[Namron] Fighter Floor Mats

[Epperson, Sheryl]

But I don't think we'd need to entirely cover a basketball court.  A 30 x 30 area would take 225 squares.  At $12 each, that would be about $2,700.  A 20 x 20 area would only take 100 squares, and would be about $1,200.  Still a little expensive for something we wouldn't use that often, in my opinion, but certainly something to look into.  Especially if someone was willing to do a special-purpose fundraiser for at least part of the cost.

However, we would also have to consider storage, transportation, and maintenance.

A 2x2 sqaure of inter-locking martial arts - weight lifting mat will run 10-12 dollars. So a 10x10 list field would run about 300. To cover a basketball court for a fighter practice would run about 14,000 dollars.

In general, either our weather is mild enough to allow fighting outdoors (most tourneys are spring or fall), or there just isn't an indoor facility large enough available. Also, I don't know how much these would cost, although it might be worth looking into. It certainly would enable groups to expand options for fighter practice if we could show that we wouldn't damage the floors.
