Ready to build your first martial arts facility? Or are you opening a second MMA facility in town? Whether this is your first facility or your third, you likely have a few questions about the layout and the products you will need. At Zebra, we have outfitted countless facilities across the world; we have essentially seen it all. We are not simple providers of industry-leading mats and other products, we are also guides who can help you build your dream facility.
Here are a few of the top questions we are asked by our many customers.
Which Mats Are Right For My Facility?
There are five basic mat varieties available:
- 2” Zebra Mats: ideal for heavy grappling use and training involving heavy slams and throws.
- 5” Zebra Mats: ideal for grappling arts like jiu jitsu, judo, aikido, etc.
- 1” Zebra Mats: ideal for stand-up martial arts
- 1 5/8” Puzzle Mats: a lower cost, less durable mat for MMA and grappling arts
- 1” Puzzle Mats: a lower cost, less durable mat for stand-up martial arts
Some of the things you should consider when choosing mats are:
- The type of martial arts you practice
- How many students you have per day
- Your budget limitations
How Many Mats Will I Need for My Facility?
This depends on how large your facility is and the training space you are working with. If you send us the dimensions of the training space within your facility, we will be able to tell you how many mats you should purchase as well as a custom quote.
Is Financing Available?
Yes, we do offer financing and lease programs for large purchases. You can apply online for financing here.
