"Open mat is not a ‘structured’ class. As a BJJ practitioner it is important to practice those sweeps, submissions or transitions you need improving on!"
Open mat is an excellent time to experiment with all the skills you have learnt within class time. Open mat is not a ‘structured’ class.
As a BJJ practitioner it is important to practice those sweeps, submissions or transitions you need improving on! Open mat is an open time frame where you can go at your own pace and train as little or as much as you wish.
It is a great time to share your skills and knowledge with others not as experienced and learn from those with more.
Friday evening open mats sometimes end with an impromptu dinner at local restaurant which is a great way to bond with your team mates.
