A teenager training his friends on puzzle mats is a recipe for disaster. Assumed risk won't be enough to save you when the inevitable injury occurs and parents are pissed.
Save your money, and have your friends chip in for a carpool group to the gym an hour away. If they can't afford to train, too bad.
If this "club" you've created happens to be in your parent's basement, you are setting them up big-time when somebody bangs hard on your 1/2" padded concrete floor.
I only train with my best friends, they train also just not as much as me. As for injuries, I make sure they know my parents very well, as in, I only train anything hard with the friends I've had since first grade. We have already broken noses, dislocated elbows etc. but the parents are good friends so they don't really care. We could be out crashing cars, so they prefer this :/
And my mom is restrictive so she won't let me ride with just anyone and it's too far to drive.
