Saturday Community
Open Mat
All Academies Welcome

Come to an open mat and train with expert instruction.

Every Saturday, we host a community Open Mat designed to bring together grapplers from across Corpus and the surrounding area. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a competitor, or a coach from another academy, you’re welcome to come roll, share knowledge, and sharpen your game in a friendly, respectful environment. Our goal is to make Sugoi Submissions a hub for high-level training and connection in the local jiu-jitsu scene.

Donation-Based, Not Required...Just Show Up Ready to Train

Our Saturday Open Mat is donation-based. If you’d like to support what we’re building, you can make a contribution when you register, but it’s not required to step on the mats. We care more about creating a tough, technical room than putting a price tag on every round. Bring your gi, bring your no-gi gear, and bring the right attitude.

Please Give Us a Heads Up Before You Come

We don’t accept true “walk-ins” for Open Mat. For safety and insurance reasons, everyone must complete a quick waiver and check-in form before they train. It only takes a minute, and it helps us keep the environment organized and safe for everyone on the mats. If you’re planning to drop in, just fill out the short form linked on this page so we know you’re coming.

Build Relationships, Get Tough Rounds, Grow the Community

Open Mat is where a lot of long-term connections and opportunities get created—new training partners, future seminar attendees, and friends from other teams. Expect a mix of belts and styles, plenty of hard but respectful rounds, and a room focused on helping each other get better. If you’re in town and looking for serious training on Saturdays, this is where you want to be.
