5 Reasons Martial Arts Mats Matter – Backed by Southern Cross Mats
Whether you’re throwing a judo hip toss, locking in a BJJ triangle, or practicing kata in karate, one thing stands between you and the ground — your mat. In martial arts, mats aren’t just a convenience; they’re a necessity.
As Australia’s premium supplier of training mats, Southern Cross Mats knows exactly what it takes to support martial artists — from beginners to black belts — with safety, comfort, and performance in mind.
1. Injury Prevention
Let’s face it — martial arts can be tough on the body. High-quality mats offer shock absorption to protect joints, bones, and muscles during takedowns, throws, and falls. Without proper padding, the risk of injury skyrockets.
2. Support for All Styles
Not all martial arts are the same — and neither are their training needs. Southern Cross Mats offers:
-
Tatami mats for BJJ, judo, and MMA
-
Puzzle EVA mats for karate, taekwondo, and multi-purpose spaces
-
Roll-out mats for fast setup and large areas
Each style is designed to match the unique movements and impacts of different disciplines.
3. Better Performance
Slipping during a roundhouse or landing hard on a thin mat can break focus — or worse, cause injury. Quality mats offer grip and consistency, helping athletes train harder and more confidently.
4. Durability That Lasts
Southern Cross Mats builds products to last — even under daily foot traffic, intense sparring, and constant cleaning. Their mats are easy to maintain, resistant to wear, and made with long-term performance in mind.
5. Train Anywhere
From full-scale dojos to garage gyms, Southern Cross Mats makes it easy to build a training space wherever you need it. Their mats are modular, portable, and easy to install — ideal for professionals and home users alike.

Great martial arts training starts from the ground up — literally. If you’re serious about safety, performance, and comfort, Southern Cross Mats has your back (and your knees, elbows, and everything in between).
