Karate mats matched to the training programme in your dojo

Choosing a floor for a karate dojo starts with how classes are taught. Kata, basic techniques and dynamic kumite place different demands on the surface. This category helps coaches and club managers compare karate mats for footwork, kicking and any falls included in their training programme.

For lighter technical sessions and children's classes without intensive throwing, consider 2 cm EVA foam. Dynamic kumite may call for 3 cm: this option is firmer than 4 cm, offers more stable foot support and adds thickness compared with 2 cm. Takedown drills should also inform the final choice.

Rice straw texture gives karate tatami the appearance of a traditional dojo floor. Choose texture for its look and grip; cushioning depends on foam thickness and density. The 100x100 cm modules can be fitted to the room, while reversible colours define practice areas. A damaged section can be replaced without dismantling the entire floor.
