Jiu Jitsu Open Mat

Attention! GB Riverside is having their Grand Reopening of this location and belt ceremony starting at 12 noon. As such, we're moving up the open mat start time to 9AM to give enough time for clean-up and setup after the open mat.

Gracie Barra Riverside has been generous enough to invite us to their open mat. This will be a recurring open mat every first Sunday of the month. As this is an open mat we won't be having formal instruction but there will be plenty of friendly and experienced people there to guide you if you're new to Jiu Jitsu. If you've never been to an open mat it's basically an opportunity to roll and/or drill. Think of it as a group study session without formal instruction. We'll be doing gi and/or no-gi, your choice.

House rules: Please wear either GB gear or non-affiliated gear (blank gis or rash guards/t-shirt). We'll have some extras just in case.

Recommendations on what to bring:

-BRING WATER or sports drink

-Clean, comfortable clothes that won't scratch or snag (no zippers or buttons). Again, non-affiliated.

-Sandals and flip flops -- this will let you move on and off the mat easily

-Trimmed fingernails and toenails

-Hair ties if you have long hair

-Useful: The meetup app with mobile notifications activated. Instructions here (https://www.meetup.com/help/customer/portal/articles/1751720-edit-my-email-and-notification-settings-from-the-mobile-apps/)
