How to Buy MMA Mats – What to look for
Mats are a very important part of training whether training Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), wrestling, judo or striking. So, when you buy MMA gear, be sure to include the proper mats on your shopping list. They prevent injury as well as stop the wear and tear on your body. Training on mats that do not provide enough padding and protection can punish the body unnecessarily and can have you taking more time off because of injury. But what mats should you get when you're equipping yourself to train and buying the MMA gear you'll need?
The first thing you need to decide is what the mats are going to be used for. Typically the more impact you're going to have with the mats, the more padding you will need.
Judo/BJJ Gi & No Gi – Judo and BJJ use mats with a good amount of padding. Because Judo has a lot of twisting movements and pivoting off the balls of the feet, they use mats that are more firm but thick. It prevents you from rolling your ankles and twisting your knees. BJJ starts on the ground so there is less impact involved unless your doing No Gi and beginning on your feet (wrestling). Judo mats come in pieces of approximately 3' by 6'. Because these mats come in pieces, you can start with just a few, if that's what you can afford and add more later. That's one great thing about MMA mats, is that when you buy MMA gear, you don't have to buy all of your mats at once. You can buy just one or two to start, so you have a small space to do some technique on. Then, when you're ready to stock up and buy more MMA gear, you can get a few more, until you have all of the mats you'll need to fill your space.
MMA-When doing MMA in a cage, the cages typically come with matting specific for that cage. However, you can train MMA on wrestling mats or Judo mats. Wrestling mats will protect you from any high impact, but it is risky because you can roll your ankles or twist your knees. Judo mats will give you a more firm platform which is safer for ankles and knees but is a little harder on the landing of any takedowns. Judo mats would be more efficient because of the fact that they provide an all around protection even on impacts. As long as there is no slamming, they are usually pretty safe.
Wrestling Mats-Wrestling mats by far offer the best protection on high impact training. They are very thick and well designed to absorb impact and prevent injuries. This is typically used for Wrestling and No Gi Jiu Jitsu.
Mats are a very important part of training, so when you buy MMA gear and equipment, you've got to invest in the best mats you can afford. Trying to save money on mats will result in poor training and probably a lot of injuries. Be sure to get the proper mats for the training you're doing and training will be much more efficient and enjoyable.
