Would this type of flooring be suitable for practicing rolls and break falls?

No, I don't think so. I think I read that it is not for martial arts. There are different mats for rolls and breakfalls which would be thicker and softer that this. I LOVE this for jump rope and free-weight training and body-weight exercise, but it's not suitable for more impact than that.

I use the product for rope jumping (bare foot). Really saves the joints. Given my experience, and based on my use, I would assume it would work well for your needs. However I think you will need more than 4 pieces which when assembled results in a matt only 4 feet by 4 feet.

I think hardwood floor would be best but you could probably use it on a carpet that isn't too plush. Don't think it would cause damage As long as it didn't slide around. I have a work out mat under mine.

It is used in our home to practice gymnastics such as front and back walk overs , back bends, cartwheels, ext., We have hard wood floors as well and (slipping) it hasn't been an issue. We love you the mats. They can be velcroed together. They are durable and not too heavy to move around for placement. Hope that helps.

U could use it for exercises it would be good to start with one and as i get to a point u would like the step to be hier u can. Stack another on top and be safe that it will not move or fall off. Very safe But i would not use it with out the blue matt on it. Because it gives u that grip so u will not loss your footing .The steep is very nice looking. Good invest ment. My dad loves his

I would not think so. The mat is very thin and I don't think it is designed to cut noise especially if you are jumping. But it is probably better than a bare floor.

hmmmmm.... It might be OK. I don't know if it would wear well if the floor you were using it on had any type of rough surface.

I think probably ok. See if ur Sports Authority has one on floor and try it out. SA has had them in stock. I have stood only briefly and it seems sturdy.

Yes. I used these on top of hardwood floors and I even had an Olympic bench bar loaded with 20 lbs on each side get dropped by a child playing in my gym and the floors were untouched. Don't worry, child wasn't hurt either and we explained it was dangerous to play in the gym and never happened again.as an extra precaution I put cheap thin plastic mats under the entire room and used these heavy rubber mats under major equipment like my smith machine.

Not if you move around a lot. As packed, it's only good for tap practice. You need to buy more if you want to really dance on it. Additionally, it's not stable in carpet. You need it on a hard floor. So basically, it would just protect your hard wood floor from being scratched. But it's useless on carpet. I hope this helps.

I don't think I would. Laminate floors don't seem all that solid to me. I mean, they're made out of what? Compressed paper? I use this machine on a painted cement floor and it works well for that.

Probably, it would depend on the height and weight of the user and the ability they have to control their bounce. As the product is recommended for children with adult supervision, and if there are no overhead obstructions in the way , common sense makes me think it would be safe. Of course no flips, somersaults etc as this item was not designed for those types of activities.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

I would say yes, on a scale descending to no depending on how much you value your floor. The more you value it, the less I'd recommend it. I've grown up working with wood, including wood floors, and I'd never recommend putting all your weight on casters and rolling them around a floor you want to preserve. The smallest pebble that found its way into a wheel would mean the end of your floor as you know it, and would mean hundreds of dollars in refinishing costs. That's my thought.

Howdy! Wow! Big job! I beleive this gun should be fine. I put down less then 600sq of flooring with only a couple of jams. Minimal "learning curve"! The included nylon block made things MUCH easier to fit! Good luck!

For the purpose I used them for they were excelent. They held a nice bit of weight and they were adjustable. I still like them today. If the floor is sloped, there is a little play in them. However, they are not of real high quality. the plastic on the bottom was held with a screw. If the floor does not have a major slope; they will probably work.

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.
