Looks ok does it look good to roll onI've had these exact mats in my dojo for two years, we've trained plenty rough on them. They are very thin and the landings will be pretty harsh on these things, so be prepared for a rough time on them especially for beginner students. They're only like a 1/2 inch thick, but they are decent mats to practice on..... you will need a wooden edging to keep them in place as well all the way around the out side edges. Well worth the price in cost though. Mine have been through pure hell and still holding up just fine. Some double sided sticky tape under each mat on the floor will also help keep them in place. They will tear up if they move around alot.If you're going to be doing martial arts on it then you're going to want something a lot thicker. Why not just train on the ground? It's soft and it's free! If you don't like this, then you may want something more like this http://www.greatmats.com/products/martia... .No, i doubt it. They might be more of a stand-up mat than grappling mat.
Especially with takedowns, because that would hurt. You'd land on the thin mat and it would be the same as landing on the floor. Not good for your back. :(These mats are very cheap knockoffs of the puzzle mats sold for martial arts. I bought some for my basement dojo and they tore up, had little cushion and we could not do takedowns or throws on them at all without severe injury. When I moved my school to a retail location I purchased multi use martial arts mats from Zebra Mats and I am very glad I did. We can do full Judo throws as well as stand up Kumite on them with takedowns. I would suggest that you don't waste your money on these junk mats.
Also a friend of mine bought them to do his dojo about a year ago after I told him not to and he ended up throwing them out about four months ago because they would not hold together and they had a few injuries in classes when they were training for the Full Contact Fight Series MMA event in Fort Wayne. Save your pennies.
For a good, cheap surface for throwing you can purchase mericel mats online in rolls. We have them for demos and they are great! Yeah, they're called puzzle mats. A lot of Grappling clubs use them.
They are very well made, not too hard and not too soft. I train on
them a lot at my Brazilian Jiu jitsu club.I don't know about takedowns, as they're much too thin to really have much shock-absorption capability, but they'd be fine to roll on.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
