Karate mats are among the most versatile of all martial arts mats. Not only are they used for karate practice and competition, but they are also great for individual workouts. They can be used in the home or commercial dojo settings, and they serve to protect the athlete from injury and fatigue.
Mats are a key element in training in all types of Karate, as a traditional floor will not provide the same level of protection desired when practicing martial art techniques. Greatmats carries the best selection of karate mats for sale, with different lengths, thicknesses, and systems to choose from.
Premium Martial Arts Karate Mat
The Premium Martial Arts Karate Mat is a 1-inch thick puzzle mat that is 3.28 x 3.28 feet in size. Each mat weighs 8 pounds.
This martial arts mat is made of high-density EVA foam, and it is an excellent choice for someone looking for durable and versatile interlocking style matting. The 1-inch thickness provides ample padding, and the smooth surface finish accommodates bare feet or soft shoes.
It also allows for quick, intense, and expressive movements practiced in martial arts disciplines and various workouts. It also provides stability for exercises like yoga, Jazzercise, or Zumba.
These karate mats are fast and easy to install with their interlocking design, and the closed-cell foam prevents moisture absorption, odor, mildew, and mold. They are durable and double-sided, attractive, and low maintenance. Each mat costs just under $24, which equates to less than $2 per square foot.
Jiu Jitsu Interlocking Mats
Jiu Jitsu Interlocking Mats is another great puzzle style option. These mats are 1-1/4 inch thick and are 1x1 meter.
They are also slightly lighter than the Premium Karate mats, weighing just over 7 pounds each and covering about 10 square feet - making them an excellent option if you want ease of portability and storage.
These martial arts mats are lead free and latex free and made of EVA foam. They are reversible and double colored and provide a nice, cushioned, floating surface over a hard concrete, wood, or tile floor.
With tight-fitting interlocks, the tiles are versatile, durable, and affordable. They are designed to be used with bare feet. Priced at just about $24 per tile or roughly $2.25 per square foot, these mats are very economical, yet top-notch.
Roll Out Karate Mats
Roll Out Karate Mats are popular as well. These are 1.25 inches thick, and 6 feet wide. They are available in any length over 18 linear feet, so this is perfect if you’re looking for a custom size.
They are also great to be able to just roll them out, use them, and roll them back up for easy storage. These martial arts mats feature a 24 oz. vinyl top in either smooth or tatami surface and work well for karate, as well as MMA, BJJ, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, grappling, and TKD.
