Padded Walls for MMA

Rob01

Does anyone know of a relatively cheap way to pad a wall for grappling for MMA?

Or is there any companies in Ireland that sell/make up these sort of things?

Thanks

Jigsaw mats are a relatively safe and cheap way of padding walls, if you're reluctant to use screws or batons then 'No Nails' is a very good alternative.

I was thinking more along the lines of a big foam padded wall but the plastic sheets/covers but will go with the jigsaw mats as an alternative.

Whats the wall's construction?
And what's the budget?

It's a stud wall, looking to cover about 6-10ft in length. just enough to drill takedowns against a wall without ending up covered in burns/marks which has happened recently.

I didn't really consider the budget, ha, i suppose if it was a decent solution id spend a couple of hundred. we do have jigsaw mats that could be glued to the wall as suggested above but wanted to see what other options there are

I recently fitted out a gym. We lined the wall with zebra wall pads. I'd consider this to be the gold standard.
(Edit: this isn't the gym I did, but same product)

Cost is less than you think. We paid about $50 per foot, about €35. Imo
it's worth it, but it's obviously it not always an option.

A more DIY style option would be to line the wall with 50mm foam and batten a tarp over.
Jigsaws can be poxy for friction burns.

That looks amazing, thanks for the advice

Why not try some chain link fencing with a 6 inch gap between it and the wall?

No problem.
If you you decide to go with the foam and tarp option, let me know and I'll send you a fixing detail for the battens
