1. Daily cleaning methods

Vacuuming: It is very important to use a vacuum cleaner to clean judo tatami mats regularly. Since dust, hair and other fine debris tend to accumulate on the surface of tatami mats, using a vacuum cleaner can effectively remove this dirt. It is recommended to vacuum at least once a week, especially after frequent use of the mat. When vacuuming, take care to move the vacuum cleaner's tip in the direction of the mat's grain so that it can better remove dust from the crevices.

Wiping surface stains: For light stains on the surface of the mat, such as sweat, water or small amounts of food stains, wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth. Wring the damp cloth slightly so that it does not drip, then gently wipe the stained area. Avoid using cleaners that contain strong chemicals, as these may damage the material of the mat. If the stain is stubborn, dip a small amount of a mild detergent, such as neutral soapy water, into the damp cloth, but be aware that you must wipe again with water after wiping to remove the detergent residue.

Remove odors: If the mat produces odors, such as sweaty or musty smells, natural ventilation can be used to remove them. Place the mat in a well-ventilated area to allow fresh air to circulate. You can also place some desiccant or deodorizer, such as bamboo charcoal, around the mat to absorb the odor. However, be careful to avoid the use of overly strong scented products, so as not to cause discomfort to the user.

2. Regular deep cleaning methods

Wash the outer cover (if available): If the Judo Tatami mat comes with a removable outer cover, regular washing of the cover is key to keeping the mat clean. First, follow the washing instructions on the cover. It is generally recommended to use a mild detergent with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it may cause the cover to shrink or warp. During the washing process, avoid excessive rubbing and wringing, it is best to gently squeeze out the water, then lay the cover flat in a well-ventilated area to dry, avoid direct sunlight as the ultraviolet rays in sunlight may fade the color of the cover.

Overall cleaning (without cover case): If the mat does not have an outer cover, it can be cleaned as a whole. For smaller mats, consider cleaning them in a bathtub. Add an appropriate amount of warm water and a mild detergent, such as one specifically designed for cleaning sports equipment or a small amount of white vinegar (white vinegar has the effect of disinfecting and removing odors), and then soak the mat in the bathtub for a period of time, which should not be too long, usually 15 - 20 minutes. After that, use a soft brush to gently scrub the surface of the mat, especially the heavily stained areas. Finally, rinse the mat repeatedly with clean water until no detergent remains. For larger mats that cannot fit in the bathtub, you can use a garden watering hose to dilute the cleaner and spray it on the mat, then brush with a soft bristle brush and finally rinse with plenty of water.

3. Maintenance methods

Keep dry: Moisture is the enemy of tatami mats, as humidity can easily lead to mold, bacteria and damage to the internal structure of the mat. In daily use, try to avoid the mat coming into contact with large amounts of moisture, such as rain or drinks. If the mat is accidentally wet, deal with it promptly by soaking up the moisture with a dry cloth, then clean it as described above, after which make sure the mat is completely dry in a well-ventilated area before using it again.

Avoid direct sunlight: prolonged direct sunlight will cause the material of the Judo Tatami mat to age, fade and deform. Therefore, when placing the mat, choose a location that avoids direct sunlight. If the mat needs to be temporarily placed in the sun, it should be removed as soon as possible or shaded with a sunshade.

Reasonable use and storage: In the process of use, avoid placing sharp objects on the mat, such as knives, keys, etc., so as not to scratch the mat. At the same time, do not engage in overly strenuous activities such as jumping on the mat to avoid damaging the mat's elasticity and internal structure. When the mat is not in use, store it flat and avoid folding or heavy pressure. If long-term storage is required, roll up the mat, secure it with a string or strap and store it in a dry, cool place.

Turn the mat over regularly: In order for the mat to wear evenly on all parts, it is recommended that the mat be turned over regularly. If the mat is double-sided and usable, turning the mat over every once in a while (e.g., about a month) will extend the life of the mat. Also, by turning it over you can check the bottom of the mat for damage or stains and take care of them in time.

1. Detergents that can be used

Neutral soapy water: Neutral soapy water is a milder detergent for cleaning judo tatami mats. It can effectively remove stains on the surface of the mat, such as sweat stains, dust, etc. To use, dissolve a small amount of mild soap in warm water and gently wipe the stain area with a clean, soft cloth dampened with the solution. After wiping, you need to wipe the mat again with water to remove the soap residue and avoid the residual soap from having an adverse effect on the mat material. 

Specialized sports equipment cleaners: There are some cleaners on the market that are specifically designed for sports equipment, which usually have good cleaning results and are relatively safe for sports equipment materials. They are effective in removing all kinds of stains from the mat, including grease, perspiration, etc. When using, follow the instructions for the use of the detergent, generally spray the appropriate amount of detergent on the stain, then gently wipe it with a soft cloth or soft brush, and finally rinse it off with water. 

White vinegar: White vinegar has a certain cleaning and disinfecting effect and can also help remove odors from the mats. For judo tatami mats with slight stains and odors, you can mix white vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratio, then spray the mixed solution on the mat with a watering can and wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. However, since white vinegar has a certain acidic nature, it is also necessary to rinse the mat thoroughly with clean water after use to prevent damage to the mat caused by acidic substances. 

Alcohol (in moderation): Alcohol can be used to clean some stubborn stains on the surface of the mat, especially stains that may have bacteria or viruses. However, it is important to use it in moderation, as alcohol may have an effect on some mat materials. Pour a small amount of alcohol on a clean cloth and gently wipe the stain area, and after the stain is removed, wipe the mat with clean water to remove the alcohol residue. 

2. Cleaners that should never be used

Strong acid or alkali cleaners: such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc. These strong acids and alkali cleaners are highly corrosive and can wreak havoc on the material of judo tatami mats. They can corrode the surface material of the mat, causing the mat to fade, deform, or even damage the internal structure of the mat, such as making the sponge material inelastic or the rubber material aging and cracking. 

Cleaners containing organic solvents (except for small amounts of alcohol): e.g., organic solvents such as gasoline, banana water, acetone, etc. These solvents are commonly used to dissolve substances such as paints, greases, etc., but they can dissolve or damage some of the organic material components of the mat. For example, they can cause rubber or plastic mats to swell, deform, or peel off the coating on the surface of the mat, significantly reducing the life of the mat. 

Cleaners with abrasive particles: These cleaners contain abrasive particles that are used to remove stubborn stains and dirt. However, when cleaning judo tatami mats, these abrasive particles can scratch the surface of the mat, destroying the flatness and non-slip properties of the mat. For example, using a kitchen cleaner that contains abrasive particles to clean a mat can leave scratches on the surface of the mat and affect how well the mat is used.

1. The importance of slip resistance: In judo training and competitions, athletes will frequently make various movements, such as falling, rolling, throwing, etc. Good slip resistance ensures that athletes can stand, move and exert force on the mat steadily, reducing the risk of injury due to slipping and falling. For example, if an athlete slides on the sole of his foot during a throwing move, he will not only be unable to perform his technique effectively, but may also lose his balance and fall and injure himself. 

Performance requirements: The surface of the mat should have an appropriate coefficient of friction. If the coefficient of friction is too high, it will affect the athlete's rapid movement, and if it is too low, it will be easy to slip. The surface of a good judo tatami mat is often designed with a special texture, such as a fine grainy or striped texture, to increase friction. At the same time, some mats will be coated with non-slip material to maintain good slip resistance even when the athlete sweats a lot or there is a small amount of moisture on the surface of the mat. 

2. The importance of elasticity: A tatami mat with good elasticity can effectively absorb and cushion the impact generated by athletes during training and competition. Judo is a highly contact sport, and athletes will be subjected to a large impact force when they are thrown or dropped on a mat, and the right elasticity can reduce the damage to the body caused by this impact. For example, when an athlete is thrown by an opponent with greater force, the elasticity of the mat can disperse the reaction force on the body, protecting the joints and bones. 

Performance requirements: The elasticity of the mat should be moderate. If the elasticity is too large, the athlete may feel unstable on the mat, affecting the performance of technical movements; If the elasticity is too small, it will not be able to act effectively as a buffer. High-quality mats are usually made of materials with high elasticity, such as high-quality rubber, high-density sponge, etc., and the elasticity of these materials can maintain good performance after long-term use, and will not lose elasticity due to frequent compression and rebound. 

3. The importance of durability: Judo tatami mats can withstand high-intensity wear and tear in daily use, including frequent stamping, beating, rubbing, etc. by athletes. Good durability can ensure that the mat can be used for a long time, reduce the frequency of replacement, and reduce the cost of use. For example, in a busy judo gym, there are a large number of students training every day, and if the mat is not durable, it will soon be damaged and deformed, which will affect the use. 

Performance requirements: The material of the mat should have high abrasion resistance and tear resistance. For the surface material, it needs to be able to withstand the friction of the athlete's shoes and the scratches caused by various technical movements. At the same time, the internal structure of the mat should be stable enough to avoid collapse or deformation under long-term stress. Some high-quality judo tatami mats will use a multi-layer composite structure with a reasonable combination of wear-resistant materials, elastic materials, and support materials to improve overall durability. 

4. The importance of flatness: A flat tatami mat is the basis for ensuring the safety of athletes and the normal performance of technical movements. If the surface of the mat is uneven, the athlete may trip during the movement, and it can also affect the balance of the body and the accuracy of the movement when performing wrestling or sleeping maneuvers. For example, localized bumps or depressions on the mat may cause uneven force on the athlete's body during a fall, increasing the risk of injury. 

Performance requirements: The mat should undergo fine processing and quality inspection during the production process to ensure that the flatness of the entire mat surface reaches a high standard. During use, the mat should also be able to remain flat and not be significantly deformed due to factors such as long-term pressure or temperature changes. Some high-end judo tatami mats will use special filling materials and manufacturing processes that allow the mats to automatically adapt to different pressures and maintain good flatness. 

5. The importance of hygroscopicity and breathability: During judo training and competitions, athletes sweat profusely. Good moisture absorption and breathability can make the mat quickly absorb and dissipate the moisture generated by sweat, and keep the surface of the mat dry. This not only improves athlete comfort, but also reduces the potential for bacterial growth and odor generation. For example, if the mat is not breathable, sweat accumulates inside the mat, which will make the mat damp and moldy, affecting the service life and use experience. 

Performance requirements: The material of the mat should have good moisture absorption properties, which can quickly absorb sweat and store it. At the same time, the mat should also have a breathable passage or structure that allows moisture to escape into the air. Some mats made of natural materials, such as rush, have good moisture absorption and breathability; Some synthetic mats will be specially designed, such as adding breathable holes, using breathable fabrics, etc., to improve moisture absorption and breathability. 

6. The importance of environmental friendliness: With the importance of health and the environment, eco-friendly judo tatami mats are attracting more and more attention. The environmentally friendly mat does not contain harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, etc., which is harmless to the health of athletes, and is also environmentally friendly in the production and use process. Performance requirements: The materials used to make the mat should meet environmental protection standards, and environmental protection factors should be considered in the selection of raw materials and the use of production processes. For example, the use of natural, renewable materials or non-polluting production processes ensure that mats do not pose a risk to human health and the environment throughout their entire life cycle. 

7. The importance of dimensional stability: Judo tatami mats need to be maintained in a suitable size in various environments to adapt to different venues and competition requirements. If the mat changes in size during use, such as shrinkage or expansion, it may cause problems with the field layout and affect the normal flow of training and competitions. 

Performance requirements: The mat should be able to maintain dimensional stability under different environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. This requires that the material used to make the mat has good stretch resistance, and in the design and production process of the mat, various factors that may affect the size should be taken into account, and appropriate reinforcement measures and processes should be adopted to ensure that the size of the mat meets the standard.

1. Observe the flatness of the appearance:

Lay the mat flat on the ground and observe whether the surface of the mat is flat. A good quality judo tatami mat should have no obvious unevenness or wrinkles on the surface. You can gently stroke the surface of the mat with your hand to feel if there are any local bulges or depressions. Because uneven mats can affect the athlete's movement on them, increasing the risk of injury. 

Workmanship details: Check whether the edge stitching of the mat is firm and fine. The edge of a good mat should be stitched with double threads or a professional edging process to avoid the edge of the mat from opening and fluffing during use. At the same time, observe whether the pattern or texture on the surface of the mat is uniform, and poor quality mats may have blurred textures and fading patterns. 

Color uniformity: A good quality judo tatami mat should be uniform in color. If the mat has different shades of color, it may be that the mat is dyed unevenly during the production process or that poor quality raw materials are used, which also reflects the possible poor quality of the mat. 

2. Check the material and smell the smell:

close to the mat and smell it carefully. A good mat should be free of pungent odors. If you smell a strong smell of plastic, rubber or chemicals, it may be that materials containing harmful substances are used in the production process of the mat, such as formaldehyde, benzene, etc., which is harmful to the health of the user and also indicates that the quality of the mat is not up to standard. 

Touch texture: Touch the mat with your hands to feel its texture. A good mat should be comfortable to the touch and made of a tight but elastic material. For example, for a mat that contains a sponge or rubber component, the sponge part should be full and elastic, not floppy; The rubber part should have some toughness and not be too hard or brittle. If it is a mat made of natural material, such as a straw mat, you should be able to feel the toughness of the plant fibers and the natural roughness, but you will not scratch your hands. 

Check the material label: If the mat has a material label, check the information on the label to understand the main ingredients of the mat. This can help you determine if the mat meets your needs, such as whether it is an eco-friendly material, whether it contains ingredients that may cause allergies, etc. 

3. Test performanceAnti-slip performance test:

Wear judo clothes or sports shoes, and perform rapid movement, turning, sliding and other actions on the surface of the mat to simulate the actual situation in judo sports. If you can stand and move stably during the test, and there is no slippage on the soles of your feet, it means that the anti-slip performance of the mat is better. You can also sprinkle a small amount of water on the surface of the mat and then perform the above test to see if the slip resistance is still good. 

Elasticity test: Press different parts of the mat with your hands to feel the elasticity of the mat. A good quality mat can quickly return to its original shape after pressing, and you can feel a noticeable elastic rebound when pressing. You can also do a simple jump test, where you can jump lightly on the mat to see if the mat can effectively cushion the impact force when you land, and if your body can feel comfortable elastic support.

Durability test (easy): You can use a hard object (such as a key) to gently scratch the surface of the mat to see if there are obvious scratches or breakages on the surface of the mat. At the same time, make a proper pull on the edge of the mat and check how firm the edge is. Although this is only a simple test, it can give a preliminary judgment on the wear and tear resistance of the mat. 

4. Reference standards, international standards and industry standards: The International Judo Federation and other relevant sports institutions have certain standards and regulations for tatami mats used in judo competitions. For example, the thickness of the mat is generally between 4 - 6 cm, and the size also has corresponding specifications. Mats that meet these standards are generally more guaranteed in quality because they are designed to meet the safety, performance requirements of regular competition and training. 

Brand and word-of-mouth: Judo tatami mats from well-known brands often follow higher quality control standards. The quality of the mat can be judged by looking at the brand's credibility, user reviews, recommendations from professional athletes, etc. Good reputation is an important reference factor for the quality of the mat, because the experience of other users can truly reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the mat.

Judo tatami mats made of different materials may have the following different effects on the user's skin: 

1. EVA material: Advantages: EVA material has no obvious adverse effects on the skin under normal circumstances, has good flexibility, and is relatively comfortable to contact with the skin. It is stable at room temperature, non-toxic, and usually does not bring great health hazards as long as it is not deliberately damaged or ingested. 

Disadvantages: If other toxic or harmful substances are added to the tatami mat made of EVA, such as heavy metals, halogens, etc., during the production process, it may cause skin allergies and other problems. In addition, in a high-temperature environment, EVA material may accelerate decomposition and release harmful substances, and if it comes into contact with the skin for a long time, it may cause uncomfortable skin reactions, such as itching, redness and swelling. 

2. Sponge material: Advantages: The Judo tatami mat made of sponge material has a soft texture and will not produce a strong sense of friction when in contact with the skin, which can provide users with a more comfortable experience. And the sponge has a certain elasticity, which can play a cushioning role during use, reducing the impact on the skin when the body is in contact with the mat. 

Disadvantages: The sponge has relatively poor air permeability and is easy to absorb sweat and moisture during use. If used for a long time and not paying attention to cleaning and drying, it is easy to breed bacteria and mold, which may cause skin irritation, itching, and even skin inflammation and other problems. 

3. Natural straw mat material: Advantages: The tatami mat mat made of natural straw mat material has good air permeability, which can keep the skin dry during contact and reduce skin discomfort caused by stuffiness. Its natural plant fiber material is less irritating to the skin, generally does not cause allergic reactions, and is relatively friendly to people with sensitive skin.

Disadvantages: Natural straw mats are susceptible to moisture and mildew, and if they are in a humid environment for a long time, they may breed bacteria, mites, etc., which may pose a threat to the user's skin health. In addition, the surface of the straw mat may be relatively rough, which may cause redness and pain in the process of repeated rubbing with the skin, especially for people with delicate skin, such as children. 

4. Artificial straw mat material: Advantages: Tatami mats made of artificial straw mat usually have good wear resistance and stain resistance, and are easy to clean and maintain. The material has high stability and is not susceptible to environmental factors such as humidity and high temperatures, thus reducing the adverse effects on the skin due to material changes. 

Disadvantages: The material of some artificial straw mats may not be soft enough, and there may be a certain friction feeling when in contact with the skin. If the quality of the material is poor, it may contain some chemicals that are harmful to the skin, such as formaldehyde, etc., and long-term exposure may cause skin allergies and other problems. 

5. Rubber material: Advantages: The tatami mat made of rubber has good anti-slip performance and elasticity, which can provide stable support for the user. The durability of the material is high, it is not easy to damage, and it can be used for a long time. 

Disadvantages: The rubber material may emit some special odors, and for some people who are sensitive to odors, it may cause respiratory discomfort or skin allergies. Moreover, the surface of the rubber is relatively hard, and if the body rubs against the mat violently during use, it may cause abrasions to the skin.

1. The effect of judo tatami mat thickness on training and competition

Safety:Advantage of thicker mats: Thicker judo tatami mats provide better cushioning. When performing judo techniques such as wrestling and throwing, the impact of the practitioner's or athlete's body colliding with the mat will be absorbed by the mat, thus reducing the risk of injury. For example, when being dropped by an opponent in an over-the-shoulder throw, a thick mat can reduce the impact on the back, shoulders, etc., and act as a "protective cushion" to prevent injuries.

Disadvantage of thin mats: If the mats are too thin, the reaction force of the body contacting the ground when falling or being dropped will be greater, which can easily lead to abrasions, bruises, or even more serious bone injuries. For example, when performing some high-speed wrestling movements, thin mats may not be able to effectively cushion the impact, increasing the chance of injury.

Technical movements:Impact of thick mats:Thick mats may have a certain impact on the completion of technical movements. Because the mat is thicker, the stability of the body on the mat will be slightly worse. For example, when performing standing throwing techniques, the feet are plunged into the thicker mat, which will affect the body's balance and power, and is not conducive to the precise execution of technical movements. Moreover, thick mats may make it difficult for the practitioner to accurately perceive the position of his/her body and the degree of completion of the movement after it is completed.

The effect of thin mats: Thin mats allow the practitioner to better feel the reaction force of the ground, which helps to improve the accuracy of technical movements. For example, when doing sleeper moves, a thin mat allows the athlete to be more aware of the point of contact between his/her body and the ground and the direction of force, so that he/she can better control his/her opponents and perform joint techniques. However, due to insufficient cushioning, thin mats are less forgiving of technical movements, and the risk of injury increases if a movement goes awry.

Training and competition experience:Thick mats: Thick mats give a softer, more comfortable feeling, especially for beginners or those who have trained for a long time, this soft touch can reduce the body's fatigue. In competitions, thick mats can also relieve athletes' tension to a certain extent, as they know that they will have enough cushioning even if they fall.

Thin Mat Feeling: Thin mats are relatively hard and may make the user feel more tired during training and competitions as the body is subjected to greater reaction forces. However, for those who pursue a real competition environment and high level of technical training, thin mats allow them to better adapt to various venue conditions and improve their adaptability.

2. Appropriate Judo Tatami Mat Thickness:Beginners: For people who are just starting out in Judo, a mat thickness of 5 - 8 centimeters is appropriate. This thickness range can provide enough cushioning protection to reduce the chance of injury, but not because the mat is too thick and too much interference in the learning of technical movements. Beginners at this stage are mainly familiar with the basic movements and rules of Judo, safety is the primary consideration.

Advanced learners and amateurs: When practitioners have a certain foundation, the mat thickness can be around 3 - 5 centimeters. This thickness helps them to master the technical movements better and improve their technical accuracy. In amateur competitions or daily training, a mat of this thickness will allow the practitioner to better utilize his/her skills while ensuring safety.

Professional Athletes: Professional athletes may choose different thicknesses of mats according to the specific training content in their daily training. During strength training and technical detail training, they may use mats of about 3 centimeters or even thinner to improve the precision of technical movements and the control of the body. In official competitions, the IJF stipulates a mat thickness of 4 - 6 centimeters, which takes into account both the safety of the competition and the normal execution of the technical movements.

The common materials of judo tatami mats and their advantages and disadvantages are as follows: 

1.EVA Material: 

Advantages: Soft and Elastic: EVA material is very soft and provides users with better cushioning, reducing the impact of falls or collisions, and reducing the risk of injury, which is especially important for judo training, a sport with a lot of physical contact. 

Good water resistance: It has a good barrier to water, even after use or cleaning in a humid environment, it is not easy to absorb water, it can keep the mat dry, not easy to mold or breed bacteria, and it is convenient for daily maintenance. 

Easy to process: It can be molded by a variety of processing methods, and tatami mats of various shapes and sizes can be made according to different needs, meeting the diverse requirements of judo training venues. - **Light and easy to carry**: The material is lighter, easy to carry and move, whether it is moving between indoor venues, or going out to participate in competitions or training, it is more convenient to carry. 

Cons: Limited heat resistance: In a high-temperature environment, EVA material may be deformed and softened, so it is not suitable for long-term use in high-temperature places or places exposed to direct sunlight. Poor oil resistance: Weak resistance to grease and some solvents, if it comes into contact with substances such as oil stains, swelling or dissolution may occur, affecting the life and appearance of the mat. 

Low strength: Compared with some engineering plastics, EVA has low mechanical strength, and may appear wear and crack when used for a long time or under greater pressure. 

Easy to age: Aging may occur when exposed to sunlight or air for a long time, resulting in reduced performance, lighter color, reduced elasticity, etc. 

2. Sponge Material: 

Advantages: Good cushioning performance: It has good elasticity and softness, can effectively absorb impact and provide better protection for judo practitioners. When performing actions such as throwing and rolling, the sponge tatami mat can reduce the force of collision between the body and the ground, reducing the possibility of injury. 

Relatively low price: Compared with some high-end materials, the cost of sponge is low, so the price of judo tatami mats made of sponge material is relatively affordable, suitable for some judo gyms with limited budgets or personal use. 

Light Texture: Light weight, easy to carry and arrange the site, saving manpower and time. 

Cons: Poor air permeability: The structure of the sponge is relatively tight, the air permeability is not good, it is easy to accumulate sweat and moisture during use, and it may produce peculiar smells when used for a long time, and it is easy to breed bacteria and mold, affecting the health of users. 

Easy to deform: The resilience of the sponge is limited, and after long-term heavy pressure or frequent use, it is easy to deform, collapse and other problems, which affects the flatness and use effect of the mat. 

3. Rubber Material: 

Advantages: High abrasion resistance: Rubber has strong abrasion resistance, can withstand long-term use and frequent friction, is not easy to damage, and has a long service life. For a high-intensity sport like judo training, abrasion resistance is an important consideration. 

Good elasticity: The rubber material has good elasticity and can quickly return to its original shape after being impacted, providing stable support and cushioning for the user. 

Strong slip resistance: The rubber surface has a certain roughness, and the friction with the ground is large, which can effectively prevent the tatami mat from sliding during use and ensure the safety of training. 

Cons:Heavy weight: The density of rubber is large, so the judo tatami mats made of rubber are usually heavier, which is more laborious to carry and move, which increases the burden on the venue staff. 

Smelly: The rubber itself will emit a certain odor, especially the new rubber mat, the smell may be more pungent, and it needs to be ventilated for a period of time before it can be used. 

High environmental requirements: rubber will harden in low temperature environment, and elasticity and anti-slip properties will be affected; In a high-temperature environment, it may become soft or even deformed, so there are certain requirements for the temperature of the use environment. 

4. Polyurethane Material: 

Advantages: Heat and sound insulation: It has good heat and sound insulation performance, which can reduce the noise generated during training, provide a relatively quiet environment for the trainer, and also maintain the temperature of the mat to a certain extent, so that the user will not feel too cold or hot when touching the mat. 

Good seismic performance: It can effectively absorb vibrations, reduce the impact of vibrations generated during training on the ground and surrounding facilities of the venue, and protect the infrastructure of the venue. 

Good chemical resistance: It has good resistance to most chemicals, is not easy to be corroded by chemicals, and is not easy to be damaged if it comes into contact with some chemicals such as cleaners and disinfectants during use. 

Cons: Wear: During long-term use, the surface of the polyurethane material may be worn, affecting the appearance and service life of the mat. 

No heat dissipation: Polyurethane has poor heat dissipation performance and is prone to heat accumulation during use, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the mat surface, which may make the user feel uncomfortable. 

5. Natural fiber material (such as rush, etc.): 

Advantages: Excellent air permeability: Natural fibers have good air permeability, which allows air to circulate freely, keeps the mat dry, reduces stuffiness and humidity, and improves the comfort of the user. Especially in the hot summer months, this breathability can provide a better experience for the trainer.

Environmental protection and health: Taken from natural plants, it does not contain harmful chemicals, is harmless to human health, and is in line with modern people's pursuit of environmental protection and health. 

Comfortable Texture: The fiber material is soft, feels comfortable when in contact with the skin, will not cause irritation to the skin, and is suitable for long-term training and use. 

Cons: Prone to moisture and mildew: Natural fibers are easy to absorb moisture in the air, if the environment is humid, the mat is easy to be damp and mildew, and it needs to be dried and maintained regularly, otherwise it will affect the service life. 

Poor durability: Compared with synthetic materials, natural fibers have relatively low strength and durability, and may cause problems such as breakage and breakage when used for a long time or subjected to greater stress. 

High maintenance cost: Due to its susceptibility to moisture and damage, it requires more time and effort to maintain, which increases the cost of use.

Judo tatami mats made of the following materials are more outstanding in terms of shock absorption and cushioning performance:

1. Polyurethane (PU) material:

Advantages: Polyurethane soft foam has good sound-absorbing and shock-absorbing functions, and is an ideal shock-absorbing and cushioning material. When the tatami mat made of it is impacted by external forces, it can absorb and disperse the impact through its own elastic deformation, providing users with excellent shock absorption and cushioning protection. Moreover, it also has good compression load resistance and deformation recovery performance, even after a long time of use or a large pressure, it can be quickly restored to its original shape and state, maintaining a better shock absorption and cushioning effect.

Disadvantages: Polyurethane materials may have poor heat dissipation performance, in the use of the process is easy to accumulate heat, but its shock absorption buffer performance advantages make it in some of the higher requirements for shock absorption occasions are still highly favored.

2.Natural latex material:

Advantages: natural latex has high elasticity and good toughness, its molecular structure is special, so that the latex pad in the pressure can quickly rebound, effective buffer impact. Judo tatami mat made of natural latex can provide users with an excellent shock absorption experience, reduce the training or competition process due to falls, collisions and other impact on the body injury. Moreover, the latex material is naturally breathable and can keep the inside of the mat dry and cool to avoid dampness affecting shock absorption performance.

Disadvantages: natural latex mattress cost is relatively high, and latex material is easy to oxidize, need to pay attention to maintenance, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment.

3.EVA material:

advantages: EVA material has a closed cell structure, high elasticity and tensile strength, strong toughness, has a good shockproof, buffer performance. Its texture is soft, can be well adapted to the human body, in judo training can provide users with a more comfortable experience. At the same time, EVA material also has water resistance, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, easy to clean and maintain, long service life.

Disadvantages: EVA material heat resistance is limited, in the high temperature environment may occur deformation, softening and other problems, affecting its shock absorption and cushioning performance.

4.Rubber material:

Advantages: rubber has hysteresis, damping and can be reversible deformation of the characteristics of the intermolecular interactions will produce viscous, this characteristic makes the rubber material in the impact can be effectively absorbed vibration and impact, has a good effect of shock absorption. And rubber has high abrasion resistance, can withstand prolonged use and frequent friction, suitable for judo training this high-intensity sports.

Disadvantages: Tatami mats made of rubber are relatively heavy, making them less convenient to handle and move. Meanwhile, the rubber itself emits a certain odor and needs to be ventilated for a period of time to dissipate the odor before it can be used. In summary, if you are looking for the best shock absorption and cushioning performance, polyurethane, natural latex, EVA and rubber judo tatami mats are all good choices, but they each have some advantages and disadvantages, and need to be considered according to the actual needs and use of the scene.

In the sport of judo, the choice of mat is crucial. It is not only a stage for athletes to display their skills, but also an important barrier to ensure safety.
