My Open Mat

Built for what happens between classes.

You already know most students don't retain what they drill. My Open Mat gives every student a private, position-based notebook — log a technique and how confident it feels in seconds after class. Not a video library. Theirs.

Grading, without the guesswork

You already publish grading criteria. We want to map your belt/stripe requirements straight onto the app, so students see their own readiness and you get a clean view before grading day. We’d shape this around your syllabus first.

Retention that doesn’t rely on willpower

Students who can see progress stick around. “I should work on my guard passing” becomes something they can actually watch build over weeks.

It learns their game, not just their notes

When a student spots a pattern — “if they post their arm, I go to the triangle” — the app turns it into a saved reaction they can pull up before rolling. It’s closer to how a coach actually thinks than a checklist is.

A Few Questions You'll Probably Have
Does this replace how I teach?

No — it’s what students do between classes, not instead of being on the mat.

What does it cost?

Free. We built this for the community, not to sell it back to you.

Who’s behind this?

Built by a purple belt, for anyone tired of forgetting what they drilled.
