Nice remodel. If you ever have problems with those mats separating use extra wide black duck tape and take the joints. If it is the textured ones than tape the bottoms. You can usually tape them in 8x8 sections and they do well.
I'm converting a single car garage into a personal training area and I'm looking for some half way decent flooring options that won't destroy my wallet.
@AFighterUncaged they work great for rolling, if you wanted them a little better for throws you could put 1 or 2 layers of cheap carpet padding underneath. I didn't do this because my floor was not level. There is a company that will make custom size vinyl tarps to cover it all as well. I don't remember the name off the top my video but one of the Gracie's talks about it in a video. Search Gracie Mats and it may come up.
@o0r4nger0o It's an Everlast Muay Thai Banana Bag... It weighs 100lbs and you can order from Everlast, or Title Boxing for Under $150 if I remember correctly.
Your garage looks exactly like mine does right now. I'm wanting to do the same thing you did, but for training in Kenpo and Taekwondo. The same flooring and all. My only difference will be, I want to put up dry wall for walls.
@502Sizzle I thought about drywall, but decided the money could be better spent on landscaping lol... All and all the garage renovation took about $300 for the floor and paint. The equipment I collected over the years, drywall would have probably cost me another 2 or 3 hundred, so it could wait lol.
@502Sizzle as a Kenpoist, wrestler and just martial artist in general I suggest looking for regular mats to put on top of the puzzle mats, they work great with the puzzle mats for throws, check different martial arts sites or they have some at Wal-Mart
@keithbowser almost two years of BJJ twice per week, bag work and weights at east 3x per week, and the tiles are doing fine actually!

the only problem with this cheap reno is that the floor is not finished and when you step on it the tiles will come apart but good effort.

What puzzle mats are you using?

@AFighterUncaged They are actually Gold's Gym Mats from WalMart. They were on sale when I got them. I did the 16 by 16 area for under $300.

@Lance1Woods
cool I was thinking about using those.
I know they, most likely, wouldn't be any good for throws but are they any good for basic rolling/ground work?
