Analysis
The beach mats are good for beginners, but the Mugen Dachi
mats are better for experienced practitioners and can be cut
in half
for use by beginners. Therefore they are my recommendation
for cutting. And, while initially the Chinese beach mats seemed
cheaper
than Mugen Dachi's tatami-omote, cost per makiwara is essentially
the same:
Mugen
Dachi tatami-omote --
US $3.50 ($3.80) each
1 mat per roll = $3.50 ($3.80) per
makiwara
Beach mats --
US $1.25 each
3 mats per roll = $3.75 per makiwara
Therefore I recommend Mugen Dachi tatami-omote for cutting.
Availability
David Wilson of Mugen Dachi says the company always has tatami-omote
available and that you can buy any quantity, no minimum. However,
you can combine orders with other people to get a price break
if you would like. Price breaks currently occur at 320 (120) pieces and
620 (420) pieces per order.
