Grey Black 20mm jigsaw mat applications

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) jigsaw mats that are 20mm thick and measure 1m x 1m, especially those that are grey and black and reversible, are commonly used in various martial arts and combat sports. These mats provide a good balance of cushioning and stability, making them suitable for activities where participants are engaged in standing combat or light groundwork. The sports that are most likely to use these mats include:

1. Taekwondo: A Korean martial art focusing on high kicks and fast footwork, requiring a stable yet cushioned surface.
2. Karate: A Japanese martial art that involves striking techniques such as punching, kicking, knee strikes, and elbow strikes.
3. Kickboxing: Combines elements of boxing and martial arts, requiring a surface that can absorb impacts from kicks and punches.
4. Judo: Although judo typically uses thicker mats (recommend 40mm!) due to its emphasis on throws and grappling, 20mm mats can be suitable for light training and practice.
5. Kung Fu: A term that encompasses various Chinese martial arts, many of which involve intricate footwork and striking techniques.
6. Aikido: Focuses on joint locks and throws, where a slightly cushioned surface helps in safely practicing falls and rolls.
7. Self-Defense Training: Classes that teach self-defense techniques often use these mats for safe practice of maneuvers.
8. Fitness and Exercise: These mats are also suitable for general fitness activities, yoga, Pilates, and aerobics, providing a comfortable surface for floor exercises.

The reversible feature of the mats (grey and black) offers versatility in appearance and can be useful for delineating different areas or zones within a training space. It's important to note that for sports with heavy groundwork, throws, or falls (like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or wrestling), thicker mats may be more appropriate for enhanced safety.

The mats are made from EVA which not only has a high impact but has a 'memory' which resets to its original shape after impact. All mats are waterproof and wipeable making them easy to maintain. Our mats are designed for long life, you don't want to be purchasing mats every year, buy once and buy quality.
