      When a guy doesn't wear any knee sleeves, get a look at his knees. If there's no hair watch your legs, he shoots both sides and isn't scared of mat burn. If there's hair, stay out of upper body, he's a thrower and isn't worried about mat burn at all.

    None of this matters in the long run. Never underestimate your opponent. Some months ago I was in a high school wrestling tournament, and, even though I was holding up, the guy was slightly better than me. During the second period, after a short scramble, he put me on my back, but I managed to roll him over to his back, immediately after he did that too, but the momentum helped me roll him on his back, I ran my feet towards his head, and I secured the pin, almost out of the mat

    In defense of double kneepads, some people (myself included) really do need them. I would shot leading with either leg and the issue wasn't the mat burn. The problem was the impact. I had chronic runner's knee for years before I even stepped on the mat, then after just the first month of practices I could shoot more than a handful of times without immense pain. While I could have just focused on one side during a match, that was a no-go during practice since we all had to drill with both legs.
