Open Mat is one of the most valuable hours of training you’ll have all week.

Every Wednesday at 4:45 PM, the mats are yours.

This is your opportunity to sharpen the techniques you’ve been learning in class, ask questions, get extra rounds in, and spend time working on the areas of your game that need the most attention. Whether you’re drilling with a partner, getting live rounds, or troubleshooting a position with a coach, Open Mat is where good grapplers become great grapplers.

There are no new techniques being taught—just focused time to improve. Bring a training partner, work with someone new, or jump into rounds with teammates of all experience levels.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I was better at...” Open Mat is the answer.

Every Wednesday
🕓 4:45 PM

The students who improve the fastest aren’t always the ones who train the most—they’re the ones who make the most of every opportunity to train.

As we head into the final week of July, it’s time to put the finishing touches on everything we’ve been building this month.

In our Advanced Classes, we’ll be tightening up the submission sequences we’ve been working on, refining the small details that make techniques more efficient and more effective. Often it’s these final adjustments—not learning something new—that make the biggest difference in your success on the mat.

Our Fight Flow classes will bring together lessons from across the Beginner Curriculum, helping students connect individual techniques into complete, functional sequences. Rather than thinking about techniques as isolated movements, you’ll begin to see how each position, escape, transition, and submission fits into a larger game plan.

Whether you’re brand new or have been training for years, this is an excellent week to attend class consistently. Repetition, refinement, and connecting the dots are what turn knowledge into skill.

We’ll see you on the mats!

We wanted to provide an update regarding today’s gym conditions.

At this time, the temperature inside the gym is not high enough to require canceling children’s classes. However, it is warm enough that we will need to keep the doors open and the fans running to maintain a safe and comfortable environment.

We recognize that the current wildfire smoke in our area may make this less than ideal. If you or your child have asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or any other respiratory condition, we encourage you to use extreme caution and make the decision that is best for your health. Please use your own judgment when deciding whether to attend class.

This is an unusual situation, and we are doing our best to balance the need for adequate ventilation with the air quality challenges we are facing. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and cooperation as we navigate these conditions together.

This week’s Beginner BJJ classes are all about escaping the mount! 🥋

Getting stuck underneath mount happens to everyone—but staying there doesn’t have to.

This week you’ll learn:
✅ How to stay safe under pressure.
✅ The bridge-and-roll (upa) escape.
✅ The elbow-knee escape.
✅ How to recognize the right time to use each technique.

Strong defense builds confident offense, and these are fundamental skills every grappler should know.

Whether you’re brand new or looking to sharpen your fundamentals, we’d love to have you on the mats this week!

See you in class! 💪 TrainHard OSS

If you'd’like, I can also adapt these to match your gym’s voice—more family-friendly, competition-focused, or casual.
