2.5cm Tatami Puzzle Mats - Martial Arts Flooring

ONYX 2.5cm Tatami Puzzle Mats - Martial Arts Flooring

Firm Footing for Striking Arts. Comfort for Every Class.

The ONYX 2.5cm Tatami Puzzle Mats deliver a firm, stable training surface with genuine cushioning - the step-up choice for striking arts, karate and taekwondo dojos, and busy class floors where footwork precision matters as much as comfort.

Crafted from ultra-dense 100kg/m³ EVA foam with a classic tatami texture and reversible colour options of red/blue or grey/black, ONYX mats deliver a durable, professional flooring solution trusted by martial arts schools and training facilities throughout Australia.

Key Features

• 2.5cm balanced thickness - firm underfoot for striking and footwork, cushioned for drills and light partner work
• 100kg/m³ ultra-high-density EVA foam - among the densest tatami foam on the market, giving a firm, planted feel that resists compression and retains shape
• Tatami-style non-slip surface - traditional texture prevents slipping without causing mat burn, designed for barefoot training
• Reversible double-sided design - Red/Blue or Grey/Black for zoning, competition formatting, or extended wear by flipping tiles
• Interlocking puzzle edges - precision-cut jigsaw edges lock securely without glue; 4 edge strips included per tile
• Waterproof, sweat-resistant, easy to clean - built for commercial, high-volume use and easily sanitised between classes

Technical Specifications

Recommended Use

• Karate and Taekwondo dojos
• Kickboxing and striking-focused gyms
• Kids' martial arts programs
• PT studios and functional training areas
• School sport programs, rec centres, and council gyms

Installation & Maintenance

• Lay flat on a dry, clean floor - tiles interlock securely with no adhesive required
• One tile covers exactly 1 square metre, so a 6m x 6m space takes 36 tiles
• Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent between classes - no solvents or harsh cleaners
• Flip tiles periodically to extend life and refresh the look
• Don't leave racks, benches or heavy equipment standing on the mats long-term - EVA foam takes a compression set under a constant point load

Frequently Asked Questions

Which thickness should I choose?
2.5cm suits striking arts and standing training with occasional floor work. For mixed classes with wrestling or ground work, go the 3cm all-rounder; for throwing arts like Judo and BJJ, the 4cm gives maximum protection. On a budget for standing work only? See the 2cm.

How many mats do I need?
Each tile covers exactly 1 square metre - just multiply your room's length by width. Edge strips are already included with every tile for a clean finish.

Do the mats separate during training?
No - the precision jigsaw edges lock tight under load and stay planted. No glue or tape needed on a flat, clean floor.

Can I lay them over carpet or concrete?
A hard, flat surface like concrete or timber is ideal. Over carpet, tiles can flex at the joins under heavy use - low-pile carpet works for lighter training.

Do you supply bulk quantities for full gym fit-outs?
Yes - we supply dojos, MMA facilities, schools, and council gyms Australia-wide, with layout support available. Contact us for volume pricing.

Warranty

ONYX tatami mats are covered by a 12 month manufacturing warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use - delamination, splitting not caused by use, jigsaw edges that don't lock on arrival, and tiles that are out of spec. Normal surface wear, compression marks from equipment left standing on the mats, cuts from dragged gear or shoes, fade from sunlight and damage from harsh cleaners aren't covered. Full terms, exclusions and the claims process are set out on our warranty page. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
