One of the best decisions we have made for the growth of our five year old son is getting him involved with Open Mat. Although at first we were hesitant it took absolutely no time for our young son to feel comfortable and involved. The whole experience has been wonderful and our son very much enjoys his classes daily. The other students are so sweet and it truly feels like a family environment where everyone helps and looks out for each other while working hard. We really appreciate the details and expertise the coaches put into the students as well as the discipline and patience. Open mat has really helped our sons growth and we are so thankful to have found this goldmine in Tracy. 10/10 highly recommend.
Since I started at open mat academy, my life has changed in a great way. I am gaining knowledge by the best in the area. Everyone at the academy is very dedicated to teaching the students the way of martial arts. I was very comfortable when I started and still am due to the fact that all the instructors take time to teach everyone great details to be successful. It is not just an amazing training center but a family that works to be the best in the state!
I brought my kids to open mat to teach them self-defense but they learned so much more like respect! The facility was very clean and the staff was very nice and professional! Chris (owner) is very professional and very knowledgeable about his craft and his passion radiates off him. Brandon (instructor) is also very knowledgeable and GREAT with the kids! He is able to teach the kids at their level and ends every class with a fun game which all the kids enjoy! I high recommend Open Mat for all ages, I promise you won’t be disappointed!!
Super friendly and dedicated to helping you train! Always respectful and take the time to work with you regardless of skill level. The trainers are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had nothing but good experiences. I highly recommend! ❤️
Open mat academy is a very good gym to join if you ever want to do self defense and if you want to lose wait. Very good behavior and respectful, I recommend this place 10/10. I don’t have any more words what to say about this team, it’s a wonderful family and a good team to be in.
My wife and I were visiting her family near Tracy and wanted to check out a class while here as we train in Orlando. My wife called and asked about classes, and we were welcomed to come and train. Chris, Brandon, and their dad were extremely professional and kind. They are very knowledgeable and even though we were only there for two classes, they helped us a lot. They embodied respect, and we could not recommend their gym enough. The individuals that train there as well were just as welcoming and helpful. If you live in the Tracy area, and are interested in learning and training Jiu Jitsu, go check them out.
Open Mat is not only a gym where you train everyday and you became part of a team. You become part of the Open Mat family. Training everyday helped me over come my nicotine addiction and be more energetic in life. You will become a better person in life.
My kids are part of this academy and have learned so much. This family environment makes sure everyone feels welcome and is in an atmosphere conducive for learning!Update:I decided to join in the fun and dont regret it one bit. Great form of conditioning and a great way to get back into taking care of myself.

Great gym for close tight knit family. We recommend Open Mat for all ages. Coach Brandon & Coach Devin are great!!!
Amazing gym all the way around. Joined Jiu jitsu for the first time ever doing a contact sport and completely changed my life. Everyone there is so willing to help and wants to see you improve. I love coming every day I can, a true family.
I really love open mat academy because the team is very family oriented and family friendly. Plus they offer everything from Black Belt Gracie Certified Cesar Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, excellent programs of kids and adults, boxing, and traditional martial arts. The prices are fair and they have deals for multiple students and family plans. Check them out online, they offer a free class so you can try it so there is really nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Easily one of the most welcoming and knowledgeable gyms Ive ever been to. If youre ever in the Bay area do yourself a favor and stop by to train with these guys!
I’m so thankful for Open Mat Academy. Me my brother and nephews all come here. They have such an amazing and welcoming family environment. And they have the best coaches who always pour their time energy and effort into helping each and every one of us grow and get better. There’s not enough words to describe how great this place is!
Could not say enough great things about this Academy. I’m so glad to we were able to find a place in the Valley where my boys and I can get the best martial arts training from the most knowledgeable professors and coaches.Thats what makes a gym family so special. Its the people you meet along the way to making yourself a better person while getting in shape.
Words cannot explain how perfect of an experience my brother and I had. This is a 5 star MMA experience and you won’t regret going in for a free workout to see if you agree with me or not. They are professional, respectful, patient, and more. I hope to save up the money and be able to send my son here when he is old enough. I can’t say enough good things. Trust me. Go in and see for yourself.

Best place to train. True family atmosphere with coaches who push you to do your Best! So many different programs to choose from and each one is unique and worth every drop of sweat.
Great place get a good workout in
Open mat academy is great for all ages starting from age 4 and up. The instructors are really great at what they do and have years of experience. The enviroment is like no other and they make you feel right at home from day 1. Look no further and check them out you will not regret it
Went to another place and wasn’t impressed I was hesitant but tried open mat expecting more of the same I ended up signing up that day and haven’t regretted it. It’s a family run place and it really shows. You walk in and feel welcome by everyone. The coaches are amazing and will take the time out to make you understand how and why something worked or didn’t. After my dads passing I was pretty upset all the time except when I was in the gym with the team they would have me laughing and joking within 5 minutes every time. I don’t think I could have found a better place to call home. Thanks JR, Chris and all of the open mat crew!
My brother and I have been with the Cardona’s on and off for more than ten years. We consider them family and owe them a great deal. Open mat academy has a great environment and world class training. Come try a class!
Knowledgeable instructors who truly care about your improvement in the art. A great school for children, teens, and adults who are searching for a place to train with more than fair pricing
This is the best academy out there. The instructors are very skilled and treat you like family. This place has not only been a great place to learn jiu jitsu, but has been a great place to help relieve/manage stress and build confidence.
Open Mat Academy is IBJJF certified with a family welcoming mentality. I started JiuJitsu with the Cardona’s about 6 years ago and now I have my little brothers enrolled in the classes too (we love the safe environment). All of the instructors for the classes are black belt experts and compete! They take their time to make you better! Great for boxing and wrestling too!
Great place for beginners. Very welcoming environment and great instructors. I was searching for a place to continue my Jiu jitsu training when I moved to Tracy, CA went for a free class at OpenMat and had to look no further
Great place. Best gym in Tracy, they have multiple activities for kids and adults. The instructors know how to communicate with everyone and help everyone out. They have Wrestling coaches which is rare and have jiu-jitsu everyday of the week.
