A Mat for Kids' Karate and Martial Arts at Home

Quick answer: Home martial-arts practice for kids needs a cushioned, anti-slip surface that softens falls and rolls without sliding. A firm, EN 1177 impact-tested PopsyKosy mat gives a safer landing for stances, falls and basic rolls.

Softer landings

The cushioned build, impact-tested to a 1.0 m fall height at 1-inch, takes the edge off falls and floor work during practice.

Grip for footwork

The anti-slip base holds during pivots and stances so the mat does not slide out underfoot.
