7/8" Martial Arts Mat Reviews

Very helpful reps. I needed mats for a wood laminate garage floor. Mats used to practice Jiu Jitsu with a grappling dummy. Shipped quick. Mats were put together easily. I had looked at other mats on Amazon and ebay, good thing I spoke to the rep, the square footage of the mats and their total dimensions when put together are completely different. I had a pretty precise area to cover and these mats can be ordered to fit those dimensions compared to the sets I found elsewhere. 7/8″ was perfect for my needs.

We installed a 3x4 (9' x 12') section of these martial art mats in our basement, directly over the polished concrete floor. The adults of the family use them to practice taekwondo. The mats are firm, yet provide substantial protection against jumps, falls, and other martial arts activities, even directly over the concrete. My only concern with the mats is that the surface is smooth and rather low-friction. This has caused minor problems with feet slipping, and major problems with the whole mat shifting when landing a jump kick, or similar activates. To address the mat shifting, we needed to add a high-end carper holder type mesh under the mat to prevent it from shifting and moving. A fair amount of double-sided tape might also work. I'm hoping the top surface will prove less slick as the mats wear a bit. Overall, I'm very happy with the protection provided by the mats, and was able to work out a solution, but wish the surface of the mats had a bit more texture and friction.

These tiles are perfect for me and excellent for probably any martial art. I am a Combat Hapkido guy myself and I love it. Grand Master Pellegrini himself would like these I'm sure.
