This is exactly what we did in Hartford. Saved us close to $1000 to mat 600 sq ft vs. purchasing professionally made mats. Definitely worth it :)
Who are these Gracie guys?
they are pretty smart.
I might have to try this. Thanks for posting
Cool info! Thx!
I thought about doing it like this. You wont get mat burn doing no gi on the vinyl?
That's smart.
No the vinyl is fine...no burns...only issue is if your gym gets hot then the sweat can make it pretty slick. After class we sometimes have slip and slide competitions :).
Buwahaha, Rener could sell Official Gracie Ice™ to Eskimos.
Informative video though, so I can't hate too much...
Considering what's helping you slide, that's pretty nasty. LMAO. Sounds like fun though.Quote:

It's fine, the sweat is so pure it's like a fresh water lake
The other day I was trying to open someone's guard and as soon as I did he tried attacking with something so i sprung out and onto my feet. The black mats were so sweaty I did a 360 and slip n slided a few feet losing my balance hahaQuote:
