Support Our Work
We exist thanks to the support of our community, and for the sake of our community. We are working towards registering as a non-profit and are currently funded entirely by contributions from participants at our events. We want to do so much more! Help us help us!

Empowering Community Through Martial Arts
To empower our community by facilitating self-defense and combat sport training for everyone from those with zero experience to instructors and coaches. We accomplish this through the provision of resources, support and networking, organizing events, and establishing inclusive spaces, co-creating a training environment with deep roots in alternative fight culture.
Our Mission
Our Vision
A future free of fear and hate, embodying protection and firm-but-compassionate boundaries. We envision strong, interconnected, joyful communities of people standing up for themselves and each other, building a world based on mutual respect, camaraderie, and accountability.
I would not be who I am without the people in the Open Mat Project. They have given me more than I had though possible, from training and gathering spaces to friendship and care. This community gives so much more than martial arts, it gives radical joy.
