Martial arts tatami

Practicing martial arts poses a certain health risk associated with falls and impacts on the floor. Therefore, the halls where martial arts classes are held are always equipped with a soft surface. Heavy and not very soft mats are often used for this purpose. They are replaced by tatami, which is considered the best choice for practicing various types of martial arts.

Tatami or, as it is also called, budo mat is a type of soft floor covering. Its homeland is considered to be Japan, where it used to be used to cover the floor in residential buildings. Now tatami has become an integral component in gyms. This soft flooring can be seen in martial arts classes and gymnastics or acrobatics training. Aikido, judo, kickboxing, kung fu, jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, sambo and other types of fighting become safer thanks to this equipment.

Why is tatami more comfortable and safer than other gym flooring?

This Japanese invention has many advantages that provide the best conditions for practicing martial arts:

• Both sides have a non-slip texture. Special notches on the mats provide a reliable grip on the feet of athletes.
• have low thermal conductivity and create a "warm floor" effect;
• have high wear resistance;
• Excellent cushioning helps to soften impacts during falls;
• reliable dovetail fastening eliminates the formation of gaps between the mats;
• easy to assemble and disassemble;
• made of environmentally friendly hypoallergenic EVA material;
• quick and easy to clean;
• do not absorb moisture;
• no pungent odor.

What characteristics should I look for when choosing a tatami?

When buying a sports flooring, you should pay attention to the density, composition, fasteners, and smell of the budo mat.

• Density The lower it is, the faster the mats will sag and need to be replaced. The higher the density, and we have 110 kg/m3, the longer they will last and a small difference in price will help you avoid repeated expenses in the near future.
• Composition. Some manufacturers use recycled raw materials, which affects the quality of the product not for the better. EVA-line uses European raw materials, and each component has all the necessary certificates and hygienic conclusions. Therefore, by purchasing from us, you are guaranteed to receive environmentally friendly material that will not harm your health and the health of your children.
• Fasteners.A special dovetail fastener around the perimeter of the mat allows you to assemble EVA-line coverings of any size. A high-quality connection eliminates the formation of gaps between the mats.
• Odor. Tatami made of EVA material is odorless. Comfort during training also depends on this criterion.
