Open Mat
Reflect, refine and reset
Put the week's skills into practice in extended sessions to roll, drill and connect with the crew in a casual, supportive setting.
What is Open Mat?
Practice makes permanent
Open Mat is where the theory of the week meets the reality of the mat. These extended sessions give you room to put learned skills into practice, in a casual environment where you can roll, drill and spend time with the people you train alongside.
Through a mix of drilling, play and positional rolling you build the muscle memory and body awareness that only come from repetition and exploration. It is a time to slow down, troubleshoot a specific movement and see how your BJJ actually works.
The atmosphere is relaxed, but you are never without support — coaches observe and take part, adapting their advice to your body and your goals.
Tailored guidance
Coaches adapt advice to your individual body type and your specific training goals.
Extended sessions
More time on the mat to reflect on your progress and refine the details that class moved past.
Community connection
A warm, welcoming space to train with and get to know the Rogue crew.
