New? Start here
Never trained? A coach or experienced training partner will walk you through the basics on the side of the mat. You can watch, drill or just ask questions.
Roll at your own pace
Positional rounds, technique sharing and light rolling. You choose who you train with and how hard you go.
Why we run it
Women's jiu-jitsu grows when women have people to train with. This open mat exists to build one community across Sioux Falls — so that whichever gym you call home, you have a room full of training partners your size, your experience level and your goals.
If you've been curious about BJJ but the idea of a full class feels intimidating, this is the easiest door in. Come watch, come ask questions, come try one thing. Nobody will throw you into the deep end.
Coaches from other gyms
Instructors and upper belts from area academies are welcome to bring their students and share technique. Message us ahead of time and we'll make room on the schedule.
Common questions
- Do I need to be a member?
- No. The open mat is open to women from any gym and to women who don't train anywhere yet.
- What should I wear?
- A gi or no-gi gear (rash guard and shorts/spats) both work. If you don't have either, athletic clothes without zippers or pockets are fine and we can loan you a gi.
- Is there hard sparring?
- Rounds are collaborative. You set the pace with your partner, and beginners can drill instead of roll.
- When exactly is the next one?
- Every other Sunday, 10:00–11:00 AM. The next session is Sunday, August 30.
