Some open mats are free; most charge $0-20 for visitors. Members of the host school train free. Check each gym's listing for specifics or call ahead.
Do I need to be a BJJ member to attend open mat?

What should I bring to open mat?
A clean gi (and no-gi gear if you have it), mouthguard, water, and small cash for the mat fee. Showering before and clipping fingernails are mandatory hygiene basics.

How we identified these gyms
We analyzed Google review text for every gym in our directory using AI to extract structured facts — kids programs, women's classes, open mat, drop-in rates, affiliations, and equipment. A gym appears on this page only when the AI confidence score is at least 0.6, meaning multiple reviews or the gym's Google "About" data confirmed the feature. Schedules and pricing change — always confirm with the gym before showing up or signing a contract.
