But what exactly is it?<\/p>\n<h2>Free training<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>BJJ and No-Gi<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it's good for you<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You train with different people from your usual group.<\/li>\n<li>You put what you've learnt into practice without the pressure of a class.<\/li>\n<li>You bond with the team: the Open Mat is one of the most \u201cfamily\u201d moments of the week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can I come if I'm a beginner?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, but we recommend having at least a few weeks of classes under your belt to make the most of it.
