Program · Open Mat

Open mat & skill labs.

Want more mat time? Drill, flow, or roll at your own pace. No pressure, no judgment — just time to sharpen your skills with your training partners.

  • Your session, your goals

    Drill what you learned this week, work a problem position, or get extra rounds in.

  • Technique labs

    Focused, technique-first sessions to dig deeper into a position than class time allows.

How open mat works

Open mat is informal training. Pair up, pick what you want to work on, and go. Respect others' space and intensity, ask before rolling with someone new, and match your partner's pace.

Who it's for

Everyone. Newer students use it to drill fundamentals; experienced students use it for extra rounds or competition prep. Visitors from other gyms are welcome — contact us first.
