Various sizes of puzzle mats are available on the market. For a small training area, you can choose those with smaller sizes (usually 50 - 60 cm), but for a larger area, it is worth choosing the larger ones (100 cm x 100 cm) - the principle is simple: the fewer elements to connect, the more stable the training surface.
✅ What thickness of puzzle mats to choose?
What thickness of puzzle mats is optimal depends mainly on its application. For stand-up training (karate, kickboxing, etc.).) the optimum thickness will be training mats 2 cm, however, if the training will be dominated by overthrows or ground training (judo, bjj) then it is worth choosing thicker mats - we recommend in this case training mats 4 cm.
In this case, it is worth applying the principle that the thicker the mat, the better the cushioning, but at the same time a little less stability in the standing position, which is why it is worth analyzing the nature of the exercises and on this basis choose its thickness.

If you are buying an exercise mat for your own use it will not matter much, the main thing is that it should appeal to you or fit visually into your training room. However, if you are buying a mat for tournament use then you must choose the colors required for your discipline. The most popular colors used in WKF karate, for example, are red and blue. Most of the mats are 2-colored (different color on each side) which will allow you to lay out the battlefield with a border.
