🥋 Why Open Mats Matter
Open mats are one of the best parts of Jiu-Jitsu.
Unlike a structured class, an open mat gives you the freedom to work on exactly what you need. Want competition rounds? Go for it. Looking for some lighter rolls? No problem. Need to drill a technique, troubleshoot a position, or ask a coach a question? This is the place to do it.
Open mats allow you to experiment, explore and develop your own game at your own pace. They’re a chance to put techniques into practice, test ideas and learn from different training partners.
They’re also a great opportunity to welcome people from other academies onto the mats. Different styles, different experiences and new training partners help everyone improve.
Whether you’re preparing for competition, learning something new, or just enjoying time on the mats with good people, open mats are where some of the best learning happens.
🥋 Circle of Vigour Open Mat takes place every Sunday at 10:00am.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of academy affiliation. Come and roll, drill, learn, ask questions and enjoy some mat time with a great group of people.
See you on the mats. 👊
