Tatami is a texture that resembles a common flooring used in Japanese style rooms or Japanese homes of long ago. In martial arts, a tatami texture mat has a surface texture that resembles or mimics the look and feel of this type of flooring, which is made of thin, long strands of straw.
A tatami surface texture is perfect for grappling, MMA, BJJ, and martial arts styles focusing on ground competition.

The mats also absorb shock from falls and tumbles in home or studio settings and have a 4-foot ASTM fall height rating. These grappling mats are firm enough for stand-up techniques, and their tight-fitting interlocks will not separate - even in the most intense scenarios. There are 4 border strips included per tile.
The mats are mold, mildew, and rot-resistant, and they are waterproof for easy cleaning and disinfecting. If a spill or excess sweat or moisture is present, simply wipe the mats with a dry towel and disinfect them.
