Almost all of the sequences I see posted on social media show All Martial Artist training on Matted floors.

So, Here is a question for everyone.
Why have Dojo’s moved from Solid floors to Matted floors ?

I have trained on solid floors for over 40 years of Shotokan Karate as it gives you a sound foundation and it strengthens the feet and provides more stability.

Even Competitions are using Matted floor for Kata & Kumite.

Have we become so soft or is there another reason ?

Please indulge my curiosity and give me a genuine reason and not a load of crap. TIA.

Well done to everyone last night for training so hard in very hot conditions. All the sweating was worth the effort. Osu 🙇‍♂️
