- Setup & demo of budget BJJ / wrestling / judo dojo - how to make home grappling gym! Equipment: I use 3 x folding mat 8ft by 4ft by 2" (2.4m x 1.2m x 5cm) with Velcro strips [aka hook & loop fasteners] to create my own DIY matted area. *Where to buy similar mats 2021: www.amazon.com/We-Sell-Mats-T...

Good for grappling & mixed martial arts training at home for both kids and adults. Mats are easily portable, folding neatly into a small space for storage. Mine cost £210 new from Amazon UK including delivery. (Optional extra: large tarpaulin to go under mats). - Спорт
Update summer 2021: the previous mats I recommended are no longer available. These are the most similar mats I can find currently:

Thank you! just what I was looking for.
Thank you so much for showing the Matt’s especially when you walked on them
Just noticed that this video's views have been 98% from the USA and only 1.2% from the UK. Come on Britain man up and start learning to grapple 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 going to get some of these thanks for the recommendation lock down has forced it.
Lmao 😂
Interesting... im looking at a mirafit mat to do situps im from the uk
Thanks 👍
Great idea that Chris
Thanks
Awesome
I'm gonna get this for judo ground game
OMG thank you!!! same system as the mats from Gracie University but cheaper and they're available in Europe (I hope I can get them in Germany)
No problem. Did you find any in Germany?
they're available as "CCLIFE" mats on amazon Germany
@@martindreher477 should be useful to people 👍
I just bought 1cm mats for £80 my kitchen looks nice to grapple in now but theirs so fucking thin wish I saw this video like 2 weeks ago
Damn that sounds annoying. There's always use for extra mats though - the setup you see in this video was pretty good, but would be even better with 1cm mats underneath the gymnastics mats. Alternatively extra mats are useful against the walls for padding there
I found a really cheap alternative to this. On eBay you can purchase 8x4 feet crash mats for only 26 quid. Crash mats are great as they have padding and protect you during falls. They're not foldable ofc, but really cheap. I bought two.
It depends how thick/dense the crash mats are. I already had some which you can see around the sides in this video (yellow mats). But personally I would recommend the gymnastics mats over these as I think their cushioning is better overall, plus they join together. Also people may be able to get them a lot cheaper than I did.
@@ChrisPT I agree with what you mention. But the mats I purchased are ace, especially if you have carpeted floors already. They're 2" thick and are like wrestling mats. I've trained in 3 academies. The first one had puzzle mats, the second one had professional mats that you'd find in good bjj academies, and the one I'm currently in has wrestling mats. They are far better than puzzle mats. And I can compare them to wrestling mats due to look and feel. Disadvantage is that you can't attach two together, but I did purchase some velcro. I only bought a grappling dummy and these mats as I don't know when we'll get out of quarantine.
Yes having a soft carpet underneath helps with the crash mats, and my crash mats are much better than puzzle mats as well. But the softness also means that a heavy concentrated impact (e.g. landing hard on the hip or shoulder) may effectively go straight through them to bang against the surface below. Whereas the gymnastics mats have more bulk so I found them a happy medium
@@iphonetimer3575 you have a link for these?
@@ChrisPT are these suitable for BJJ /grappling do you think. ? I was think the heavy lateral forces would cause great gaps etc that wouldn't be great for grappling . Also was thinking 50mm might be a little soft as you need some density in the floor when grappling. What do you think . ? Thanks
Is 2 good enough to do some grappling
Any updates on how well these lasted and held up?
They've lasted well but I haven't used them much. Actually found another use for them for my sprint training! (Running on the spot, and step-ups, especially on a single mat folded up)
How easily do toes get stuck in the gaps mate?
Not easily, especially as the edges are quite soft.
Does it hurt when you flip
Depends how badly you flip I guess?
If you shrimp on it will it move or separate?
No. It's fairly solid once put together
What have you used these for ? Was looking for something for BJJ at home . Would these be suitable .? How have they lasted and what price did u pay? Worth it ? Thanks
Suitable for BJJ. Lasted well. Sure i gave price in vid
How firm are these? Looks like they aren't swallowing your foot, is there enough rigidity for standup to takedown training in your opinion? I think these would be perfect for a space that I need to share with my wife ..
Yes they are fine for takedown training
@@ChrisPT Have they ripped at the seams at all though? Many reviews show the one complaint is the ripping at the seam from moderate use even.. thanks
@@Polentaccio I haven't noticed that, but maybe I haven't used them enough, or intensely enough
Would they be fine for like practicing front rolls shoulder
I did rolls in the 2nd half of the vid
My bad
No problem
How much do this cost
HOW MUCH COST THIS?WHERE I CAN BUY THIS?THANKS OF ADVANCE
