I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40. The differnce with and withoutPads are huge on the mat. I have not wore pads under my gi so I can't speak to if they will hang on the cotton or not. I would guess they will be fine under gi. I know without the gi my shots are twice as fast with the pads and my knees are very happy. They are not as bulky as they look in the picture. I have 3 of my wrestlers wearing these and they love them. Measure your knee and get the right size. If you are borderline go for the smaller size. I think they have an extra small. If they are too big they will slide around. That is useless to you. Good luck and happy knees. I am in bjj and have wrestled all my life. I am 40.

Not at all. I am a dude standing 5'8" and 140 lbs, but with very skinny girl legs. I use the small size and they are very tight on my leg.

I guess you´d have to get small size. Mine fit pretty well and worked great for bjj. Good luck!

I have read that someone is 5'7" and that she like them. I am 5'11" and they work great for me. I dont see an issue with your height using them.

PJ and M Search answered this the same as I would. If they go on like a pair of sock, probably too big. They are very comfortable, so you aren't going to feel pinched or restricted. They are inexpensive, so I would try the next size down.

I have 16" knees and the large fit me well. I'd suggest you get an XL if they are available. RE: padding - I am almost 50 and I hit the floor a lot and I think these knee pads provide adequate protection. Maybe if you hit really hard you would need a bigger pad but I find these work well for me.

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. Good luck!

I'm not a petite woman, but yes, you should not have any problem grasping these. Mostly, you lay the pad of your hands on the top and loosly grasp with your fingers. They are so stable that I could do pushups without grasping them at all with my fingers. They are tacky and don't move, and I use them on a concrete floor.

My hands are on the small side and they fit me. I'm actually thinking about returning mine because I didn't end up needing the, for my kickboxing class (the instructor changed the format).. I'll sell you mine if you're interested. catscho[at] hotmail

I am 5'-7" and I use A2. Look at different brands and they will show a chart for height and weight. Try Fuji, good quality Gi's that don't shrink

I think the small would fit you fine. A lot of women in my TKD club have smalls and wear size 8's in women's. Typically the guard will stretch out a bit.

Not if you are an aggressive player. My daughter is an aggressive freshman player & they didn't last one week. The material tears easily & that will expose the foam inside. I say,save your money. The only decent pair we've ever bought were Nike brand knee pads.

As the other person said, they probably are too big for you. I do not walk or run with them, just do floor and sitting exercises, and they move around some even if I tighten them as much as possible.

Honestly you might try youth pads bc these could be too low on your calves. I'm 5'4.5" and youth xl's fit me great.

I am 5.8 155 lbs. it fit perfect. But!! If you plan on landing on your knees don't get them. I had real bad knee pain. I had to get ones with more padding. I am 36 now. So maybe thats why. But im still very active

I found them to be very snug so I think they would work for most women and some men. However, if anyone weighs more than 175 I would think they would be tight. Hope this helps.

Well , I'm a woman and j have pretty smallWrist and they fit me just fine . They Velcro allows you to pull them pretty tight . These are actually te best weights I've ever owned and plan on buying the heavier set .

They'll fit big. They are meant for an adult. I couldn't find gear to fit my daughter - but she's 7 and I think she'll love them!

I am 5'4" and 110 pounds with shortish legs. I got the smallest size and they fit me almost perfectly, just a half inch long. There's enough room in the waist that I think they would fit you fine that way. The zip off part is just above my knee. You may have get them shortened a few inches, but they should fit okay.
