Martial Arts Australia is a training ground for those who want to practice martial arts. But what if you have bad knees? Can you still do martial arts with bad knees?
The short answer is yes, but with some modifications and restrictions. If your knee condition does not limit your range of motion or cause pain when the joint is bent, then it may be possible to participate in martial arts, albeit in a limited capacity. Depending on the severity of the injury, there are several steps that should be taken to ensure safety while continuing to train in martial arts.
For starters, wearing good quality protective gear such as padded shorts or knee sleeves can help protect your joints from further damage during sparring sessions. Working with an experienced instructor will also ensure that you are using proper form and performing exercises safely without putting too much strain on your knees.
