SATURDAY
OPEN MAT 12-1:30PM
INSTRUCTOR: TODD MATTHEWS
Open mat is a time when practitioners can freely train on the mats without a structured class or instructor leading the session. It's an opportunity for individuals to practice techniques, roll (spar), drill, and generally improve their skills in a more relaxed and unstructured environment. Open mats are common at many BJJ schools and can be a great way to build community and experience a variety of different training styles.
