To train in BJJ my friend and I are using gym mats to grapple on. However, since I have begun my training I have had a peculiar vulnerability to getting carpet or rug burns, especially around the knees and ankles. These burns are so annoying. They don't hurt badly, but are really annoying.

I suspect my ankles are caused by my feet going off the mats onto the carpet when grappling. But what about my knees (we are grappling from our knees until we learn take downs).

Any suggestions on how to deal with this annoying hindrance to training?

Buy some wrestling knee pads and some simple ankle supports. That's what I would do.

Do you mean ankle supports as the equivalent of wrist wraps used to support the wrists in boxing?
