#Dojo that are not purchasing mats probably ´not experiencing the current #mat #crisis for #aikido #tatami mats with canvas surface
Ask any dealers in #germany and probably the #eu the one & only supplier is the company #Regupol in Bad Berleburg.
They produce a variety of different products from recycling rubber and also tatami mats. Most of them with vinyl surface but canvas is also available.
The company is experiencing #quality problems with the canvas color.

#Aikido only #dojo usually prefer canvas because it is less likely to cause burns when you sliding on the mat. #Judo prefer usually best grip and therefore vinyl.
Nevertheless, a Aikido #dojo in #austria informed me that there are canvas mats now available again at their dealer.
Our dealer stated that the available mats are just test mats. Well, so soon we will know if the #tatami #crisis is resolved.
