When training in martial arts, discipline, practice, and strengthening exercises all play an important role in the participant’s success. However, there’s always the potential for injury and stress on your body. The quality of the martial arts mats you choose can affect your safety and your ability to continue advancing your skills. An adequately padded floor affects your ability to perform techniques and maneuvers safely, but other factors like the thickness, size, ease of use, and maintenance also affect how suitable a floor is for martial arts. Martial arts puzzle mats are often an ideal solution.

Martial arts puzzle mats are popular because they are portable, provide for multiple room layout options, come in many colors and thickness options, and are often durable enough for heavy foot traffic and martial arts equipment use. If one part of the installed mat becomes damaged, it’s simple to remove that piece and flip it or replace it with a new one. They are also made from non-absorbent materials and allow a simple, non-adhesive interlocking ''jigsaw puzzle'' assembly over any hard surface that requires little skill and time.
