Is your martial arts school offering the best environment for your students? Or could you improve the surface they practice on? Many schools are using soft polyurethane foam mats, which can lead to twisted ankles and unsure footing.

As you know, having a firm footing and confidence in the mat beneath your feet is essential to doing well in martial arts. The flooring needs to disappear from the mind. The firmness of Interlocking foam mats provides comfort and ease of mind so your students can concentrate on their moves and their opponents.

By using interlocking mats, you insure that the flooring stays in place and does not slide, causing your students to fall or injure themselves moving against the floor’s movement. You can floor the entire room with these interlocking mats, or place them in one area of the room, knowing they’ll stay where they’re put.
