Back to School: We emphasize communication

Jr Jiu Jitsu Class (age 10-16) We believe jiujitsu is a means of teaching communication. Not just with our bodies but with our words. A way to express who we are and what we are thinking as well as what we are feeling.

We emphasize the idea of communication starting with talking about greetings. How do you say “hello.” Every good interaction is easier when we start with a good greeting.

As students finish up their summer and head back to school, we stress the importance of good greetings in building friendships and good interactions at school.

Submission Pro Tour Sacramento Victory for Josh

Congratulation to Josh on his victory at the Submission Pro Tour event in Sacramento this last weekend. Josh spent a great deal of time preparing for this event, even with work and his volunteer activities he takes part in to serve the community.

The submission pro tour is an event that started in the sacramento area with the slogan technique or technicality. The event has served as an exciting ground for local bjj practitioners to compete under the submission only rule set with an EBI style overtime to settle the victory. Josh won in overtime when he defended the attack from the back and submitted his opponent with an armbar. Congrats

Belt Promotion at Martial Arts Academy EDH Jiu Jitsu

Congratulations to Julian today on his promotion. Julian is as humble as they come and is just a very pleasant person to be on the mats with. He has truly used learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to help himself focus and pay attention better. We’re so very proud of him. Keep up the good work!

In learning and teaching jiujitsu we believe in the idea of getting stronger together. This is the idea that people are mutual dependent to work together and improve. One person’s weakness is our weakness and it is our responsibility to help them learn how to overcome that weakness. In the martial art of Judo, an olympic sport originating from Japan, there is a phrase “ji-ta kyo-ei” this is very similar. This idea is that people develop themselves along with others. An idea that people nourish themselves by nourishing others at the same time. It’s a beautiful concept that has been stressed and emphasized in the martial art of Judo for over a century.

We at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu look to do the same with the phrase “Getting Stronger Together.” Julian’s promotion is an accomplishment of not just him and the coach, but the entire team who has contributed to helping him realize his potential both on and off the mat.

New Martial Arts Dojo in El Dorado Hills

Come visit our new Brazilian jiu jitsu and Self Defense Dojo in El Dorado Hills. Our martial arts school in el dorado hills is an inclusive school for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners of brazilian jiujitsu.

We offer classes in the Gi and NoGi for kids as young as age 4 and have students in their teens, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. Our inclusivity allows for a training environment for men and women to train and better one another on and off the mat.

In addition to the art of brazilian jiu jitsu as a martial art, we focus on the competitive sport element of jiujitsu. As a sport jiujitsu is one of the most practical way to practice self defense under extreme stress and pressure. There is no other way to replicate self defense training like jiujitsu and maintain a safe training environment where people can come back and train again the next day or even twice, maybe three times in one day. This type of training is both technical, mental, and physical. Although beginners are gradually introduced to the concept of training with high intensity, they will eventually learn how to control their breathing, their mind, and use technique in combination with whatever strength they possess.

Our new location is in the business park in El Dorado Hills:

4669 Golden Foothill Parkway #208 El Dorado Hills, CA 95762

Drop in for a trial lesson and learn the art of brazilian jiujitsu.
