Open Mat Training
Calvert MMA Academy®: The Ultimate Open Mat Experience
Refine. Experiment. Master.
At Calvert MMA Academy®, Open Mat sessions are more than just practice—they’re an opportunity to explore the limitless possibilities of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These self-driven sessions are where the magic happens: students perfect their techniques, test their skills, and forge lasting connections with a community that shares their passion for martial arts.
Why Open Mat at Calvert MMA Academy®?
A Space for Freedom and Growth
- Tailored Training: Use Open Mat to focus on what matters most to you—whether it’s drilling new techniques, refining a move that’s been giving you trouble, or testing your strategies in live sparring.
- Dynamic Sparring Opportunities: Roll with teammates of different sizes, styles, and experience levels, exposing yourself to diverse approaches that challenge and elevate your game.
- Supportive Environment: Whether you’re working on fundamentals or advanced techniques, the Open Mat culture at Calvert MMA fosters encouragement, respect, and collaboration.
A Culture of Excellence and Safety
- Controlled Freedom: While Open Mat offers the freedom to train as you see fit, safety is always our top priority. Free rolling and sparring are open to students with a minimum rank of a 2-degree white belt, though exceptions may be granted by our coaches based on individual readiness.
- Choose Your Partners: Train with those who match your goals and comfort level, ensuring a productive and enjoyable session.
- Expert Guidance Available: While Open Mat is self-driven, our coaches are always on hand to provide tips, answer questions, and ensure everyone trains responsibly.
