K1

K1 mats for low kicks, knees and standing work

K1 is a kickboxing format that adds low kicks and knee strikes, with short, dynamic exchanges. Fighters often stand on one leg, check kicks and return quickly to stance, so when equipping a gym it is worth assessing how the surface supports the standing foot. This category is for coaches and club owners preparing a room for K1 or sharing it with other classes.

For a professional gym, we suggest considering 3 cm EVA foam. Within the Gym4 range, it is firmer than 4 cm, which can be an advantage in standing practice. If the same surface hosts MMA sessions or frequent takedown training, consider the 4 cm option. For technical drills and children's groups without falls, 2 cm can be chosen.

The 100x100 cm modules let you plan the floor in units equal to 1 m² of surface. Separate colours can mark bag stations, pad work and sparring areas, with reversible options helping coordinate the club's interior. Interlocking elements can be trimmed to the room's dimensions. A single module can be replaced without dismantling the full floor.

When choosing, describe how much of the programme is standing work and how much involves falls or other disciplines. Tell us about the subfloor and give the room measurements. We can help match the thickness to the way you train and plan colours for each area. Compare 2 cm mats, 3 cm mats and 4 cm mats in the full range.
