This is because while MMA may be a new rage in martial arts training circles, the fact that martial artist of any style have been adverse to being injured for hundreds of years!

In all seriousness, the classic model of puzzle mat is a must for anyone looking for protection from injuries in a MMA class.

The key to preventing a number of unnecessary injuries involves making sure the floor you are training on contains a cushion buffer that eliminates impact related injuries.

Kinds Of Mats

There are many different types of mats that can be placed on a floor.

Rolled mats and folding mats are quite common. Puzzle mats may not be as popular as the other two mats, but they are equally effective provided you purchase the mats from a name brand manufacturer.

You do not want to make a purchase from a less than reputable manufacturer. You will want to be sure that the mats are well made and will provide the proper amount of protection to those in dire need of adequately produced mats.

Protection

In MMA, the need for an adequate and effective amount of protection is a must.

That is because there is a lot going on with a MMA training session. There is punching, kicking, clinching, throwing, takedowns, and, of course, ground grappling.

Without a proper mat, the potential for injuries increased tremendously. By having the right mats on the floor, you reduce such problems.

No, you can never eliminate such potential problems completely. But, you can reduce the potential instance of such problems.

Drills

MMA is a tough sport. It requires a lot of different drilling and sparring. You need the proper floor mat in place. There is a clear must!

Ease

Puzzle mats are also easy to put together. As the name implies, fit together like puzzle pieces. This means that they can be assembled and disassembled with relative ease.

Of course, you can always affix the mats and leave them on the floor permanently. But, if you need to undo the mats and store them away, you can easily do so. The choice is up to you.

How Much Do You Need?

Some may be curious as to how much mat square footage you need in order to properly grapple on it.

This really will vary depending upon the number of people grappling during the session.

If you are running a large class with a number of people, you probably would want the bulk of the floor covered with mats. There should be no space - or as little space as possible - that is not covered by the puzzle mat(s).

For small grappling sessions with fewer people, 12 x 12 mat space may prove to be adequate. However, if the space seems too small, just add to it as needed. It is better to have too much than too little when it comes to mat space.
