I go over what to look for when buying wrestling mats or gymnastics mats from Dollarmur Martials Arts. I found a few things worth sharing in my experience owning them.

Really a nice add-on to the gym. What a great father you are!

A $500 subfloor is whole hell of lot cheaper than a trip to the ER.

I have owned a 10*10 section of 1 5/8" tatami Dollamur mat since Christmas 2016. Mats continue to hold up well, but you are spot on about the tape residue even with the specialty vinyl. Great review!

Appreciate that. I've actually stopped taping all together now. Seems to be working ok.

Enjoy watching all your KZfaq reviews and how you have set things up. Really like how organized your gym is and that you have a dedicated MMA/Gymnastics/training bag area. Would like to see how you did the flooring underneath the mats. Thanks!

@@user-sd8bz2zr5j It's on my list. I have to pull up the floor and fix a couple things on it this summer and will combine that into a DIY video.

I have a dollamor like mats (don't know the brand) for wrestling... Had it for over a decade I don't remember seeing anyone with a Velcro option when buying back then... Cleaning up mat tap sucks the wider tape helps but it's still a dirty mess... I'd want to see a video on a homemade floating floor. I didn't even know that was possible/an option till you referenced it.

@MacStrengthCo Жыл бұрын

I've noticed Dollamur seems to be going away from the velcro option but it's still available. The tape is a pain to deal with and I noticed it shrinks from temps too. I'll do a video on the DIY floating floor coming soon. cheers!

I'm in the process of building a private gym that will have basically 30m2 of mat space. I was going to do the pool noodle subfloor but there are some sections where the height is limited so I ended up choosing double mats. I'm in Argentina and importation is absurdly hard here so I'm having to make do with what I can source locally. For the mats I'm using two different types, one that is 5cm and pretty high density and the other 10mm and softer like a yoga mat. The large tarp isn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. It wasn't cheap but apparently they use some process to fuse strips of it together into one large seamless tarp so it isn't a huge amount of work. The thick pads were about 25% more than puzzle mats but a little less than 3x as thick.

My uncle is a wrestling coach, he bought a full size Velcro mat. IT DIDNT WORK Velcro peels quickly and takes may with it

Im nearly 4 yrs with these mats and no issues. I use the tape to keep the seams tight.

@liftsalty Жыл бұрын

Cool area. Do you think doubling up on the mats instead of having a floating subfloor would have a similar feel?

@MacStrengthCo Жыл бұрын

That's an idea for sure but I would suggest try them on their own first. The mats on their own work but don't want people to think they will absorb a judo throws over and over. I think for general wrestling/ training they would be fine on their own.
