What else affects the mat performance?
The surface and the undercarriage. A slippier surface, like a highly polished one will cause more slippage and we recommend our Contest Judo Mats with the more anti-slip base. The composition of the floor i.e. what lies beneath the surface: A floor with a semi sprung or fully sprung undercarriage will give more support to uki when he is thrown onto the mat as the springs under the floor will absorb some of the shock.
