The main skills we focus on during the summer are the following:

  • Researching
  • Writing
  • Public Speaking

In addition to the three skills mentioned above, the projects also emphasize:

  • Creative Expression
  • Teamwork
  • Leadership
  • Anti-Bullying Awareness

These are skills that will last a lifetime as the student matures during the summer months. Here is a video of the first summer project to get the students started. The topic was to find, research, write a presentation, and give a presentation on  a 2015 Jiu Jitsu Pan American Champion or World Champion.

In this video El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu student, Alex, gave a presentation on the 2015 Pan American Champion, Alexander Trans. Alex, age 14, wrote an impressive narrative documenting how Alexander Trans got started in Jiu-Jitsu, found out information on his coaches, training and competition philosophy, and the mindset of being a champion.

Every week or every other week, depending on the depth and time of the project, students will be assigned a new topic to think about and share with their peers and the adults class  (age 14+) or kids class (age 5-9).
