I have an empty garage and i wanted to know if there are any decent sized mats that aren't too pricey so I can practice wrestling and jiu jitsu at home
search dollamur mats on ebay
I bought mine from them too. The shipping was impressively fast. And they threw in a roll of mat tape for no charge. Cannot say enough good things about the Ebay dollamur store.This ^^^^^
Start by buying the 4 x 6 mats (2 each per order) for $120 to $140 and buy a set every month until you have the size you want. If you wait they always go on sale 10% off. You can also sometimes get a good deal on some of the larger mats. I picked up a 5 x 21 a couple years ago for less than $500 after it was on ebay for a long time, they dropped the price. Add in the 4 x 6 mats I picked up over time and I have about 800 square feet of mats in my home gym (16 x 49 + 4' wider in the center area making it 20').
Edit: You can also get the gymnastic wall pads cheap too, they are carpet covered but you can turn them over and mount them with the closed cell foam out. I have 20' of my wall covered by them next to the cage panel corner (I build the cage panels and sell them so it was free).
I've had and tested out many, but the best mats for home use by far are the foldable Gracie Academy mats. I have a room at my apartment with a 15 x 10 setup, it's perfect for rollin, and the 2 inch thickness also makes them safe for throws and takedowns.I have an empty garage and i wanted to know if there are any decent sized mats that aren't too pricey so I can practice wrestling and jiu jitsu at home
