family jiujitsu at home

El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense is a martial arts school that is focused on the grappling art. In this video we introduce and explain our family jiujitsu at home program designed for those who are looking to stay active, learn, move, and have some fun.

Our jiujitsu based program incorporates several different movement arts of Brazilian jiu jitsu, wrestling, MMA, Yoga, Acrobatics, and Judo. The program is also an opportunity to also develop life skills, with an emphasis in focus, hustle, and attitude.

March closure

From Eliot Kelly:

Hi team!I hope you guys are all doing well!

At this moment (March 12) EDHBJJ will be closed. Starting March 16, we moved all of our training online.  We are using Zoom, Google hangout, and a private group on Facebook to conduct live lessons, technique study of matches, as well as scheduling private lessons through video chats. Please view our calendar for scheduled live classes.

To join the facebook group:

  1. Send me (Eliot Kelly) a Facebook friend request.
  2. Message “add me”  so I can add you to our members only bjj group.
  3. If you are opting out of facebook we understand. If you feel comfortable making an alias name to join we would love to connect with you.
  4. For those not comfortable with facebook, we have a password protected link to classes on our website. As well as links to our zoom classes, and google hangout classes on the website calendar. Please email us for the password. We will update links to our family class every week, and would love to connect with you through a scheduled private lesson.

I already miss seeing everyone’s faces, laughing, and learning with all of you. Please take proper precautions and stay safe!

June updates and starting back up

We will be returning to classes this WEDNESDAY 5/20. To join a class please send us an email. We will continue to offer ONLINE CLASSES with our classes at the dojo.

There will be 10 slots available per class; please take only ONE slot in ONE class. In order to reserve your spot you must include your name, phone number, and email. Reserving a spot means that you will train with this class and ONLY this class for the duration of this training period. “Waiting List” spots will fill spaces that may open BEFORE the training period starts.

We will be accepting donations from May and have completely turned off any and all billing. If you have any questions please email Jenni at edhbjj@gmail.com. Welcome back!

**Reminder** Please keep in mind that this is part of a gradual and cautious return to EDHBJJ. We will start with this schedule and work through any details that might need ironing out in order to potentially add more classes. Please bear with us and stay tuned!

May update

Dear team,
I miss everyone so so much! To be honest things are up and down…this is hard!!

I wanted to share some updates in an effort to maintain transparency as we move forward.

Thanks to your continued support we were able to fully pay rent and coaches for the month of April. We have put all billing on hold from April 27-May 26. We will keep teaching classes online and hope you join in on them as they have become quite refined over the last few weeks.

We are working on different plans and ironing out logistics so that when we receive directives from county and state officials we can open up classes in a manner that will allow us to train, learn, and maintain safety standards.

I want nothing more than to get back on the mats and see all of you! This team and the business that supports it are the life blood of my family and I want to assure everyone that I am doing everything in my power to make sure that we all have something to come back to, hopefully sooner rather than later!

As always, none of what we do is possible without the support of this team and every member is important! If you have feedback, questions, or any commentary I’m happy to receive it! I’m also happy to chat if you just need an ear right now. Please don’t hesitate to reach out through any form of social media or text/call.

With gratitude,
Eliot, Jenni, Ty, and Hana Jo
