Blue belt promotion! Ryan has been a diligent practitioner for the past several years but was sidelined with an injury that forced him to sit out for an extended period at time. As soon as he had recovered he was back on the mats and training consistently. We are proud to have him at the academy to promote him to Blue belt! Keep up the good work, Ryan!

It’s great to see students achieve the next level of challenge in the form of a belt promotion in jiujitsu. Although Ryan was out with an injury and surgery, he was always connected to the academy and found a way back into the dojo. Even though he wasn’t training it never felt like he was away. He’s a great example what what to do when you are injured and unable to train the way everyone else is.

We’re looking forward to seeing him continue to train and make an impact on those who might find themselves injured or down and out from not being able to fully train like everyone else.

Grey Belt promotion! Ian received his well deserved solid-grey belt today! Ian has been training with us for several years now and it has been beyond rewarding to see him transform into a well disciplined and respectful young man. He’s eager to learn from his instructors and eager to help his peers. Because of love for Jiu-jitsu his parents were inspired to train and have become dedicated practitioners themselves. Congratulations Ian!

EDH JiuJitsu places a strong emphasis on being family friendly. What does that mean? We want the entire family to feel comfortable near, around, or on the mat. Not everyone needs to be training. We value the experience the family has. To do so we’ve invested in a comfortable space for people to spend time when they are not training. We have toys, chess, books, coloring books, and fun things for kids and adults to chill with. Our goal is to provide a family friendly space where everyone has something to do.

6am jiujitsu has its first belt promotion today! Congrats to Mark on his blue belt!

Mark comes from a background in engineering & cycling and brings a very scientific and analytical approach to his learning on the mat. He brings energy and enthusiasm to our 6am group and when time allows, volunteer coaches in the evening with his children on the mat.

He is currently collecting newborn baby supplies at the dojo through October 11th. The donations will be brought to help families in the greater Placerville area.

The fundraiser is going on through the month of October and we encourage everyone to participate by donating or even better, making a Star jar to get others to participate in the donation process.

Group promotion with Mya, Liliana, and Phoebe! These three earned their grey white belt promotion in the Jr class. They are fierce. They are dedicated. They are leaders. It’s great to see them pushing themselves and their teammates in practice. No strangers to competition, they have embraced the multi faceted approach to learning and understanding jiujitsu in practice and competition. We’re excited to see them grow in their new challenges!

Blue belt promotion – EDH BJJ 柔 – Congrats to Brad on his blue belt promotion. Brad has embraced jiujitsu as an opportunity to challenge himself, to redefine his boundaries, and contribute to our community. He maintains a busy schedule with family, work in the Bay Area, and still finds time to train consistently.

For his community project, he built A small library for anyone to use and access. This is a literacy project to promote reading in our community. The more books people have available, the higher the rate of literacy in the community!

Awesome job on Daniel’s performance today! Daniel had a beautiful armbar in the semifinals and took Silver at the Bjj Tour in Livermore today!

Congratulations to Rich on taking silver at the Bjj Tour in Livermore! Rich won two matches by submission on his way to the finals!

The jiujitsu demo at edh is part of tracking each students individual progression. In addition to technical evaluations, we also record what the student has learned. This process helps everyone see what they have attained in their practice.

Here is a video example after students have finished their second stripe on their white belt. The half way point in their belt progression.

Make a Star Treatment collection Jar and collect money to donate to the organization! We will be counting our totals the end of October!

Good job to Olivia on her grey belt competition debut! Competing at a new belt level is like starting all over from the beginning and she did great today!
