What is an open mat?
An open mat is mat time without a set lesson. Instead of following a class plan, you choose what to work on: drill the techniques you are learning, or roll with your training partners.
It is a great way to get more time on the mat and put what you learn in class into practice.
Where to start with grappling
If you are new to grappling, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class is a great place to learn the basics, and open mat is the perfect addition once you are training. If you already train, come along, drill and roll.
What to bring to open mat
You do not need to overthink it. Wear shorts, bring a bottle of water and a towel, and bring your own gear if you have it. If you do not, we can provide it.
Adult classes are open to anyone aged 13 and over. Book your free class online and just turn up.
