Buying Judo Mats
There are currently several types of Judo mats to choose from and it is important to ensure that you buy the right kind of mat for your activity. 20mm Jigsaw mats, for example, are very affordable and are suitable for a wide variety of activities. However, only the thicker 40mm Jigsaw mats are suitable for Judo or any other martial arts that involve standing throws and breakfalling.
Traditional Judo mats are a much better choice for Judo, Jui Jitsu and martial arts in general. They are thick enough to provide ample support and cushioning for throws. They are also firm enough to reduce risk of injury and allow for smooth movement around the matted area.
Tatami Judo Mats
Tatami Judo Mats are no different to other mats in terms of thickness and firmness. The only difference is the tatami pattern; a subtle rice straw pattern that gives a more authentic and traditional look. As Tatami Judo mats are slightly more expensive, they may not be the best choice for clubs or individuals on a tight budget. However, they are the perfect choice for well established clubs and for competitions and events.
Other Martial Arts and Gym Activities
The term "Judo Mats" is simply the most common name for martial arts mats in general. Typically, practitioners of Judo, Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Karate and MMA (mixed martial arts) will all use the same kind of mats that come under the umbrella heading of "Judo Mats". Similarly, they are suitable for a range of gym activities including Yoga and Gymnastics.
