Open Mat
Class Details
- Free Roll, Drill & Connect
Open Mat is unstructured training time for members to roll, drill, and connect with teammates. No formal instruction — just space to apply what you have learned, get live reps, and sharpen your game.
Use Open Mat to drill specific positions, roll with partners of different styles, and build the mat time that turns techniques into instinct. Coaches are often present for quick feedback between rolls.
Open Mat runs Sundays 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM. Free. Any gym welcome. All DAK members and visiting grapplers are invited to come roll, drill, and connect.
