Does that go for the flexi-roll mats from Swain also? I called them up the other day and the guy told me to go for the flexi rolls for my application.

I've only seen the tile type. The roll might have a different texture. When my gym put in the tile type they tore my feet and knees up for about a month. But like i said when they break in a bit they're fine.

The dollamur store has some pretty good deals. Check these mats out. I just dont' know about the surface of them. Do I want wrestling or Tatami style for takedowns and BJJ? I'd like to avoid mat burn if possible.

Just got a sample of this today. Tatami industrial interlocking foam floor mats for martial arts, mma, bjj, wrestling, grappling, judo and more.
Feels pretty good. Soft but very dense. I've narrowed down to the getrung mats or the dollamur roll up mats. The dollamurs are cheaper but I have never felt them before. Thoughts?

I've never met someone who didn't like the Dollamur.

I have Zebra Tatami and Puzzle mats and Dollamur mats. I am getting ready to order another 1500sf of Zebra Tatami mats for our Clarksville TN school. I like the Tatami mats better then the others. I think this time I will get the smooth MMA surface Zebra mats.

For home use the Dollamur is your best choice.

I went with Tiffin for my new place. I went with black in the "wrestling surface" and I couldn't be happier. The old place I trained at used Dollamur and there is no difference in quality and you'll save a ton of money. Also the shipping is really quick (depending on location of course) and the customer service is good too.

Looks like they are 390$ for a 10x10@1.25. I can get two 6x4@1.25 dollamurs for 159$. The ebay store is really cheap.

the Nitrile mats are the best but if you can't afford that then Dollamur is good too.
