β β β β β Facility: It's a small basement, it can lack fresh air but not too bad. Changing rooms are very basic and small too. the facility seems to be relatively clean for a grappling gym, no complaints there. There is a weights area, I wish it was used as some sort of stretching/lounge area. There are gyms everywhere in Toronto, I would get rid of it. 3/5
People: The students/staff/instructors are very friendly and nice people, anybody would feel welcome here. 5/5
Schedule: Really good schedule but it could have been better if there were more weekend classes, especially if you're under 30. 4/5
Instructors: Elliot, Mike & Carlos are really great instructors but Elliot does not teach as often as I would like. I haven't gotten used to some other instructors teaching style but that's normal. 4/5
Pricing: BJJ is expensive (compared to yoga studios, which basically are open spaces + instructors, just like BJJ) at any gym in Toronto, and probably around the world, here is no exception.
Overall: I have no idea about striking part (kickboxing), can't comment. If the facility was better, this would be a 5/5 gym for a hobbyist like me.

β β β β β Great facility. I can see the appeal OpenMat holds. Coach Elliott and his team are very friendly. The athletes are all very friendly.
We attended for a weekend BJJ seminar and that was a good experience.
Thank you for a great experience. Looking forward to many more.

β β β β β I was visiting from out of town and emailed to ask about dropping in for a class. The GM Taisley was quick to reply and welcomed me with a free first class. The facility was very clean, big and nicely ventilated. Elliott taught the class I went to and was a phenomenal instructor. He went over each move in detail and fixed even the smallest of details. He was very generous and even invited me to join his competition class the following day. If you're visiting or thinking of starting BJJ, I highly recommend you check out OpenMat MMA.

β β β β β They claim to offer personal trainers with flexibility to train around your schedule and offer different belt levels to meet various types of budgets, but when I tried to book a trainer no one was every available. I had an intro lesson with Prince, but he was too busy to take on any new clients, so I began meeting with James, who had a very inconsistent schedule, one week he would be free three times a week, then the next week only twice, then one week not at all, he also cancelled a bunch of times last minute or just wouldn't show up, then he said he wasn't available to continue training at all. I then met with another trainer Aaron but after being tossed around between trainers so many times I called it quits.
The students in standard classes are not friendly to new comers. Students only want to spar/roll with their friends or who they know. Unless you know someone or go with someone into the class the chances of rolling with someone is very rare.

β β β β β I started at OpenMat about a month ago. I was worried about learning BJJ because there are typically mostly guys in the classes. I was warmly welcomed by everyone at OpenMat and each class the Class Assistant (Amber-- she is amazing) works very 1:1 with the girls in the class. I have learned a lot so far and will keep coming back ?

β β β β β I came to learn self defence and stayed for the positive culture! All the coaches are so kind and take the time to thoughtfully explain the techniques to you. Not only will they explain the moves to you until you get it but they also make sure that you don't hurt yourself while trying it out. All my partners have been kind and aren't aggressive. I highly recommend coming here to learn self defence and BJJ!

β β β β β Iβve done jujitsu for many years and have trained at many different schools around the world. I have to say without a doubt that Coach Bayev and his other coaches are second to none. They are the friendliest, most welcoming group who are always willing to go the extra mile to teach and to help their students grow.
