New Mats, New Mats!

December 1st, 2005

Now even more ‘fully matted’ than before! The London dojo has been completely rematted, with that unmistakeable new mat aroma. The first chance to practice on the new mats (other than Barney’s sneaky forward breakfall after we laid them) is on Tuesday 13th December – they’ll never be this new again! So soft you’ll wish we did zagi practice non-stop.

But seriously, this is excellent news. A photo for those with mat (not Matt) fetishes!
