Discover a reliable partner for sports, training, and safe play – the KATSUDO Original training tatami mat
is a professional
tatami floor suitable not only for athletes in dojos, karate, or boxing but also for schools, children’s centers, and rehabilitation facilities.
Thanks to the practical
tatami puzzle system, the mats are easy to assemble, adjust to any space, and provide a safe, hygienic, and visually organized surface.
Who are the mats suitable for:
🥋 Training spaces for karate, judo, aikido, taekwondo, boxing
Tatami floors are an integral part of martial arts. They are used as a shock-absorbing surface in dojos, gyms, or sports halls.
In judo and aikido, they soften falls and rolls, while in taekwondo or karate they provide a safe surface for kicks, stances, and quick movements.
Their color variations allow you to create competition zones and boundaries according to federation rules.
🏋️ Sports clubs, gyms, and home training areas
In clubs, tatami mats serve as a durable, easy-to-maintain, and flexible floor for various activities – from fitness and cross-training to stretching or yoga.
At home, you can create a temporary training corner that you can easily dismantle and store after a workout.
They ensure stability underfoot and protect your floor from damage.
🏫 Schools, kindergartens, and children’s playrooms
In educational facilities, tatami mats are used as a safe base for play, movement, and rest.
In kindergartens, teachers use them to create a play area where children can tumble, build, or read without the risk of injury.
In schools, they can serve as a temporary gym floor, underlay for equipment, or even as quiet relaxation zones.
The tatami puzzle system makes setup and storage quick and simple.
🧘 Play, therapeutic, and relaxation zones
In therapy, sensory stimulation, or rehabilitation centers, tatami mats are used as a soft and hygienic surface for various activities –
from positioning clients and fine motor games to physiotherapy exercises. They are also used in meditation or relaxation rooms as a comfortable insulating layer on the floor.
In play areas or festivals, they work perfectly as portable “soft flooring” for kids and adults alike.

The mats are double-sided and available in color combinations (e.g., blue/red, blue/yellow, black/gray)
and in different patterns and thicknesses. No matter which color or pattern you choose, if you keep the same thickness,
the precisely cut interlocking system ensures a perfect fit.
💡 Assembly and disassembly tip: If you frequently change the mat layout after training, dismantle them carefully –
lift and separate along the interlocking direction. This prevents damage to the connecting teeth.
