Mats Upgrade Project
Building a Safer, Stronger Training Space Together
At Gracie Barra Kuna, our mats are more than just the floor we train on.
As our academy continues to grow, it’s time to take an important next step:
Upgrading our mat structure and foundation to ensure a safer, more comfortable, and higher-quality training environment for everyone.
Why This Upgrade Matters
Over time, even the best mats experience wear beneath the surface.
By improving the subfloor and mat support system, we can:
✅ Increase impact absorption and overall safety
✅ Reduce long-term stress on joints and bodies
✅ Improve comfort and training performance
✅ Better support kids, teens, and adult programs
✅ Extend the lifespan of our mats and facility
This project is an investment in health, safety, and the future of our community.
