Contents2 sections
A combat mat has to absorb falls and provide a smooth, easy-to-clean surface for wrestling and groundwork. Puzzle tiles go down without tools, while roll-out mats give you a continuous surface.

Frequently asked questions
What Thickness Should I Choose?
4 cm (1.6 in) is the standard for falls and throws. 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 in) is enough for a home gym focused on striking and light groundwork.
Puzzle Tiles or a Roll-Out Mat?
Puzzle tiles are easy to lay down and move, but the seams open up with use. A roll-out mat is easier to clean and unrolls quickly.
How Do I Maintain It?
Clean it after every session with a disinfectant suited to the surface material, to limit skin infections.
