Karate Mat Specifications at a Glance

Custom on request: size, thickness, density, surface texture, color (Pantone matching) and logo. The Impact-Absorbing Karate Mats for Safer Dojos specification sheet lists the full range.

Density is stated for every mat, so firmness is a number you choose rather than something you find out after the floor is laid.

Choose Your Karate Mat by Density, Thickness and Tile Size

  • Density availability by thickness

    Density measures foam mass per unit volume (kg/m³), not hardness. For 2, 2.5 and 3 cm mats, available densities are 80, 100 or 120 kg/m³; 4 and 5 cm mats are available at 80 kg/m³ only. Evaluate sample firmness and compression separately from density. Compression, rebound and anti-slip ratings are not published here—if your tender needs documented test data or a specific finish, ask in the inquiry.

  • Thickness (1–5 cm)

    Thinner mats give a firmer floor for kata and striking-only classes; thicker mats add cushioning for mixed-use dojos, kids' classes and sessions with falls. Thickness and density work together: thick + low density is softest; thin + high density is firmest.

  • Tile size (100 × 100 cm vs 50 × 50 cm)

    100 × 100 cm: the usual choice for a full dojo floor, with fewer tiles to lay. 50 × 50 cm: better for small rooms, irregular layouts and flexible zones; small tiles also pack efficiently for shipping.

These are starting points within our standard range. We confirm the final spec against your room and class schedule.

Example: tiles for an 8 × 8 m kumite area

A competition-style kumite area is 8 × 8 m, with a safety zone of 1–2 m on every side. Tile counts below are simple floor-area math, before any spare tiles for trimming. The mats are built to suit competition-style layouts; they are not WKF-approved products.

Using two colors, such as a different color for the safety zone, changes the split between color batches. Send us the layout and we will count it for you.

Karate Mats Buyer FAQ

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ varies depending on the mat specifications and customization requirements. We support trial orders, bulk purchases, and large-scale dojo projects. Contact us with your required quantity and specifications for the applicable MOQ.

What do samples cost?

Yes. We provide free EVA mat samples (approximately 10 × 10 cm) so you can evaluate the material, surface texture, density, and quality before ordering. You only need to cover the international courier cost.

How many tiles fit in a 20 ft or 40 ft container?

Container loading capacity depends on tile dimensions, thickness, density, and packaging method. We can calculate the estimated quantity and total coverage area (m²) for both 20 ft and 40 ft containers based on your selected specifications, helping you plan bulk orders and shipping costs.
