Before you drop in
Open mat etiquette
Open mat is where a lot of real progress happens. Without a class plan, you get to choose how you spend your time: rolling, drilling, or working through a problem with a partner.
Treat your partners the way you'd want to be treated. Match their intensity, tap early, and help newer students have a good experience.
