I just did a competition this weekend where myself and my team kicked some major ass. However, my 2nd opponent was really strong and had an incredible base. I ended up in lockdown and swept him using a modified old school sweep. Towards the end of the match, he ended up in my lockdown again. This time he almost slipped out. I only wear shorts and a t-shirt when I compete. I generally don't have trouble keeping my opponents in my lockdown, but this time it was really close. He almost slipped out, and I was ahead by only 2 points. What are you guys wearing? Anybody combining things together?

I have used the leg tights twice in competition. Its helps but you should use em all the time in training to make sure your are adjusted because its a different type of grip when you have your legs around their rashG. I am guessing that ankle sleeves and thin but strong knee sleeves to soften knee landings will be the best for me. Those are both on my list of things to buy. Haven't seen any good ones in the stores.

Spent about 20 bucks at a local sporting goods store for some basic compression ankle sleeves and it was a great purchase. Helps with lockdown for sure, also minimizes trauma to the shins. Also handy for rubber guard in securing your ankle with your wrist.
