open mat

If you have some grappling experience (ie., two or three months of training), open mat is the perfect opportunity to hone your technique, improve your timing, and accumulate mat time. Similar to Grappling Night, there is no “teaching” during open mat as this is not a martial arts class. Rather, you train at your own pace.

DURING OPEN MAT, FEEL FREE TO…

• Roll (spar)
• Drill techniques (Gior No-Gi)
• Stretch
• Watch and learn
• Practice leg locks
• Use the gym

With that said, though, without at least a few months worth of practice, a student often doesn’t know what to do during a roll (sparing session). Therefore we welcome all students to open mat, but it’s necessary to have some experience.

We offer open mat every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Please see the schedule for more information.

Finally, open mat is for adults only. If you would like to know more about our kids classes, please click here.
