🥋 Judo Tatami Mats for Martial Arts: The Gold Standard for Safe, High-Performance Training
When it comes to flooring for martial arts training, nothing compares to the traditional tatami mat system. Designed for combat disciplines such as judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), mixed martial arts (MMA), and aikido, these mats provide a safe, firm, and controlled surface essential for both beginners and professionals.
At Gym Flooring Singapore, we supply and install Armaguard Tatami Mats — professional-grade judo mats engineered for maximum impact absorption, anti-slip grip, and training durability.
✅ What is a Judo Tatami Mat?
A tatami mat is a high-density, foam-based mat with a textured vinyl surface that mimics traditional rice-straw tatami flooring. It is purpose-built for throwing, grappling, and ground-based martial arts, where both safety and performance are critical.
Core Features:
Non-slip, rice-grain textured surface for barefoot traction
Shock-absorbing PU or compressed foam core
Anti-burn finish to reduce skin friction during groundwork
1m x 2m modular size (or 1m x 1m), easy to configure
Available in 40mm and 50mm thickness depending on sport type
🥊 Suitable for All Martial Arts Disciplines
1. Judo Tatami Mats
Judo practitioners require flooring that can absorb impact from repeated throws (ukemi). Our tatami mats feature a firm yet cushioned surface that reduces joint stress and injury during takedowns.
2. BJJ Mats (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)
For BJJ, tatami mats offer the perfect balance of firmness and comfort for grappling, guard work, and submissions. The surface finish minimizes mat burns while offering excellent grip for technical movement.
3. MMA Flooring
In MMA gyms, the flooring must handle both striking and grappling. Tatami mats provide a safe landing zone for takedowns and clinch work while remaining firm enough for stand-up sparring and drills.
4. Aikido, Karate, Taekwondo, and More
Traditional martial arts that involve throws, rolls, or bare-foot movement benefit from the slip resistance and consistency of tatami-style surfaces.
