Open Mat is an opportunity to get extra mat time, work on your techniques, drill with training partners, and roll in a relaxed environment outside of regular classes.
Open Mat gives Journey Jiu Jitsu members dedicated time to train independently. There is no formal class structure, so you can use the session to practise techniques from your regular classes, work on specific positions, or get some extra rounds in.
Our Open Mat sessions are available for both Gi and No-Gi training.
