Mixed Martial Arts Mat Covers
The space looks way bigger and it’s such a cleaner look. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Just wanted to send you a photo of the mat cover installed in our space. Looks great. Very happy with it. When we expand I’ll be buying another for sure. Thanx a bunch.

"I am beyond pleased with our Thor Tarp that we got for our MMA gym. The quality of the tarp is unbelievable. I have trained in a lot of the different gyms around the country I have even trained at the UFC headquarters when I was competing on Dana White’s contender series and I have never trained on a mat that I like more than the one at my home gym in Wytheville Virginia. It changes the whole dynamic of our gym. We have always had different colored mats but now our 2000 square-foot mat is solid black with no seams are no tape needed"
Robbie Ring, Ring Combat Sports
"Thanks so much for the discount code! We use this tarp to cover mats at a Jiu Jitsu Academy. This tarp takes a beating every night. It holds up to blood, sweat, and tears! We have even made wall padding out of this tarp as well. We just placed our order for a new tarp for our gym expansion."
Jamie, Owner Esoteric Jiu Jitsu Academy
"I have attached some pictures of our mat so you can show it to your manufacturing team. The mat looks wonderful in our center."
Caleb, Japanese Culture Center
"...we installed it over the weekend. It looks great! We tested it with a few throws and it works great, too. A very nice "foot" to the fabric. Great service and a pleasure doing business with you. "
Nancy, Danzanryu Jujitsu

Vinyl or Canvas Covers
- Vinyl: 18 oz/sq yd coated vinyl with heat sealed panels and raw edges.
- Canvas: 18 oz/sq yd natural or dyed cotton duck canvas. Blind French sewn seams, triple fold hems.
Manufacturer’s Installation Recommendation: To avoid rug-style skin burns please install smooth side up; performance is unaffected either way but threads may fray out on edges of heat sealed seams with the rough side up and then need to be melted away with an open flame. Some self defense disciplines prefer the better grip of the textured side but the majority are better off with the smooth side up.
