Knee Pads

[antimoron]

Hmm,I knew a girl ....nevermind.Its the front page .But we used to do something similar practicing verts and bailing on a half pipe.Maximizes flexibility,crouching in tight spots when you really needed it.

Were you on your knees?

Yeh,basically you would just strap them on and almost do squats of sorts.Crawl or 'walk' on the knees.Takes your feet out of the picture and I think it helped improve balance,flexibility as your more top heavy in a kneeling position mostly,if that makes any sense?Also,when they were new,they could kill if not worn in a bit .

Ive seen a muaythai fighter does this type of training somewhere in thailand before. They told me its for balance and to strenghten the knee area which basically what they use in kickboxing.
