''There’s a post right in the middle of my floor and there are 4-6 year olds taking martial arts classes. Sometimes the kids get a little out of control with what they’re doing, and we wanted to make sure they were safe - having four inch steel beams running right in the middle of the training floor. We needed something just to make sure if someone took a header into it, it wouldn’t hurt them. They’re wrapped nicely. They look nice and clean. You really don’t even notice that they’re there.''

West Omaha Martial Arts in Omaha, NE employs different Greatmats’ products throughout its facility, including Pilaster Flexible Wrap 4 Sides 61 - 72 Inches.
Owner and operator, Noel Ginsberg, not only upgraded the facility’s flooring with Martial Arts Karate Mat Premium 1 Inch product, an affordable and durable product that he found to be able to endure hundreds of kids using them every day of the week, year in and year out, but he also chose to enhance the facility’s look and safety with the flexible pilaster wraps, because they are easy to install and fit nice and snug.
David Brogan of Harrisburg BJJ & Judo in Lemoyne, PA uses the flexible pilaster wraps, as well. Brogan said the column pads, ''look professional and provide great protection''.

The Holy Family School in Cincinnati, Ohio is home to a gym that is more than 135 years old, so recently needed an upgrade to its safety features. That’s when Rex Currin, physical education teacher, decided it was time to employ Greatmats’ Wall Padding.
The school has brick walls and pillars that line the gym, which kids really need protection from. Because the wall is less than a foot from the out-of-bounds line, safety had always previously been a concern for many in the school community. That is, until Rex found Greatmats.
Not only did Rex find the Greatmats’ staff to be kind, helpful, and trustworthy, but he can’t say enough about the wall padding, either. He is now comfortable allowing kids to push limits a little further. “The kids run into the walls with excitement, and they are able to burn more energy in his class - allowing them to concentrate better in the traditional classroom.”
