Wow thank you!

Hello, I couldn't get a quote for the Hatashita Dax Tatami Mats--both sizes because there's apparently a captcha issue (won't submit without). But there's no captcha to check? Something perhaps for your web master to check out. Thanks.

All foam will deform/depress by taking weight? Correct me.

[@morosso1968]

nice video!
i like your watch btw ;)

[@tneipastset605]

Can your tatami mat be used for sleeping with a shikibuton?

[@HenryLouis8]

Great video! Would not want to fall on a cheap mat !

[@davidcastillo9163]

[@javiercorreapr9977]

Great video demonstration. I get the bubbling doesn’t look good but conpare that to the wrestling or Gracie mat system. One giant vinyl sheet (with wrinkles galore) over foam. This is where I’m at. Tatami mats look better. But have seems to worry about during either heavy sweating (summers here in toronto doing bjj -btw i was disappointed it wasn’t mentioned 😂, we produce literal pools of sweat the lines you’ve never seen) and mopping/clean up. No judge. I’m genuinely trying to decide.

[@kazlepek6552]

I didn’t quite understand what you said about sweating and tatami mats. Can you elaborate what you mean? Is there an issue with sweat and tatami mats?

[@oraclebjj]

@@kazlepek6552 oh i just meant that tatamis clearly will have seams/cracks/lines between each tatami after installation. Vs single sheet of vinyl tarp (with foam under lay), edge to edge (I’m talking 1000sqft +, not your garage/basement). Now add in sweat. Lots of sweat and quickly you can see that the cracks become an issue of cleanup and hygiene. During my time on tatamis i did give it some thought while in the tatami Mat system. But then you’d fight and forget about it. Now that I’m a dojo owner i have several students that have explicitly expressed disdain for cracks taking in sweat. That’s all meant. I’m not here to slander tatamis. There are probably plenty situations that it makes sense. You have to do your research and make the best choice. From a cost perspective Vinyl was supposed to be the cheaper cost effective method. But maybe it’s post covid with run away inflation but they are now close in price. You also have to think about portability if that’s important to you. Oss.

Hello friend. Did you ever find a good mat for your dojo? The tatami mats also just fundamentally look better. I saw you mentioned Toronto, isn't the average temperature in Summer like 24.5C or 76F?

[@oraclebjj]

@@Banjoboo thanks yes. I did. I bought direct from manufacturer and now a reseller for smaller orders. Toronto gets anywhere between 25-35C but a wet humid heat off the lake. So it feels a LOT worse.

[@bingbong6066]

What means weight when it's all made of foam. That's still a horible product. It smells, isnt natural, deforms faster and has way higher profit margins.

[@aldrinariaga3525]

how to order much per square meter from philippines

[@pinchevulpes]

Sir it is 500 rupees

[@markw496]

Wait but isn't tatami made of straw. Is that premium one a straw amalgamation?

[@poelmeister]

It’s not actually straw. It’s selected long grass stems.

[@dianeibsen5994]

Isn't the grass Mat supposed to breathe?.. isn't that the idea behind a tatami Mat? how does the other tatami mat breath?

[@HerEvilTwin]

I will never be able too afford a tatami room but neither will I ever stop watching these kind of vidoes

[@greendrummers]

You never know...keep imagining it is happening...and you may have a surprise!!

[@c0nstantin86]

Weight = 3x
Price = 10x ? 😂

[@wolverinex4243]

So no mat is good for sleeping on?

[@AMBER-cb5mp]

They should be multipurpose… Flooring, sleeping, etc. all tho these mats are of different materials (modernized) they should still be fine as a base for your futon

[@SirMopy]

this is a mat for martial arts…

[@russellbryant2273]

$800 tatami mat vs. The $280 mat from most other online stores. Whos tatami is legit?

[@cornflowertoile3026]

So I thought tatami mats were made of straw?

[@frankanddanasnyder3272]

Weight means nothing....

Why are you spending the entire video on this inferior product, and not showing your superior product?
