The ONLY choice for instructors who are serious about using the highest quality flooring system for their schools.

Mike Swain (World Judo Champion, 4x Olympian) has been in the mat business for over 25 years. After many years of research, he found that a majority of his customers had mixed feelings about the “Tatami Texture” vinyl on his mats. The “Tatami Texture” was perfect for the traditional martial arts practitioners, providing a non-slip surface that was the safest mat for pivoting without “sticking.” It was also a mat with some of the best impact absorption rates for big Judo throws. With that being said, many people in the grappling/martial arts community were not happy with the surface due to mat burns and increased workload trying to keep the mats clean.
