do any of you have home gyms where you practice - what kind of flooring do you have? i'm looking for flooring for just a small amount of space that won't slide around on a slick surface and maybe has a little cushion for falling or tumbling?

    I have jiu Jitsu mats in the garage... maybe if you keep an eye out you can get some used ones...

    I was just at Sam's club and saw this and immediately thought it would be great on a gym floor. it is double layer high density foam.

    That's my dream, only it would be spare room, not garage!!! Granted my club is only 1km from home so its nearly the same!!!

    Outside on the lawn (muay Thai) good for balance as the ground can be uneven.

    I wish my backyard was flat - it's on a very steep incline so it's hard to practice there!

    i decided to go with gymnastics style carpet with the padding. i'm just going to order one 5x10 roll out chunk first, see if i like it and then order a second and trim to cover the whole room (10x14). i can't wait!!!
