Interlocking Gym Mats For Convenient Training

There is nothing worse then having to pack and unpack huge and heavy mats ever time you want to do some training. It is even worse when those same mats come apart while you are training. Apart from the convenience it is also dangerous are your toes can get caught between the gaps which can lead to strains and broken bones.

This is why interlocking gym mats are such a great option. These mats are also referred to as jigsaw mats and foam mats. Interlocking mats are great for a number of reasons and you are sure to experience the benefits once you have tried them.

Easy to assemble – The interlocking nature of the mats make them very easy to assemble. Just like a jigsaw puzzle the pieces fit snuggly into one another forming a perfectly smooth surface. The mats can then be easily taken apart when they are no longer in use.

Easy Storage – These mats are incredibly easy to store. As they are only 1m x 1m they cab be stacked up when they are not in use. And as they are light weight you don’t have to worry about them toppling over and injuring someone.

Light Weight – There mats are very light weight. Each mats weights only 1.5 – 3kgs depending on the thickness. This is extremely light when you take into consideration the size of each mats.

So if you are looking to buy a good gym mat for your training area look no further then EVA interlocking gym mats. They are a great solution for any train area.

About Mixed Martial Art

All is all good a proper to know where to get MMA mats but what is MMA. MMA is an abbreviation for “mixed martial arts”. Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines both striking and grappling, in both standing position and on the ground, using a variety of techniques from different martial arts. 

Some would argue that MMA first become popular with the UFC, or Bruce Lee or the Gracies. I say that MMA has been around since the dawn of time. Since man (and women) first roamed this earth men (and sometimes women) have chosen to use fighting to sort out their differences. To do so they kicked and punched and did all sorts of things to defeat their opponent. It was the passage of time which eventual split them up and began to categories aspects of fight. 

Which Mats Should an MMA Fighter Use?

It is an age old question. Which mats to use? Heaps of fighters still prefer tatami mats for their training. Sometimes it is just because this is what they are used to using. Maybe time spend training in judo or other traditions arts has gotten them accustomed to the tatami look and feel. MMA has a large amount of fighters that have origins in more traditional forms of martial arts.

Others like the added grip that the tatami finish give them. I have often been told that during a hard workout a person can get very sweaty. During a work out a person can be literally dripping with sweat. If you multiple that by ten or more people you can imaging how bad it can get in a training gym. For this reason having a bit of grip can be beneficial even desired.

Smooth Mats vs Tatami Finish

There is no doubt that MMA mats with a smooth finish are becoming more predominant. The issue of mat burn is the most cited reason. As MMA fighters tend to work both their stand up and mat game in equal measure a fighter will come on contact with the mat constantly. Often even quite violently. The constant impact can lead to grazing especially in a gi-less environment. If you visit most MMA training gym you will find  Zebra mats or MMA mats with a smooth finish. That is either Zebra Mats™  or a less expensive MMA mats that is manufactured in China such as those sold by Southern Cross Mats.

Jigsaw Mats For Skipping

Gym Mats Great For Skipping

I find that skipping everyday is a fantastic form of exercise. I only ever used to do it when I went boxing but then I bought myself a skipping rope and now I do it all the time. At first I just skipped outside on the concrete driveway but then I started to notice fatigue on my knees the constant jumping up and down was having an effect and I worried that I would have to stop an activity that I had really learnt to love. 

Thats when I discovered that EVA jigsaw mats (also know as gym mats) are great for skipping. I have original bought the jigsaw mats for my kids to practice their jiu-jitsu but then upgraded to tatami mats. The spare EVA gym mats were just laying around so I through a couple outside to training on. I found instant relief the first time I skipped and haven’t looked back since. Now I would never sod skipping without my treasured EVA jigsaw mats.

So there you have it. Next time you are thinking about training and don’t want it to impact your joints call Southern Cross Mats. The EVA Mat Kings.

Sales Tips

Sales Leads Processing and Conversion 

 

Most leads can potentially generate a sale and success depending on how it is handled. People require exceptional customer service, quick response and competitive pricing.

 

Not all quotes convert, but to give the best chance it’s about taking the time to understand what the client is after, ensure you’re providing them with alternative options not just the one they enquire about and making contact. That gives us a greater chance to be in the running to win the job.

 

Steps in generating a sale from a lead:

 

Enquiry received

 

  • Make contact with client – either call or at least email saying the request has been received and we will respond asap. Also, use this as a means to get extra information from the client to ensure you are quoting suitable products and can offer additional ones if need be (sometimes what they ask for/expect pricing to be isn’t suitable.
  •  Always provide some alternative options in the quote which might be suitable for them or are new and exciting that they may not have seen

 

  • Response rate for replying to an enquiry should be within the hour if not minutes. Studies have shown that sales enquiries should be replied to within minutes to generate best outcomes, but obviously, it with depend on other factors including how many items are being requested, is it off shore or local pricing etc. If it will be longer ensure you call the customer and explain.

 

  • Follow up phone call as soon as possible to clarify the quote supplied, ask if they have any questions etc. Again if it is a simple quote then call customer shortly after sending quote. If it is a longer quote then give them time to digest.
  • Depending on outcome of the above you should note to follow up in a couple of days if they say they have received and reviewing. If they don’t answer call every day until you speak with them (rarely leave a voice message for them to call back, not unless you have already spoken to them)
  • If they seem interested confirm pricing is suitable, options are what they want and try to determine how promising it is.
  • Offer samples, visual mock ups if that helps to get the job over the line
  • If order doesn’t proceed always speak with them to find out why and how we can assist for the future/ what else they need. Also promote our specialties and how we can help them get their brand further 
  • If order proceeds always contact them on a frequent basis to see what else you can assist with. Touch base with your most active clients about once a month, if you don’t hear from them. With all the customers you should know when they order/what their requirements are and note them down to be one step ahead of them (eg: they usually order in May, call in April and see if you can help with what they require etc)

 

Finally all your leads, quotes and responses should be keep in a log so that they can be viewed by sales and marketing for any usable data and to keep track.

MMA Mats

 

MMA or mixed martial arts is the system of combining standing and grappling fighting arts. With MMA practitioners are required to train an assortment of techniques which exposes them to more injury then just training just one martial arts discipline. This fact requires them to have mats which are suitable for their needs.

 

Our MMA mats are very similar to the tatami mats. They are the same thickness (40mm) and same size (1m x 2m). The biggest difference is that the mats come with a smooth surface. These MMA mats are ideal for mixed martial arts where there is a combination or kick boxing and grappling.

The smooth surface limits the amount of mat burn which is beneficial in a no-gi environment. Also constant throwing and grappling can cause a lot of friction which the practitioner may want to avoid. For such applications these mats are ideal.

We find that blue & red EVA mats are very popular with our customers. It is a classical colour combination that has been in use for many years. These double sided mats  are two toned meaning they are blue on one side and red on the other.

When it comes to MMA mats and tatami mats the black and grey combination seem to be a common combination. So too are black and red or black and yellow. They make for a very modern look. That said the sky is the limit and our aim is to supply our customers needs.

This is especially convenient when you need to create boarders and different designated areas. Customer often use this feature to create a boarder around the training area so that people know when they are close to the edges.

Interlocking Mats for a Better Fit

Our training mats are classified as interlocking flooring. This is because they employ a interlocking mechanism that closely resembles jigsaw puzzles to look into one another. This mechanism ensures that the mats don’t come apart easily whilst training. 

To ensure that mats don’t move around on a slippery surface it is sometimes advised to use a non-slip underlay to improve stability. Other still use weights or contain the mats between the walls of a training room.  The 40mm red/blue mats interlocking mats are light weight and easy to transport.

The best thickness for jigsaw mats

Choosing the right thickness for your mats is obviously are personal choice and can only be determined my the user themselves. However the importance of finding the right thickness can’t be underestimated.

The mats are after all for the safety of yourself and others that use the mats. This is precisely what anti-fatigue mats are meant to be used for. So alway but adequate thought in the correct thickness for you.

The 40mm mats are the thickest exercise mats that we have on offer. That said we can arrange thicker mats on special order. We have a constant stream of blue/red 40mm gym mats coming to our warehouse to satisfy demand from our customers.

Our 40mm mats are a great choice for higher impact exercise. That said it is always best to pursue a safe training regime as an injury preventative measure.
