About ZEBRA Athletics

For over two decades, ZEBRA has been setting the benchmark for professional training facility flooring worldwide. What began with martial arts mats has evolved into a comprehensive range of high-performance tatami and flooring solutions used in elite gyms, dojos, academies, and training centers across the globe.

ZEBRA is more than a mat manufacturer. The brand is built around a partnership philosophy — working closely with facility owners, coaches, and organizations to create training environments that match their vision, discipline, and level of athletes. Every project is approached with a clear focus on safety, performance, and long-term durability.

The World’s Leading Training Facility Outfitter

Founded in 1997, ZEBRA delivers premium-quality tatami, athletic flooring, wall pads, and training solutions, supported by expert consultation and facility planning.
While deeply rooted in martial arts and combat sports, ZEBRA systems are equally trusted in grappling, MMA, judo, yoga, and functional training environments.

From professional competition spaces to daily training facilities, ZEBRA mats are designed to perform consistently — session after session, year after year.

A History of Innovation

ZEBRA has played a defining role in the evolution of modern training mats:

  • First to introduce premium tatami systems across multiple martial arts disciplines

  • Pioneer of 1” tatami-style mats adapted for striking arts

  • Innovator in specialty mat systems for cardio kickboxing and karate

  • Early adopter of shoe-friendly vinyl coatings without compromising mat performance

  • First to develop textureless vinyl surfaces optimized for No-Gi MMA and grappling

  • Provider of temperature-stable, hygienic flooring solutions for hot yoga environments

Each innovation reflects a deep understanding of how athletes train — and what surfaces must endure under real conditions.

Built for Professionals

ZEBRA mats are used by some of the most respected gyms, academies, and organizations in the world. From traditional martial arts to elite combat sports, ZEBRA flooring is chosen by professionals who demand reliability, safety, and precision from their training environment.

ZEBRA tatami systems are approved for use in international judo competitions and are trusted daily by elite athletes, coaches, and instructors across disciplines.

Partnership-Driven Approach

ZEBRA understands the realities of running a training facility. That’s why every project is treated as a collaboration — from initial concept and layout planning to final installation.

Facility owners and organizations choose ZEBRA not just for the product, but for the confidence that comes with working alongside experienced specialists who understand training flow, safety zones, and long-term operational needs.
