BJJ mats for groundwork and takedown training in academies

Brazilian jiu-jitsu involves sustained contact through the knees, elbows and back, alongside positional transitions and takedowns. An academy floor needs to accommodate groundwork and the landings encountered during sparring. This category helps coaches and club managers compare BJJ mats against the sessions they actually teach.

For technical drills and predominantly ground-based training, consider 3 cm EVA foam. It is firmer than the 4 cm option and provides more stable footing. For intensive takedown practice, we recommend 4 cm for greater cushioning. If you have been considering an inflatable surface, bear in mind that the Gym4 range presented here consists of EVA foam modules.

A grey centre with black or red boundaries can define training areas, while reversible colour options help match the academy's appearance. Each 100x100 cm module covers one square metre, making the layout straightforward to plan. Edges can be trimmed with a utility knife. Colour boundaries still require adequate space between training partners.

Start with the proportion of takedown work, room dimensions and existing subfloor. Share these details and your teaching programme so we can help select the thickness, layout and colours. Explore the full range of 2 cm mats, 3 cm mats and 4 cm mats. Contact us or call: 576 586 444.
