Open mat is something everyone should take advantage of.

Open mat is great.  Show up work in some stuff that you were shown by the instructors during the week but need to drill some to fine tune.  Bring someone to roll with to get your Saturday off to a good start.  Hang out and talk about BJJ. Work on something you have difficulties with as you get ready to compete.  

There are so many upsides to Open Mat I'm surprised more people don't take advantage of it.  

Here is Paul, Ezra and I at Open Mat last Saturday.
