Your Guide to Designing a 
Personal Martial Arts Studio at Home


After staying indoors for several months because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you might feel like life in your household is slowly returning to normal, but many businesses, like gyms and martial arts studios, are still operating with limited hours and capacity restrictions. 


If your children miss their martial arts classes, and you’re not sure when they’ll be able to return to their studio, consider giving them a space to practice at home by building an in-home martial arts studio. We’ve rounded up resources with tips on relevant topics ranging from flooring choices to cleaning techniques.


Finding a Place for Your Studio


A specialty feature like a martial arts studio can bump up your property’s value, especially if the buyers could utilize it as a multi-purpose room that functions as a yoga studio, home office, or home gym.


  • If you select a room that could be used for other activities, you could boost your property value if you plan to put your home on the market in the future.  

  • Want to finish your basement to create a home for your studio? Outline your budget with these helpful tips

  • If you declutter, deep clean, and organize your garage, you might be surprised by how much room is freed up for martial arts gear. 

  • If heat is escaping from your home studio, you may need window glass repair (averages $170 - $375).


Setting Up Your Studio


Your child will require some special equipment for workouts, and you might want to consider moving forward with major renovations, like tearing up the old floors. 


  • You may need to install new flooring for your studio. Rubber flooring is durable, slip-resistant, and easy to clean. 

  • This guide breaks down everything you need to know to choose the perfect punching bag for your child. 


Keep Your Studio Germ-Free


Your kids will prefer to work out in a squeaky-clean martial arts studio, especially in the midst of a pandemic! 


  • Creating an in-home martial arts studio is expensive, so save money on cleaning supplies with this DIY formula!

  • COVID-19 has not disappeared, so stick with these surefire cleaning methods to disinfect your studio from top to bottom. 

  • Workout clothes easily become stained and smelly, so follow these tips to keep your kids’ athletic wear clean.


Taking martial arts classes and working with an instructor at an established studio is the best way to learn safe techniques and improve by listening to expert feedback. But practicing drills and sparring in a home studio will also help your child make strides. With their own studio, your children will be surprised by how much they’ve progressed when they’re able to return to classes!
