On Saturdays from 11:30 to 13:00 the Dream Art mats open for the Open Mat. But what exactly is it?
Free training
There is no structured class at an Open Mat. Everyone comes to practise what they want: go over the week's techniques, roll (controlled sparring) with training partners from other time slots or prepare for a competition.
BJJ and No-Gi
You can come with or without a gi. It's common to see pairs training BJJ and others training No-Gi on the same mat.
Why it's good for you
- You train with different people from your usual group.
- You put what you've learnt into practice without the pressure of a class.
- You bond with the team: the Open Mat is one of the most “family” moments of the week.
Can I come if I'm a beginner?
Yes, but we recommend having at least a few weeks of classes under your belt to make the most of it. And if you have questions, ask any instructor: there's always someone happy to lend a hand.
