Judo mats for dojo floors with regular throwing practice

Repeated throws and falls make cushioning a central consideration when choosing a judo floor. This applies to children's sections and adult classes alike: the exercises determine the thickness required. Coaches and facility managers can use this category to assess flooring for their club dojo.

For regular high throws, we recommend 4 cm judo mats as the minimum thickness within the Gym4 range. A busy dojo may also benefit from an additional cushioning underlay. The 3 cm option can be considered for selected technical exercises without intensive throwing, but is not our primary recommendation for the full training programme.

A rice-straw texture gives the surface a traditional tatami appearance. Texture alone does not determine cushioning, which depends on foam thickness and density. The 100x100 cm EVA modules can be trimmed to fit the room and arranged in contrasting colours to mark practice areas. Individual elements can also be replaced without dismantling the floor.

Tell us how often throws are practised, how intensive sessions are and what subfloor is already in place. We can help assess the surface and any additional cushioning layer. For official competitions, check the relevant federation's rules separately before choosing. Browse 2 cm mats, 3 cm mats and 4 cm mats for the full range. Get in touch or call: 576 586 444.
