Mats for home training?

[WindsorMAGuy28]

Can anyone recommend mats for home use for grappling, throws, etc?

I get mats from Asain World of Martial Arts. With a wholesale account I get a decent 40" x 40" mat for only $15.95 each.

Are these mats designed for grappling or for throws?

Well considering my weight lol. The mats are good and in good shape. They a little under one inch in width. They are two colors and interlock with each other to make them useful for making bigger mats.

Hi Mark,

Wow, those mats look kinda thin for sustained ukemi? But they look like decent grappling or high school wrestling mats.

Thanks!

Patrick,

I have these mats at home in my basement in direct contact with the concrete floor. They aren't as nice as having expensive tatami but they do the trick. So far no injuries or complaints though I can't say they are the most comfortable when one is thrown hard onto them.

The only downside to getting the mats from AWAM is that you need to tack on about $5 each for shipping. Also, these mats (at least in parts of NY) don't meet the firecode if you want to use them in a business.

Hello all,

A good mat for both home and school is manufactured by Crown Gym Mats in Barrington, IL

They make wrestling mats for use around the country. Many good sizes for home use. I buy 6'x12' they are 2" thick and will take almost any fall.
