Main advantages of natural igusa mats:

• Traditional material: Natural igusa grass offers optimal density and consistent fiber structure.
• Eco-friendly solution: We offer reused mats that help reduce waste. As these are previously used pieces, they may show minor visual wear which does not affect their functionality for training.
• Consistent resistance: The structure of the material provides balanced resistance, helping practitioners improve cutting precision and control.
• Great value: Reusing traditional tatami material allows access to authentic training equipment at a reasonable price.

Preparation before training

For optimal properties, Tatami Omote mats are rolled tightly and soaked in water for several hours before practice. This process increases flexibility and creates the ideal density for training. The preparation itself is considered part of the discipline and respect for traditional Japanese practice.
