Im lookin to buy some mats. Me and a buddy just got a house and we are transformin the garage into a training area. We want to line it all with mats and im lookin to buy some. They seem really expensive to buy brand new so I was wandering if anyone has any used mats or extras they would be willing to sell. I live in the north texas area and I cant seem to find anything around here. Thanx
Go to sam's club and buy puzzle mats, they work just fine and you save a whole lot of money.
What are puzzle mats. I do a search and get this kid things that have like alphabet cubes and shit? Am i missing something?
I heard puzzle mats work fine for grappling. But how are they if you are working on throws?
go to any college(if they are near you) head to the athletic dep. Alot of times they throw old wrestling or Judo mats away. If you talk to the head of the deparment you may be able to get some good mats for a low price, or even gasp free. And theres nothing wrong with free...
puzzle mats are fine for throws, if you want your throws to feel like they are happening on concrete and seriously hurt your training partner.
Local high schools are also often replacing their wrestling mats.
