Differences Among Textures of Martial Arts Mats

martial arts matting textures

Martial arts mats are available in different surface textures. The range of textures include mats that have a tatami surface which is great for MMA, BJJ, grappling, and martial arts styles where ground competition is the primary use. The tatami surface texture on our 1 5/8 inch grappling MMA mats is designed to alleviate ''rug burns'' from the flooring.

For sports with more striking and spinning involved, such as Karate, we recommend a smooth surface as featured on our one inch Karate Mats. This is a durable and agile surface that can accommodate both barefoot and soft shoe use. These martial arts mats are also ideal for Taekwondo.

If the flooring needs to be able to withstand combat training with shoes or boots, Greatmats recommend the more durable MArtial Arts Pro Sport 7/8 Inch flooring.This product is ideal for boxing as well as aerobics and general cardio training. The surface texture on this mat is a thatch design and is very scuff and scratch resistant.
