who just tore his ACL. He received the ice pack knee as well as the vibration/stimulating knee. Its too early for him to say, but for me personally, the braces are amazing. I jave been able to wear then for up to 8 hours without any real discomfort.
CChris W.
Worth a look for people who roll hard or are injury prone!
I bought these after a session on leglocks left me injured and my knee giving way. Ive worn these intermittently every few sessions when I am tired or for session where I know I’ll be training harder and it’s been great. It makes rolling really comfortable on the knees, and i am more inclined to try new things than worry about picking up another injury.
CCurtis A.
Highly recommended…
After using several different knee braces, I found this one by accident. However, of all of the braces this is by far is the most comfortable and even without hinged apparatus it is the most stable I have used to date. The straps, crossing and traversing around the kneecap holds it in place, no matter what the activity. By far the best price I’ve used.
PPhil H.
Game Changer
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a 53-year-old BJJ practitioner, these Anaconda knee braces have been a total game-changer! I wear them on both knees, and they make me feel secure and strong again. Before, my knees would ache and hurt after just three days of training. Now, I can roll with confidence and comfort. Can’t say enough about these braces-highly recommend them!
TTravis S.
46, Martial artist, snowboarder, Dad to a 7 y/o =
I had a full ACL rupture, reconstructive surgery, and still working through PT. I bought 2, and wear this brace everyday. From my workouts to working all day on my feet in an auto shop. It breathes well, and I love it! once my leg gets normal size again, I’m going to buy the bigger ones to wear and protect myself from future injuries. Highly recommend!
BBenjamin S.
Great support and range.
Unfortunately I tore my MCL the day before these arrived. I used them during recovery. Wore it all day and it's held up well. I've only had one roll in it, but it give fantastic support and don't make you feel restricted. Compression and straps are very durable. It doesn't ride or look sloppy after many wears and washes. You won't regret this purchase.
JJoseph L.
10/10
So first things first: my knee pain after rolling is gone, im contemplating buying another for the other knee. Now then, comfort? Amazing, once we start going I dont even notice its there. Does it slide down? Hell no, that thing stays exactly where you leave it. Cost? Id say comparable to other knee braces that are terrible. Cant say enough about it 🙂
TThomas H.
I love my knee braces
As someone who had ACL reconstruction surgery about 14 months ago, I love my knee brace. The compression is excellent, it doesn't slide, the padding makes shooting in comfortable and confident. They are easy to wash, I just put them in a delicates bag and throw them in the wash. They air dry quickly. I use them on both knees because they feel so good.
MMichael A.
Best gear hands down
Excellent knee brace. Exactly what I needed. I got these less than a week before I was suppose to do the Tough Ruck, which was the first time I work them. I got through the entire marathon wearing them. Extremely comfortable and very supportive. My Knees felt like I was 20 years old again. I will definitely be buying more Anaconda gear in the future.
MMitchell F.
Piece of Mind
I am over 40 and have been using two knee braces 3+ class a week for the last month and a half. I find they provide great support and this provides me with piece of mind. I have been washing them after every class and I find they wash well, dry quick and appear to be holding up very well. I would recommend. They also do not slip down during training!
JJoseph K.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR.....
Do you love BJJ / grappling but have bad knees from wear and tear? Stop wasting time and buy these kneepads. I have tried them all and nothing even comes close. These are made SPECIFICALLY for BJJ. Read the other reviews. One recommendation: Buy TWO and protect both your knees. Trust me on this. Your body will thank you later. Thank you Anaconda FW!!
CChristopher G.
I absolutely love these
This is the second pair I’ve purchased. I won’t train without them. Knee injuries have been a nuisance for me for a long time and these braces give me the confidence to roll hard. Also, the stability is unmatched to any other knee support I’ve ever used. There is absolutely no sacrifice in mobility either. I can’t say enough great things about these.
NNicholas J.
Knee Braces
I had the previous design with out the knee pad, had an XL. The fabric was thinner and seem way tighter. This new design is WAY better. Still ordered the XL. The brace has thicker fabric and the XL seem to be made a little bigger. Only issue I am having is one of the braces, after about 4 uses, the soft felt seems to have formed a little tear in it.
WWilliam S.

Anaconda customer service is great. I bought the wrong size, my fault, Anaconda customer service got me squared away with a return, and the knee brace is awesome. Comfortable, fits properly, does not slide around or pinch. The support is confidence building, gives me added structure to my footing with proper balance and comfort. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
VVergil W.
Amazing Product
The shipment arrived early. The sleeve is nice any tight. I had my first roll with the knee brace this morning. It was phenomenal! I had a LCL injury couple weeks ago, and the brace gave me really great support and protection, and all my friends at the academy were very surprised, as I was like rolling with a new knee through out the whole morning.
SSteven H.
Top of the line knee brace
I love these knee braces. I am 45 years old and I don’t have an ACL in my left knee. When I wear my anaconda knee brace, I feel confident. The compression, padding, and overall coverage of the size of the brace gives me a piece of mind on heavy roll days. I recommend the anaconda knee braces to any jui jitsu practitioner who has compromised knees.
JJuan H.
Great knee brace with excellent customer service
I’ve been using the Anaconda Knee Brace, and it’s been fantastic. The compression is spot on, and it’s super comfortable to wear during rolls. I had a minor issue with the product, but their customer service team was quick to step in and resolve it without any hassle. Overall, it’s a great product backed by a great company. I highly recommend it!
GGrant S.
Worth it.
First knee brace I’ve tried (of many) that lived up to the hype. I was concerned when I put it on that it wouldn’t be effective due to the fact it didn’t feel like I was wearing it once the rolls started. Not only did it hold the joint together but cushioned the impacts while allowing full range of motion. Hasn’t slid down once. Highly recommend.
KKristen S.
Back for more !
I thought at fifty years old my days of kneeling after years of knee abuse and five surgeries between both knees. Immediately I felt a security of knee protection and mobility I have never completely felt with other products. Now I'm walking stable and if need be shoot for a takedown without out my knees locking or buckling on me. Life changing

I just got the knee brace, and I LOVE IT! I’ve had a bad knee for 5 years now and I’ve tried dozens of knee braces and this one is the best by far! Doesn’t slip, keeps my knees stable and my rolling session are pain free. 100% would recommend. A couple of guys in my gym have it as well and they all think the same. Great job Anaconda fightwear!

Absolutely Amazing!
Amazing brace! My fiance recently tore his ACL and meniscus (During Jiu Jitsu) and is awaiting surgery in the next 2 months. This brace has allowed him to continue to walk around and function normally until surgery is scheduled. He wouldn't be able to walk comfortably without it. These are the best braces and really do work! Highly recommend!

Great Brace
I’ve had right knee issues for the last few years and have tried many different knee braces. After starting my first BJJ class I have an incident that happened which caused some knee pain. My last 4 classes wearing this brace I’ve had zero knee pain. It has exceeded my expectations. It’s still new so only left to find out is how long it last.

10/10 Brace
Fantastic brace! I am post ACL-surgery and a firefighter, so I spend a lot of time going from my knees into standing, as well as crawling around. The shape of the brace works perfectly for all body positions, and is great for weight-lifting. I have recommended this brace to anyone I know who is active and has weakened knees, it really works!

Excellent Products
My husband is a 6"3 SAMOAN MAN. These knee braces are the only ones that don't cut off his blood circulation. If you want a great supporting Brace for the knees I highly recommend this Brace. Being a crabbing fisherman running a deck smashing Crab Pots every 3 minutes back to back These braces dont fall or slip either. Thank You!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wish I had bought them sooner.
I recently tore my LCL and immediately bought a couple braces. Equipped with my braces I was back on the mat two weeks after the injury (time will tell if that was a dumb move...), and only wish that I had bought these braces sooner. I had the first (I believe) version of these and they didn't stick, but these new ones are money. Thank you!

Fear free of my knee exploding for the first time in year
I trained Tuesday night and my gaurds had still not arrived ,they did however arrive Wednesday and I wore them to training straight away as soon as I strapped them up I felt confident and my popping kneecaps felt way more supported and free .I also wear one on my right knee for work and it's also stopped my knee popping out of place so far.

No more pain
I purchased these Knee braces so that they would keep things in my knee together enough to run. After 3 weeks I haven’t been able to run, BUT I haven’t had to ice my knees anymore after walking my 3 miles with the dog. I was not able to do that before. I am going to keep trying run but being pain free is my main goal and I am there already

Great brace
I have a meniscus tear and some bad arthritis. I wanted to give this a try and so far, I like this product, it doesn't slide or slip out of place. The brace provides great support and my knees don't ache. At first, the straps would pinch the back of my knee a little. Progressively the brace broke in and I can't imagine training without it.

10/10
I’m a girls varsity wrestling coach, as well as a jui-jitsu practitioner/competitor, and k9 handler/deputy sheriff. So all year round my knees take a beating. Between muniscus tears, years of the Marine Corps beating my joints up, this brace actually makes my knee feel secure when making pivot moves either demonstrating or live wrestling.

Suffered with knee pain
Suffered for years from contact sports i just started martial arts jiu jitsu and was really struggling i am not saying it has all gone but i went for the stabiliser knee brace and actually love it the support feels amazing and cushioning on the front of the knee is a blessing the price when bought in bundles is amazing highly recommended

Significant improvement
This is the only knee brace I’ve owned that I can say that is truly effective. My first time working out with the it I experienced a significant boost in confidence when balancing on that knee during drills and Hyung (Kata). I’m 61 with severe arthritis in my right knee due to a previous injury. I’m excited to try it skiing this weekend.

Best Knee brace by far!!!
without a doubt the best knee brace ive ever purchased or worn. the straps really help with areas in pain at that time. i switch up how i tie and it becomes what i need when i need it. the knee padding is not too thick but not too thin. I have three now and recommend them to everyone. great customer service when i had a question as well.
DDerrick J.
Save your knees!
I have been training for a little over a month with these anaconda knee braces and they have been great. I wear them for both no gi and gi. They fit comfortably under my gi pants and save my knees when shooting. The knee braces stay up and don’t need to be adjusted during practices. They are also easy to take on and off. Awesome product!
TThomas G.
Best damned knee brace on this planet!
I've had knee braces before and they've all sucked. I might wear it 30 minutes and they just didn't feel supportive. This brace though, this brace took 20 years off of my knee!! The pain was drastically reduced and my knee felt stronger, so rolling wasn't an issue and I was able to continue training as normal. This thing is a lifesaver!

Dude. . . . . total game changer. I work
Dude. . . . . total game changer. I work in a high stress environment that could change from calm to chaos in a second. Ill go from walking to full sprinting to a call. My left knee has had 4 surgeries on it due to ligament damages. Soon as i put it on and start running i feel no pain anymore. You guys have a bombproof product. Love it
JJustin R.
Great product!!
My 15 year old son is using it for wrestling due to a torn ACL that is not a surgical candidate at this time due to continuing to grow. Not only has it provided stability and support. It’s also providing comfort for shots takedowns, etc. highly recommend fits well, does not slide even with wrestlers grabbing on it, good and supportive.
RReed S.
Very good product; I had
Very good product; I had a partial tear in my MCL and roll about 3-4 times a week. My injury kept me off the mat or was very hesitant to do so in fear of fully tearing and needing surgical intervention. Since using the knee brace from Anaconda, I’ve been able to get back to my routine and don’t even think about my knee. It’s that good!
DDan D.
Got the Right sleeve
After purchasing the top rated knee brace. a "donut hole style" with strap. the problem with that style was after 10 to 15 minutes the whole strap gravitated down my leg requiring to continue pull the brace back in place. After struggling for 2 days I gave up and purchased the Anaconda sleeve. No need to keep pulling it back in place.
DDiego J.
Great product. Not just for grappling.
I’ve had knee issues on and off for the last 6 years. I went on a fishing trip last week on really choppy waters and my leg hurt to bend the next morning. I threw on this knee brace and walked around with it all day and by the evening my knee was better and was able to bend it with no problem. Definitely will be ordering another one.
JJake K.
Best Knee Brace
I thoroughly enjoy this knee brace! It is the best that I have used over the years. The only improvement that I can think of right now is for future models to have more points of contact for the Velcro, that way I can tighten the straps more effectively to the support that I desire at any given time. Thank you for this great product.
JJosue L.
Meniscus Tear
I tore my meniscus a while ago doing a throw standing up and it’s super unstable, this is a must have for me now as it allows me to stay on the mats after my injury, and with peace of mind knowing my chances of getting re-injured are extremely lower. I would definitely buy another one to keep as many of these in rotation as possible.
Zzenlmao _.
i LOVED it
i love the knee braces, i do judo and i spun out of a throw and perfect padding protected my knee when normally it would hurt, and the shoulder braces had instant relief but idk if its just how i had adjusted it but it was a little hard to breath when doing runs, but overall great purchase and great customer service thank u so much.
RRicardo L.
You guys are the real deal
I got both the shoulder and knee i had more use for the shoulder due to having micro tears helped heal them faster than without. As for knee its been helping my friend who has a torn mcl until his arrives he ordered the wrong size on accident. I will say you guys are tremendous at helping with resolving size issues top notch service
LLaith S.
Game changer
Excellent in every way. I didn't realize how good these straps were going to be for me because I don't really have knee problems, until I tried them. Since shooting for single and double legs feels now a lot less risky especially because the knee part is padded, my takedown confidence has improved by a lot. Wish I got them earlier.
CCassandra S.
Amazing knee brace!!
I had amost my entire meniscus removed & have tried many other braces just to help me through normal day to day. This brace stays in place & provides excellent support. I was able to mow the yard without having to stop, thank you for making such an amazing product. If you're on the fence don't hesistate this is a great knee brace!!
SSue B.
Very pleased with Anaconda Fightwear
I was so pleased with anaconda Fightwear. My grandson is very much into wrestling and wanted the knee brace. Ordering was easy and the website was very easy to navigate. We had to return oiginal brace because of size so we reordered. Return was made and original credited to my credit card. Very efficient in responding to my emails.
ZZach S.
Best knee brace out there!
After many attempts this knee brace is THE ONLY ONE that would stay in place on my knee. I have large quads (6ft 280lbs) and these braces stay in place during live training maybe only slipping slightly during really hard rounds. I have a bucket handle tear on my lateral meniscus and am still able to train while I wait for surgery.
DDax W.
Great supportive knee brace
I've been plagued with ligament issues my whole life and finding a brace that both provides support and allows movement is always an issue. The anaconda brace seems to fit the bill so far, a smarter man would have taken the initial sale to buy 2, I didn't, so I'll be putting in for another one for my less bad knee right away 🤦🏿
SShane C.
Best Recovery Brace!
This is by far the best recovery brace I’ve owned, and it keeps me on track with my daily workout/running program. Even though I’ve had pain after working out, this helps tremendously, and has kept me on schedule without missing workout days for over a month now. I work out 6 days a week and alternate between running and rowing.

I use this brace for playingLacrosse
I am not a fighter, but I play a lot of sports. I hyper extended my knee and needed a brace that did more than just a knee sleeve. But I wanted something I could play in and didn't have hinges or metal bands or restricted movement. I have to say this is a nice brace and it is pretty comfortable to play in. I play defense so I pivot a lot and side step with offense players. I have full range of movement of my knee with support while going hard on the field. I like that the support straps crisscross behind the knee. I have been using the brace…

8/10 stars - Solid Brace for this volleyball player. Would buy again!
I am bit surprised by this brace, it stays up! But also, the straps being built in??? Genius. I am not using it for contact sports; In fact, I am a volleyball player who just wanted some extra support for my more nimble moments, and a bit of built in padding for pancakes/hard digs on the floor. This knee brace is pretty good. It feels super supportive right out of the bag. I can move in them, with full range of motion, which doesn't matter as much for a volleyball player, but i have had some knee braces that make it hard to move. I love the…

Good support, straps are meh
I’ve used a ton of knee braces and am on the perpetual search for the best one for use during bjj and other activities - if I don’t wear one with good support while rolling, load bearing, or twisting in any way, my knee swells up like a hotdog and I can’t walk for three days. So quality is paramount for me! This brace offers much better support than I expected due to the padded part in the front, and stays pretty well in place. That said, I’m not a huge fan of the strap system on it, and would love to see a different design approach to an…
JJohn P.
Great product
These anaconda knee braces are very very good. I have been playing pickleball for 3 years. I use them for pickleball. I have one meniscus torn in half. I have a torn MCL and my other knee. I need two total knee replacements. So now I'm just buying time until I can get both of the surgeries done. I have used and sampled dozens of knee braces. Most of them don't work at all. I've been going down a little knee brace rabbit hole for the last 3 years. Sampling all different kinds of sleeves and braces. These are the best ones that I have come…

Not just for MMA/BJJ -- great for all martial artists of all kinds!
So far these braces have been very good for me. I'm not using it for BJJ, but I do wushu pretty consistently and have been facing some patellar problems on my right knee for quite some time. I've used other knee sleeves that helped a bit, but ultimately they don't last long. The straps on this really do help! There is some slippage from the top sometimes, but really the support around my patella is what I've been looking for and this has really delivered. I've noticed my knee isn't as sore after classes and during classes the extra support is…

4.5 star review
Before giving a review, I had to 'test' the knee brace in kickboxing, grappling and mma. At first I had my doubts. Both knee braces were delivered like an AliExpress package. Grey plastic and no protection to the package itself. I ordered a size S, which I always have with braces like Zamst and McDavid. The straps are quite short for an anaconda brace, so after having some e-mails with Vincent, the braces were quickly replaced for a size M. Service and contact are good and felt really positive. The delivery (replacement) of the braces did not…

Good braces for the price
I bought these wraps to help my ongoing knee problems I been having, I used to be a huge runner and hiker, and as of the past 4 years been boxing now. My knees got a lot of wear and tear especially since I have a meniscus tear on one and the other knee compensated for my bad one and is now having problems. So far I'm really enjoying these bec8now it ads a bounce to my step and I can practice more footwork with these on, they are great. I will say though maybe it's just a me problem but there's a problem that in the back of my knee, maybe it's…

Great for snowboarding!!
Avid snowboarder here. 51yo... been riding for 35+ years... every year... a lot. Unsurprisingly, my knees are starting to feel the effects of all those shred days. After trying a few different braces, the Anacondas are easily the best! They stay on.. don't slip or move at all.. and my knees feel great at the end of the day. My *only* negative observation is the stiffness of the velcro tabs on the straps. When wrapping the straps and fixing the tabs to the velcro pad above the kneecap, I feel a distinct pinch above my kneecap that makes it seem…

Best knee brace I've had but the velcro isn't durable
These braces are the best I've ever had from a comfort and fit standpoint. The cushion on the knee caps is great, the braces themselves don't slide down your leg while training and they still allow for the necessary level of mobility you need when training. My only gripe with them is that the fuzzy part of the velcro that the straps attach to is not durable at all. The fuzzy part started to rip within a few weeks. However, this highlighted the amazing customer support Anaconda has with the support team replacing it no questions asked. However,…

Decent Knee Brace
Fit: Followed the size chart and measured 21.5" thigh girth, went with Large and fits snug and well. Use: I only train in gi and most of my take downs impact my knee (drop-knee seio, double legs, etc). I don't feel any impact while using the brace. Start of practice, feels good and secure. After 2hr practice, I notice the brace shifts and becomes uncomfortable... Material: The padding feels nice, The strap wraps around the knee and is attached via velcro. I have noticed the velcro ends are getting scrunched up after uses. I'm rating 4-Star due…

Solid Knee Brace for BJJ
I like it. I have 4 of them because I train 5-6 days a week, sometimes multiple times a day, plus I have 2 bad knees. They definitely help. They stay in place reasonably well, almost the best I've seen - but they aren't perfect and do loosen up during class/rolling. The size fit me as advertised (I'm about 238 lbs, larger legs, so I went with the XL's). The padding around the kneecap is ok, but not perfect for my size. Being a bigger guy with already bad knees, I go down hard on those knees and like a bit more padding. That being said, for the…
AAlex M.
Good for impact
It’s great for high impact. I do BJJ and Muay Thai, both have moves involving knee impact, which it really helps with. Only downside is unfortunately it does slip/roll down, despite ordering according to my measurements. I think the issue lies more with these being for people with less fat on their legs, which unfortunately my legs do not fit in to that category. (My thighs are strong but thicc too). I still use it, because it does protect my knees greatly, just annoying that I still have to adjust it while training. But other than that, it’s…

Confidence for my knees
I'm an old bugger that is just starting bjj at 42, but I have a lot of old knee issues from rugby. It's a comfortable knee brace and does provide the support that I am looking for. The stability around the knee allows more confidence to learn, which is something that I am grateful for. The only thing I would ask for would be either the ability to ratchet the brace at the top or more silicon grip going down the inside of the sleeve. Quads into knees are all different shape and it would be nice to be able to customize it a little more.
Kkirby C.
good product
I have knee problem and most common issue I have is that other braces will not stay up and I would have to re-adjust constantly, With the anaconda, it still does not stay up as I would want. Even with the straps, I would have to still re-adjust maybe 60% less than I did with other knee braces. It is not the a "fix all" for me but its so far the best brace that I have tried. FYI- I use this brace 8-9 hours a day for 5 days a week during work. I have heavy duty use for them so please consider that when reading me review.
CCliff W.
Good, but incomplete review
I bought it to compare with another similar brand brace, and cost was reasonable, but it was to check for fit and compression/comfort. I am not a mixed martial artist but rather a 58 yr old hockey player who has stepped back for the summer. So my review is positive, incomplete. I haven’t used it for hockey yet, but working around my house, climbing ladders and doing various chores/ADL’s, it does seem better. I’ll circle back and review it again once I resume hockey in a couple months. Thanks. Cliff

They work, yet bulky behind knees
They work good, the don't slide down like others, they protect the knees as advertised. They are not comfortable, especially when you bend your knee as there are two straps running behind the knee and it causes pain during but not after. But, I have not found any other knee sleeves that protect better and/or that do not slide down. They do work. If you do kicks they can get in the way a bit due to the bulkiness so I don't wear them to my taekwondo class as much as I'd like to for that reason.
MMichael P.
Completely impressed but
As said, on the title, impressed, however, I feel that something else needs to be done in order to prevent role at the top of the knee brace. It’s my fault for being fat, but I am recovering from surgeries before I can get back into shape. I have been in MOBILE for a long time, my suggestion, for large people like myself… A sock sleeve top extension, lined with silicone, non-roll patterns on the inside to slightly adhere to the skin, and one additional elastic strap to go across the top only.
AAlly M.
Amazing brace
This is my second order of the Anaconda knee braces. The support and cushion for BJJ is amazing and have really helped support me post-injury. My ONLY small complaint is that there needs to be more reinforcement around the stabilizers - my first brace ripped through pretty quickly, and I've only had my new one for a few weeks and it's already starting to do the same. If there was more reinforced material around that, these braces would be perfection. As it stands, they are pretty darn close.
LLee Y.
Knee brace - does what it says it will do with 1st class customer service to boot !
The knee brace in as far as it’s design and performance is great and helps stabalise both my ACL reconstructed knee joints reassuringly well however after one use one of the braces rear seams came unstitched after only half hour on a stationary bike in the gym on the upside though I got in touch with Anaconda and with the aid of that e-mail and a few pics it was replaced straight away with a new one - great customer service which gives me peace of mind for the training sessions yet to come
Zzak j.
Decent brace
I recently had a small tear in my acl. Started with a hinge brace. It was good but not good for quick movement and its straps would move all over. This brace stays nice and secure and the gel padding is amazing. Really helps when kneeling down. Only thing is that I wish the straps were a bit shorter so I could make it feel tighter. Im no MMA guy but I do competitive shooting so lots of explosive movement and weird shooting positions. This was a huge help. I do recommend this product.
CCheyenne L.
Buy this knee brace!!!
If I could give this brace 4.5 stars I would! The only reason this brace doesn’t have 5 stars for me is because the top part doesn’t stay up over leggings. That being said, the whole brace doesn’t move even when I wear leggings under it. The straps make it stay put. I’m gonna have to get used to wearing shorts at the gym so the sticky band at the top can do it’s job staying up. I love this brace. I have a lot more confidence rolling and it feels like there’s a spring in my knee.
TTyler S.
Great brace for training
The support the brace provides is by far the best in all knee braces I’ve tried. I have an ACL and meniscus tear and this gives me the support and confidence I need to train without further injury. My only complaint is the material is already starting to fray at the ends of the metal supports. I would understand this happening over time but not after 2-3 weeks of training. They are still secure inside the brace and no metal is exposed but it is slowly compromising the material.
GGabriel L.
Vary good brace for the type and price
I have a currently fully torn ACL and PCL and the brace does help with the knee problems. Especially the knee cap indent to help keep it in alignment. I feel it could be a lil bit longer in overall length but that may make it slide more. But with added length to cover the calf would help as compression with the daily use of swelling. Got a large if seems true to size because I halve large calf muscles but sadly a slightly atrophied quad muscle and is kinda of tight to fit.
AAmanda B.
Comfy and sturdy
Got for my son because he kept injuring his ligaments during wrestling season. He wears them for every sport to help it be more stable. He told me they are comfortable(he's particular about things like that) .and they support him well...only thing I should have ordered M instead of L...couldn't return cuz he wore it(that's when he realized it was too big cuz it slid down) Company offered me 50% off on another order. While appreciated, I dont have money to rebuy...
SSteve R.
The braces are great. Unfortunately I
The braces are great. Unfortunately I may have ordered one size too large i believe because there a bit loose. . . I'm 6'3" 250 lbs and ordered the XXL and should have gone xl surprised the XXL was as big as they were most of the time it would be my size. . Other than that they seem great I have to compensate a bit for the size by strapping them a bit further and folding the added material over itself but once done they are comfortable and deliver good support 👍
CCheryl T.
Good quality
Stays in place and protects the knee as promised. The padding is just right and the material is good quality, the only minor negative thing is the material at the back of the knee which is a bit harsh in my opinion and after two hours wearing the brace the back of my knee starts itching and hurting slightly, perhaps because it is a little too tight with the straps going around as well. But all in all if you need a knee brace for jiujitsu, this is a good option.
JJames P.
I use for recovery after training
I think I use it differently than than how this product has been outlined for use, so take this review with a grain of salt. I don’t have any catastrophic knee injuries just major arthritis. I find rolling with the brace on not a good fit for me. However, if I’m in pain, generally about a hour of just having the brace on, no movement, just compression, my knee has less pain. I’ll continue to use it as a recovery item, but rolling with it on is not for me.
SSadler S.
Knee brace
The brace works great, I had ACL and meniscus surgery 5 months ago, and I was considered about starting Jiu-Jitsu. But so far everything has held up. It doesn't slide down at all and the support it gives is enough for me to feel confident well sparring. Only thing I should have done differently is ordered the size I measured my knee for and a extra one one size smaller, as there is a little bit of extra material that balls up when my knee is bent at 90°.
DDebby B.
It definitely helps to stabilize
It definitely helps to stabilize my knee. However, it irritates the back of my knee. It feels like it is to tight but the rest of the brace fits well. That being said, it is not so uncomfortable that I can't wear it. I'm not sure about going up a size, I would be afraid the thigh area would be to big and not stay in place. Even with this issue I would recommend the brace. It has been the best knee brace I have purchased and stays in place.
AAdam W.
Good product should have got smaller size
I ordered due to suffering a MCL tear and wanted a quality product to help with my rehabilitation. Unfortunately I got a size medium which is to big. I was going to get small but got this size following the size guide provided. I would have returned it but I'd worn it twice so couldn't send it back. Still giving 4star because think the product is a quality product and it's just unfortunate I can use it to it's fullest potential.
SSamuel C.
My only issue with the
My only issue with the brace is that it moves a little bit when in use. For the sizes available I have the one that fits me the best as the medium is too small and the large is a touch too big. A size inbetween would be perfect. When using a gi while training bjj I have to go to the locker room between rounds to take off my gi pants to adjust the brace between rounds. I suppose it's a small price to pay for healthy knees.
CChris W.
Really good. Not quite perfect.
Overall fit and support are great! Only complaint is that if you aren’t careful when removing them, the stabilizer bands will tear through the outside layer of material, making them a potential danger to your training partners. I’ve found that if you grasp the brace by the stabilizers at the bottom and pull down that way, it puts less pressure on the material. Hopefully with that tactic, they will last a while.
CChristopher J.
Does what they claim to do but....
The braces feel amazing, the patella pad is great extra protection, especially my being an ultra heavy older grappler. However the Velcro tabs are so light, I had to reattach them after every roll, so I don't see then lasting. I would definitely suggest a more heavy duty Velcro with more grip to it. I've read reviews on Facebook where people have taped them down, but isn't it better if they worked correctly?
PPhilip S.
works well but wrong sizing
I followed the measuring instructions and still ordered on the conservative end by ordering a size down. The sleeve is too big and slips during class. unfortunately, I wasn't able test this prior to the 30 day return window as i was out with injury. most likely will reorder a smaller size (probably 2 sizes lower) as even with the larger size U have now, I do feel significantly more stable through the knee.
PPaul C.
Amazed at the moment
Im giving these a good review because i just recieved my braces an hour ago. I have torn mcl in both knees, and damaged meniscus in both. I am a tiler and flooring installer. Ive been in agony for the last 5 years. Mcl's wont heal , nor will the meniscus. I cant believe it , but my pain pretty much 80% disappeared. Im blown away. That being said its all very new so we will see how the next week goes.
DDean H.
measure your legs twice. . . .
They work great but. . . . I followed the measurements on their website and ordered the XL size. They arrived and I immediately realised I should have ordered the L. They weren't as "tight" on my legs as they needed to be but the elastric straps help keep them in place for the most part. I'll have to wait for th next sale to order some more and see if anyone at my gym wants the XL ones I now have.
TToni P.
Ok for pain, minimal support
I would start by saying i dont feel this brace provides adequate support to be classed as a knee brace, they're more of a knee sleeve/support. Knee support straps were sized a little large so whilst they were good for reducing pain, and extremely comfortable (you can completely forget theyre there will full range of movement), they dont have enough compression provide structural support or assistance with providing correct tracking of the joint. Straps appear to be more for the purpose of helping to keep the support in place. Good option for…
KKurtis G.
Size matters
A heavyweight ufc fighter recommended large as a size for larger individuals. I figured id be a medium considering I’m 145 and 5’6”. Unfortunately it’s pretty tight and pinches in the back where the bands cross. I kept it in hopes it would stretch out a little unfortunately two weeks or so wearing almost every day and it’s still pretty tight. Other than the size issue it is a very well designed product and does all things it’s advertised to do would definitely recommend and buy more just would have to get a different size
TTyson R.
Better than most... Still needs work
It initially fits the best of any knee brace I have tried. Sadly after an hour or so it starts to slide. Sometimes it takes less time than then. The straps work great as they hold the bottom in place but the knee section then just bunches up and the top part continues to come down. I have tried adjusting the straps many ways and found no solution. The straps also tend to dig in or irritate the inside/back of my knee. I got the largest size available but maybe my legs are still just to big.
MMelvin W.
Mel's response
I actually like the original design more because the knee cup was more profound and the material it was made out of is smoother. It also stayed up for longer periods of time. This current model slides down pretty quickly. . . I'm thinking that I should have purchased the ones with the side brackets. Thanks, Melvin Williams.
JJoel G.
Too big!
I used their measurements and it said I should get size large, they were too big. I got the medium, which fit right until I used them. They get stretched out during use, so lose some support around the knee. I should of got two sizes smaller then my actual measurements. The knee pads are a nice feature.

It seems ok, sizing seems off
I measured my leg exactly as described and ordered the appropriate size. It fits tight enough to stay on, but the only compression effect I get is from the bands. This causes the material to slide and bunch up when rolling. Wish I had sized down.

Great product
I love the design. I just wish I would have known to ordered a smaller size. I ordered based off the size chart but while training the knee brace seems to travel up on my leg. It still works great I just find my self consistently adjusting it.

Definitely a good quality brace
Definitely a good quality brace however I fit the dimensions for a medium but my set were unfortunately much too big so not really giving any support, considering ordering another as a small but keep in mind perhaps ordering a size down

Good product ….
So I am a very petite person and knew I knew I was right on the bottom end of the sizing. I really wanted it to work for me. If a smaller size was available I have no doubt that it would provide the support I need.

More support
The product is great, but I think need a little more rigit support around the the cap. Is perfect for shots, but when you stand up after the shot, I don't fill that area with great support to help me standing.

Out Of Stock
I was looking forward to trying this product after ordering a set. Several days after ordering, I was informed that they were not in stock and they had no idea when they would be back in stock. If the product wasn't available then why was I able to order it and why did it take so long for them to let me know?To be clear, this is not a review of the product itself but rather the disappointing lack of stock and unknown timeline on restocking. I'm still interested in trying the brace as it looks like a good design but I'm unwilling to reorder…

Not comfortable at all
Although the quality of the product is amazing… it’s just not a good for a small framed females (I am 5’4 128lbs). I ordered a small as per the size chart and they were too big. Sent back (which I paid for shipping) and they sent me a xsmall (pretty quickly). The xs still bunches up around the knee cap and slides down my leg when sparring. They are too tight around my upper and lower leg. As per their policy I will not receive a refund or credit (which is disappointing but I understand). I would say do not purchase if you have smaller knees.…

Size guide really poor
According to the size guide, I should fit an L well. However, L was way too big, so I ordered a set of M which during rolls were loose around the knee and I kept having to adjust them. With shipping/return fees and the general hassle of returning, this was really not worth it.

No email back
Knee brace seems fine but I unfortunately ordered a size too small. Their policy says 30 days guarantee but after I emailed the company to exchange for a larger size within the 30 days I never received an email back weeks after. Two stars for bad customer service.

Just ok
They help when the stay in place. If I’m wearing leggings for no gi they don’t make it past warm up before the slide down.

Got me through my black belt
I’ve been training for my black belt in taekwondo, and about 4 months ago tore up my knee. I tried 3 or 4 of the “recommended” sleeve-type braces to keep me going, and nothing prevented things from getting worse. I finally sprung for an Anaconda brace and within two sessions my stability was way better, I could perform all of the techniques that had become too difficult or dangerous, with confidence, and I wasn’t coming home hurt. Fast forward a couple of months and I got my black belt, all without having to break for knee problems. The…

Products haven't shown up yet. I understand shipping isn’t your issue but it definitely reflects on your company. I would suggest using a different provider with better transparency.
