and I don't mean GEAR....

I mean kneepads and grappling shorts etc.

I made the mistake in believing that the massive decathalon sports near Canada Water would have something... but alas..

Does anyone know a decent martial arts supply store in London where I could get kneepads?

Thanks in advance,

Robert Bentley

Rob - did you try looking for volleyball pads instead of wrestling ones?

I should've been more clear - I want to find a place that I can visit (not online). JSho - Hopefully I'll be able to make it sometime in the next week.

Sir Taps - thanks for that suggestion, are they basically the same thing?

No - I don't have a credit card, I need it quite quickly and I would prefer to see it before I put the money down for it. I've never bought or worn knee-pads and this is a gift I'm getting for my wife.

Rob - Yeah, pretty similar, but volleyball ones tend to be a bit bulkier and less expensive. I have a couple of pairs very similar to the ones in the link below, they've lasted me for over 3 years and they're still as good as new. I wear them for both gi and no gi, they stay in place well and I chuck them in the washing machine along with the rest of my kit with no problems.

Would be surprised if Decathlon didn't have anything similar - it has stuff for pretty much every sport under the sun.
