Open Mat in Garner, NC

Open Mat

Unstructured mat time to drill, roll, and put the work in. Separate sessions for kids and adults.

Program Description

Open mat is where reps add up. It is dedicated, unstructured time to drill the techniques you are working on, get extra rounds in, and train with a wider mix of partners.


We run separate kids and adult open mat sessions so everyone trains safely with the right group. Bring a question, a problem position, or just the urge to roll, and put in the work at your own pace.


No pressure and no curriculum. Just mat time, good partners, and the steady progress that comes from showing up.
