Dangerous Nerds // BJJ Open Mat // by Hype
Who is this event for?
Ask yourself these 3 simple questions:
Am I dangerous?
Am I nerdy?
Do I know Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
If the answer is “Hell yurr” to all 3, then this is the event for you. And Hype invites you to definitely click the apply button.
All belts are welcome. Gi or Nogi - it's up to you.
The purpose of this event is to connect BJJ enthusiasts within our community and allow them to let off some steam between a busy conference schedule.
What’s the format?
It’s an Open Mat. Show up, shake everyone’s hand, roll, and be respectful (and dangerous!). Rounds will be 5 minutes with a 90 second break, but attendees are welcome to do what they like - it’s an Open Mat. This is not a class.
There will be a photographer taking pictures. Photos will be made available to everyone after the event.
Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t wear a stinky unwashed Gi or rash guard
Don’t try to kill your sparring partners or break their limbs
Don’t try ridiculously unsafe moves (flying scissor takedowns, for example)
Don’t wear shoes on the mats
Do bring flip flops (or use socks) off the mats
Do ask your partner before starting a roll if it’s ok to do heel hooks (or other risky moves)
Do tap early (you’ve got nerding to do at the conference remember)
Do talk to your peers after rolling with them
Do have fun
Remember, with great danger comes great responsibility.
NOTE: you will be asked to sign a waiver upon entering the gym. This is standard practice for training at any martial arts facility. The venue location will only be made available to approved attendees.
