The Great Rising Sun Aikido Mat(h)s Challenge

How many mats does Rising Sun Aikido have?


You said

B) 372 mats

Sensei says

Pretty close. You're only 1 mat out!

372 mats. That's just over 4,004 sq feet!

If we laid all those mats out in a line they would be longer (by 55 mats) than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, at 317m, the largest capital ships in the world.

If we could stand the mats vertically end on end we would be just 9 mats short of reaching the roof of the Empire State Building in New York at 381 m.
