If you wrestle long enough your knees will be so calloused that you won't need the knee pads anymore LOL.
Wrestling knee pads were made to prevent mat burn on the knees, not for protection. if you want to prevent staph get anti-bacterial soap and wash your cuts and scrapes every night. you can also get Defense wipes and take them with you to the gym so you can clean them immediately after training. they are good if you have a long drive home after.
But seriously you guys should see my toes and knees they are like gator skin LOL

I hope you do as well. Make sure you wear a rash guard and be prepared to have a very, very sore neck. The JJ Gi is a hard collar and used in a lot of cranks, cutters and chokes. You'll find it moving along your neck a lot, so don't be surprised if you get some rash there.
Listen to everything in the Gi class, because it's the true foundation of what No-Gi really is... and don't forget to have fun!

My neck already gets cranked all the time from noobs who realize that they cant finish someone with the guilitine when they are in half guard. Or the noobs who just crank for no reason.....I just find myself tapping just to continue.
I am having a heck of a time stregthing my neck so this shyt stops, I can barely squat over 250 lbs with out my neck poping. I cant shrug 315 lbs anymore with out my neck hurting for 4 days. Any advice on that?

I was more referring to the actual collar of the Gi rubbing against your neck. You'll have all kinds of burns and scrapes because of it.
What do you mean "popping" when you squat? Can you describe in further detail?

the same pop that it makes when ever some stupid wrestler neck cranks me! It will pop if I do not submit to someone's half attempt of a can opener. Now whenever i lift weights, my neck will pop in the same spot and I am out of both gyms for 2 days least! My coach Red Schafer gave me some wrestling exercises to start stregthing my neck, but they dont work.

If you have a partner, get on your knees and have them stand behind you. Move your head forward till your chin touches your chest. While you do this have the person behind you provide resistance. Do it to the left and right and to the back too. Have the person provide more and more resistance so you can build up your neck slowly.

I will try tonight....
I had my first gi class last night. My instructor is a brown belt under Comprido.(coach for Brock Lesnar) We had one blue belt in the class last night. I think he is up here with Alan Belcher. Anyways, 1 blue belt, and about 16 white belts. I caught on real quick. Gi is a little more difficult because of people grabbing you and holding. We worked on the butterfly guard drills which I knew already, but made it easier to move around there guard because you could hold the bottom of there pants and take side control. Pretty cool! I guess I am digging it right now!

LMAO, we had some guy over the summer come in. He was tall, about 6"5 about 230 lbs. Put together, muscular but lean. As a beginner, he came in there hitting pads as hard as he could, talking shyt to our golden gloves boxing coach on how to throw a punch. I was amazed on how disrespectful he was to our coach. Our coach was gonna lay him out it looked like. Wild as a bull seeing red while in BJJ. I hate those type of guys who need to prove something.
How bout those guys in the gym that go 100% while sparring? Apparently the guy never heard of if you break your toys, you wont be able to use them anymore. Well unfortunately, one day he was sparring with one of the ladies there. It is co-ed, but we take it down a notch when sparring with the ladies. This guy head kicks this lady and breaks her nose. He was banned from our gym and was lucky enough that Duke Roufus was cornering Red that weekend at a UFC event. Duke has a policy that if you hurt someone in a foolish way, you have to go in the ring full contact with him for 5 minutes or lose membership. If you are a smaller guy under 170lbs, he lets one of the pros there size get after them. I tell you what, it is brutal man. The difference between a pro and an ammy in a live fight is night and day. Holy cow!

It reminds me of gym that I went to that had the exact opposite situation. Instead of helping by showing you technique or giving you advice, they beat on you so you know they are better than you. I have been to quite a few gyms and I know some work you harder than others on your first day to see where you stand, but this gym I walked into, I was there with another new guy who I didn't know, he walked out 1/2 way through the class with a black eye and I am pretty sure his nose was broken too. It was almost like they didn't want anybody new to train with them.

That is exactly why I don't train at that place either. I was in there once and that is all. I have talked to other people in my area and most have had similar experiences.

The rule at our gym for sparring is hit as hard as you want to get hit. We had a guy come in frm California about a month ago (he was visiting) Leben let him train with the fight team. he was about 185-190 pounds and he started sparring balls out with one of our smaller guys (about 140) He ends up knocking the small guy out. Next round he had to go with Chris. Leben didn't go 100% but pretty close, but he dropped they guy repeatedly, needless to say the guy didn't make it the whole round and he never came back.
