So much was so wrong in this clip...unbelievable.
Thank you, Henry.

Thanks Luca,
I've worn similar types but the material on the back of the knee always seems to bunch up and dig into the back of the joint in seiza and cut off the blood, :(
I'm 60 now and can't kneel for long in seiza. I heard about kendo knee pads but they seem to be a secret. Ordinary knee pads cut off the circulation or interfere with the kneeling position.
