Open mat is one of the most important parts of your development at DVG. This is where everything starts to come together. Outside of structured class time, you get the opportunity to train freely, work on what you need most, and learn through experience. It’s a chance to get in extra rounds with a variety of training partners, build camaraderie, and deepen relationships with the people you train alongside. It’s also one of the best times to ask questions, get feedback from coaches, and start connecting the dots in your game.

We offer open mat opportunities throughout the week:

Saturday Open Mat (Open to the Public): 10:45 AM – 12:15 PM

Members Only Open Mats: Tuesday & Thursday from 6:45–7:15 PM (between Gi Fundamentals and Mixed Level)

*Slingshots & Teens are encouraged to attend open mat sessions as well.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, build stronger connections, or simply get more time on the mats, open mat is where you continue becoming who you’re capable of being.
