Testimonials

  • Gareth Stalman

    “After using the new mats provided by Gym-Master at the Takedown No Gi Grappling events, I am pleased to say I found them great.”

    “The quality of the material on the upper surface gave fantastic grip but did not leave you with friction burns as I have found with some other matting.

    Over the course of the event I saw very little slipping or movement of the mats. The normal opening up and kicking the mats back together was something we did not miss. The non slip coating on the underside seemed to provide excellent adhesion to the floor. Overall very impressed with the quality and standard of this product.”

  • James Nardone

    “Having trained and competed all over the UK as well as well as further afield in America, Japan, Sweden and Portugal, I can honestly say that the mats used by Takedown at the Takedown No Gi Event were the finest I have ever trained or competed on.”

    “These were obviously very well designed and constructed mats with the first thing you notice when you step foot on them is just how soft and comfortable they are. The surface layer of the mats and the underneath provided a great level of grip underneath the foot and also to the ground where the mats were laid out. In summary the mats used at Takedown provided for a very comfortable and safe environment to compete on.”

    “Having had a hand at the ideas stage in the design of these new Pro Mats, I always knew Jason and his team had their finger on the pulse of what is really needed. However, they have blown me away with the quality and overall performance of their new mats.”

    “Unbelievable anti slip, smooth surface but with excellent traction and just the right level of give in the foam density used.  I think it has set a new benchmark for mats in the UK.  I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any gym or centre.  This is a great company with great products.”
