Thanks, there is some great stuff out there. My knees are bad anyway and a good knee pad is probably worth the money in the long run. Is anyone using a knee pad/shin pad combo? How well can you move?

Our school has three seperate drills calling them "lock-flows" where it's a series of hand, arm, head locks and counters to those locks. Each drill has 8 or 9 moves. It's a great drill and like any other the more you work it the less you have to think about the counter when someone tries to put you into a lock. Unfortunately went I first started training I tried to find reference videos on youtube and couldn't so I think it's pretty unique drill we do.

I am also about the same size and wear a 5. You could also go to an online store and select the uniform you are interested in because some sites gives you a sizing chart for your height, weight and waste size.

I've been taking shots to my knees lately while sparring and was wondering if anyone uses knee pads and if so which ones they think are the best. I don't want big and bulky, I was hoping to find a pair that are light and mobile for just a little extra protection.
