Martial Arts Mats Q&A

Why does foam thickness and density matter for martial arts surfaces?

The best thickness and density for your mats depends on the planned use case. With a greater density in the mats, you receive a higher level of resistance for making quick moves. Thicker mats tend to deliver a greater level of cushioning.

What is the difference between tatami texture and smooth texture surfaces?

Tatami dojo mats have a surface texture that delivers better footing during ground workouts, often appearing in grappling, MMA, and BJJ workouts. Leather textured martial arts flooring systems are highly durable and work nicely for use with bare feet.

What size mats are used for martial arts training at home?

Training mats for martial arts at home typically are 2x2 feet. This is an easy size of puzzle mat to manage for installations you’re doing yourself. For a larger space, consider 1x1 meter mats that cover the area faster.

What are the best martial arts mats to use for a martial arts competition?

It’s important for competition sparring mats to include the right padding, thickness, and size. Consider using different colors of interlocking puzzle mats to designate warm-up and competition areas. Greatmats offers high-quality mats that are ideal for competitions.
